Question

If it is allowed to shave the beard with a laser on the lower part of the chin, neck and also on the cheeks under the eyes?

Thank you

Answer

Hello & Greetings

A person suffering from abnormal hair on the face or beard and neck, which interferes with his appearance, can remove it with laser treatment, and this is not part of the ‘isur’ of “a man shall not wear a woman’s dress”. However, if he does so, for the purpose of removing ugliness, but if he does not suffer from abnormal growth, but wishes to remove the hair for an addition of ornamentation and beauty, it should be forbidden because “a man shall not wear a woman’s dress”.

Also, although there is no prohibition against mutilating the beard with laser treatment to remove beard hair, you must be careful not to shave first with a razor but with a shaver machine without too much attachment to the skin of the face.

Best regards

Rabbi David Ohayon

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
