Has Anyone Been Able To Get Laser Treatment Covered By Insurance ? Also Any Recommendations For Electric Shavers For Bikini Area

The NHS doesn't cover for free laser hair removal in Northern Ireland . In 2014 I had 7 sessions, roughly £100 for 30 mins, that's a lot of time. You can buy per area sessions. I prefer to pay the time and get other areas done. Point to note, tendskin stings when you 1st use it but it didn't after using daily. It's worth the minor discomfort (in my opinion ☺️) I've just ordered some on Amazon. The dermatologist at the laser clinic won't be in work until Monday, so am waiting on what his reply will be. All the best with your journey.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254610580706?chn=ps&.... I used that if I shaved , which was often before I had laser hair removal in 2014. It isn't as expensive as I thought it would be..I also used tendskin when not shaving, as it exfoliates and made me feel so clean & prevented ingrown hairs. I've just started to flare again, this past year. Hairs have grown back a little, I have contacted the dermatologist, who runs the laser clinic here in northern Ireland querying deroofing plus laser . Regardless I am going to get laser hair removal again as it worked for me. Tendskin is fantastic, well worth the money & probably a lot cheaper in America. You can also make a version of it yourself. I would never shave now , it is just too risky (groin area, hurley stage 2). I'm also going to order tendskin again. I haven't needed any for years but it's amazing, for me anyway.these are the Ingredients to make it : 5.5 oz rubbing alcohol, 26-28 uncoated aspirin, and 2.5 oz witch hazel. Mix it up in a spray or flip top bottle, let the aspirin dissolve, give it a good shake or 3. Voila!

Some members have reported that their insurance covered laser hair removal due to their hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). However, this coverage may not be available for everyone, so it's best to check with your insurance provider.

For electric shavers, members have found success using trimmers with a low guard or clippers on grade level one. These options help achieve a short trim without causing irritation or HS breakouts.
