Making sure there is sufficient evidence of effectiveness to both products and treatments is the best approach. While word of mouth holds a certain amount of credibility, we also need, like iconic tag line from Dragnet, “just the facts.” 

One service that is becoming increasingly popular is PEMF for its usefulness and broad flexibility to so many. 

PEMF, or Pulsed electromagnetic field is a non-invasive, drug free and non - painful treatment that uses low-level electromagnetic fields to help cellular repair, reduce pain, and improve circulation. It pioneered as treatment for wound healing and fractures. But did you know it also has a history for reducing inflammation, aids in sleep and relaxation, improves circulation, and assists in alleviating pain? 

PEMF helps your body recover faster from injury as well as stimulates cells to restore and recharge metabolism. It treats your cells like batteries as they send magnetic energy into the body that in turn promotes healing and restores energy by increasing the production of electrolytes and ions. 

If you are looking for an alternative to drugs and surgery, be sure to investigate PEMF. It’s not just for humans either. Veterinarians have been using it to treat horses, dogs, and cats with remarkable success for quite some time. 

Red light therapy is another must-have in at home anti-aging tool collection. The Indian journal of Dermatology found blue and red light have notable effects on mild to moderate inflammatory acne. Another study found patients who used at home treatments with a handheld device over a month experienced 70% reduction in inflammatory acne by 8 weeks after their final treatment. 

A research paper published in AIMS Biophys found that red light therapy can effectively promote healing and reduce inflammation in skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. 

Stubborn stretch marks were treated with red light therapy in a study conducted by the journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery. The results showed decrease in appearance of marks by collagen synthesis and  

PEMF devices can range in size form smaller at home to large, clinical grade equipment. From mats to handheld devices, options for devices are varied. The waveforms vary (sinusoidal, rectangular, and triangular) using strength and frequencies ranging from 6 Hz to 500 Hz. 

Contraindications for this therapy are those with electronic implants, pregnant women, or those with active bleeding or serious infections. Rare side effects such as mild headaches, fatigue or skin irritation can occur. 

Clinical studies done in orthopedics site improvements in treatment osteoarthritis, improved bone healing, and post-operative pain. 

Red Light therapy is gaining a huge fan base for its anti-aging results, and it is now being parted with PEMF. While red light therapy increases ATP production in the mitochondria for energy, PEMF optimizes cell membrane potential and enhances circulation. 

The end results of this power combo is enhancing tissue health, faster healing, and nervous system reset. Some choose to stack treatments by lying on a PEMF mat while simultaneously using red light panels, making a full body “sandwich of wellness.” Sessions can last anywhere from 15-30 minutes 2-4 times a week. Prepare for optimum results by being well hydrated prior to treatment to support metabolic activity. Both treatments are considered safe and non-invasive.
