Female removing facial hair with a blade/shaver

Q: Is it permissible for a female to remove facial hair with a blade/shaver etc.?

A: It is permissible. However, through removing it with a blade/shaver, the hair will begin to become thick and grow faster. Therefore, it is better for a woman to wax the hair on her face.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
