I'm sure if Kaiser does hair removal, like laser type, it will be by

Kaiser's self-pay. elective " Cosmetic Services " which are provided

on a fee-for-service basis, separate from and not covered under your

Health Plan benefits. Non covered plastic surgery is offered by

this same program.

You have to pay for these services, even though Kaiser claims the

services are priced competitively.

When I do my " reconstructive surgery " , I don't plan on only the

covered part, and I don't think I will use Kaiser for my self-pay PS.

Reminds me of both my dad and hubby, and they got balder on top

their chests and backs got harrier! LOL! I always thought of it as

the hair slipped lower on their bodies!!! LOL!

have to check on them. Have you ever checked to see about if Kaiser

does the laser hair removal?
