As a rule hair laser is not covered under insurance.  This applies even for hair growth causedby medical diagnoses such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, brain tumors and pituitary stimulation,chronic folliculitis or other hormonal issues.  You can always call your insurance company, butI would plan on paying out of pocket for this.  You can watch closely for practices with excellenthair lasers and see when they have hair laser specials.  Even a few treatments will lessen the thicknessof the hair growth.  If the problem is "coming back more painful", you should have it assessed bya dermatologist in case you have a bacterial infection or new hormonal issues.
