Are there any nonsurgical options to reduce the forehead?

Question

I was wondering if there are any non surgical options to reduce the forehead, such as hair growth treatments that would help lower the hairline? Thanks!

You cannot have a forehead reduction without having surgery.  You may  need to see a doctor for an examination and a better understanding of what is possible.

Nonsurgical options for hairline lowering? There are no nonsurgical options for lowering a hairline. HAirline lowering with hair line advancement is a surgical operation which gives excellent results if properly done. Hope this answers your question.

There are no non-surgical options to lower the hairline. I recommend the Irregular Trichophytic Hairline Incision Technique that we described many years ago.

The universal answers to your question are hair styling or a hairpiece for non surgical coverage of the forehead . Medication might be tried, but if you are looking to cover 1-3 cm of forehead, you will not be impressed with results. If you are a young man whose hair is receding, medication is worthwhile to help maintain the hair you have. The surgical hairline lowering operation for females with tall foreheads and flexible scalps has been very successful in my experience.
