Brazillian Wax
Question
Would it be permissible to get a Brazilian wax, carried out by a Muslim female, for medical reasons? It is recommended by doctors as I am susceptible to infections with other methods. It is difficult to wax on my own.
Answer
It is not permissible for a female to expose her Satr before another female without a valid Shari’ee reason. If there is no other option except having the Brazilian Wax done (which requires exposing the private part before another person), then we suggest that your husband assists you with the waxing.
ALLAH TA’ALA IN HIS INFINTIE KNOWLEDGE KNOWS BEST!

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
