Hairline Lowering

Lower a high or receded hairline by 1–4 cm in a single sitting.

Hairline lowering can be done two ways: surgically (forehead reduction — a strip of forehead skin is excised and the hairline advanced) or via transplantation (FUE/DHT grafts to create a lower hairline). RenovaAura usually recommends transplant-based lowering for its scarless result.

The Process

What happens, step by step.

Step 1

Consultation & Forehead measurement

A detailed assessment of hair loss, scalp condition, donor area, and treatment goals is performed to create a personalized treatment plan.

Step 2

Local anaesthesia

Local anaesthesia is administered to ensure a comfortable and pain-free procedure.

Step 3

Recipient Area Designing

Tiny recipient sites are created using specialized micro blades or needles. The surgeon designs a natural hairline and carefully plans the areas requiring density enhancement while preserving existing hair.

Step 4

Donor Follicular Unit Extraction

Healthy hair follicular units are individually extracted from the donor area using advanced hair transplant techniques in the ratio of 1:4.

Step 5

Graft Implantation

The extracted follicles are carefully implanted into the thinning areas with precise attention to angle, depth, and direction for natural-looking growth

Step 6

Post-Procedure Care & Recovery

After the procedure, detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments are provided to support healing and monitor hair growth.

Frequently asked

Patient questions, answered honestly.

Transplant for most — surgical forehead reduction works faster but leaves a thin scar along the hairline. We'll review both options at consultation.
