Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

I pray this finds you in the best of health and spirits.

Yes, such hair removal is permissible–for those places where hair removal is permissible. (Women shouldn’t use it to remove the hair on their head, for example–though that isn’t likely, Alhamdulillah.)

And Allah alone gives success.
