Can You Write Off Laser Hair Removal?
Short answer: No: hair removal for appearance is cosmetic and not deductible.
It's deductible only in rare cases tied to treating a disease.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
