Hair Removal During Bein HaMetzarim

Question

May a woman remove a small amount of hair in specific areas with a razor?
And afterward, may she undergo laser treatment in that area if it is necessary for the continuity of the treatment?

Answer

Shalom u'vracha 

Our teacher, Rabbi Amram Fried shlita, ruled:

A. Hair removal has the same halachic status as a haircut. 

B. If postponing the treatment until after Tisha B'Av would result in a loss, it is permitted.
