Removing armpit and pubic hair by laser

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on removing armpit and pubic hair by what is called laser procedures, such that it never grows back?

Answer:
This is a matter for the doctors, because this is harmful; the fact that it never appears again harms the body. This hair has a benefit for the body. If you remove it in a way that it does not grow back, the body is harmed by that. Yes.
