Getting rid of Greys
Hi Girls, I just came across a site discussing a hair removal machine that gets rid of Greys..It is called an Elos ME..you can buy a home unit..I would guess between $700 – $800…on Amazon.. This machine was invented by the man who first came up with IPL..Elos uses a mix of Light energy and Radio energy..I am not saying you should buy it.. I have never tried it..IT says it works on all hairs even Greys.. So if you have Greys and it is to late to use IPL,maybe ELOS is worth buying.. Applesonics Selectif is an Ultrasound based hair removal system that claim to remove greys and can be used to contour eyebrows.. Another option to keep an eye out for. .I guess it may turn up in Beauticians in the future.. Hope this helps Jessica

Hi Jessica,
I had elos when it first was introduced in salons here ( about 2006). They claimed then that it would remove grey hairs, although they later modified their claim to “permanent hair reduction”. I thought it was great on my darker hairs, but unfortunately it was not so effective on the greys and gingers that I was really hoping to get rid of. Maybe I lost 15% of the lighter coloured hair, hard to tell accurately.
If they have improved the technology significantly to really be effective on grey hair then maybe I would have another go at it, but I certainly wouldn’t fork out $500 or more until they can prove it really works,
Regards,

The Elos ME website specifically states that it will only work on women’s facial hair. If it is a grey beard you are trying to remove then they don’t claim the product will do that.
So the usual advice – read the small print very carefully before spending $$$ on the latest miracle! -
Thankyou Adrian and apologies to all, I failed to go to the company site..I thought I had found something new and improved
