Dangerous: It is a fairly dangerous place to get laser hair removal for a number of reasons, including reported cases of eye injury and blindness. We only perform laser hair removal below the infra orbital rim. Make sure you are seeing a reputable doctor for laser hair removal and check out the laser they are using. Not all lasers are equal and some are not suitable for darker skin types.

Laser forehead: As long as your eyes are protected and the settings are correct you should have no problem with laser hair removal on any part of your face. Use a certified technician who is supervised by a plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
