Distancing itself from the more barbaric forms of hair removal, Priciderm, with help from its Quebec ad agency Carte Blanche, has recently launched an S&M themed campaign to promote its seemingly less painful laser hair removal process.

The headline translates from French to "Stop torturing your skin".

Are we sure creatives aren't doing these sadomasochism inspired ads just to be able to push their porn-shop receipts onto the "expenses" pile? :)
previous: Pleasure and Pain for Sensodyne and that poor tortured bird: Anti-Foie gras ads. ;)
Kidding aside, I'm not decrypting this quite right or something is missing. The first one is a executioners mask right? Coupled with the razor? Like the guilliotin?
The second is the S&M mask and the ripping of hair via wax.. and the third is ...? Someone cutting themselves while shaving? Did they hit thier deep vein or what?
