Is Laser Hair Removal HSA Eligible?

Conditionally Eligible

Laser hair removal is usually not HSA eligible because it's cosmetic, but may be eligible in limited cases where it treats a diagnosed medical condition (requires strong documentation, often LMN).

Cosmetic treatments are generally not qualified unless primarily for treatment of disease or to improve bodily function (IRS Publication 502).

Eligibility Conditions
