Can I get a referral for tattoo removal and laser hair removal from my family doctor?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You can, but it's not necessary. I recommend looking to get a formal consultation with a tattoo removal expert and/or laser hair removal expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you  for your question! Referrals from your family doctor are not necessary for laser hair or tattoo removal unless you suffer from certain conditions that would require consultation with an expert as well as with your family doctor. Nevertheless, if wanting to have laser or hair removal done, it is necessary to consult an expert and have it done by certified provider. Either way, cosmetic procedure such as laser hair and tattoo removals are not covered by insurance. Best of luck!

It is not necessary to have a referral from your doctor. This is considered "cosmetic" and most insurance will not cover a procedure like this anyways.  I would reccommend a follow up with a provider that has experience with tattoo removal.

A referral from you Primary care provider is not needed. I would recommend follow up with a reputable provider in Tattoo removal.
