Laser hair removal during the Nine Days

Question

Is it permitted for a woman to undergo laser hair removal during the Nine Days, when this is a treatment for which one must wait two months on the waiting list?

Answer

For Sephardim it is permitted, and for Ashkenazim one should not be lenient, unless there is a special need.
