A Facebook post published by the Center for Aesthetics, which offered joint hair removal treatment to mothers and their daughters, was removed from the page's posts yesterday (Wednesday) after causing a storm of angry reactions.
"Hair removal treatments for mothers and girls. Quality time," read a post that published the treatment offered at the Organic Aesthetics Center, next to a picture of a mother and her little daughter.
While the girl will receive laser treatment, her mother will be able to wait for her and receive her own pampering, the ad promised.
The surfers on the advertising network were less impressed, and a variety of angry reactions began to accumulate, when on the female Facebook page "need it for yesterday", the winds were especially stormy.
"I really wondered how I could bond with my three-year-old," a friend wrote on the page, adding, "I want to cry from such commercials. Especially as a relatively hairy girl, and even more so as a mother to a hairy girl who is expected to have a tough life with such a girlfriend."
"I was just thinking of ideas for a mother and daughter activity. My 4.5 year old daughter, maybe instead of experimenting and creating at home we will go out for some good hair removal and connecting treatment? What do you say?", Another friend wrote cynically, and others angrily added: And "maybe somehow if they put a 16-year-old girl there, but this girl is barely ten! Why does she need hair removal ?. It's sick on so many levels."
As mentioned, the post has been removed from the page in the meantime, but a search of the review tab could still find angry comments: "In which section do you think it is okay to communicate hair removal for girls? Tell my daughter that she needs to remove hair in other places just to sell more. Speak".
The Organic Center responded that, "We want to make it clear that the purpose of the publication was to help those children who are overweight and pay a social and emotional price for it. If this was understood otherwise this was not the intention and we regret it. We specialize in hair removal treatments for children and adolescents. "Comprehensive diagnoses before the start of the treatments. The need and request for this type of treatment comes from the children themselves, who often suffer from bullying and are intended to help them increase their self-confidence."
