What Is PEMF Therapy?
Overview of the Treatment
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy stimulates the healing of skin tissues using low-frequency electromagnetic fields. Precise pulses trigger a regenerative effect on body cells that can help with pain management and stimulate hair growth. PEMF can encourage regrowth by increasing the flow of blood to the head so that cells activate.
How it Works?
PEMF therapy can be done at home or in a clinic in just a few simple steps with a portable device. Learn more.
Who It’s For?
The treatment works for a wide range of people in the early stages of hair thinning, but it is not recommended if you have a pacemaker or implanted electronic device or if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. Learn more.

If you want to manage your treatment at home, you can order a wearable device that can be used in between clinical sessions.
Step 2
Takes 5 min
Place on Your Head
The device is placed on the head to target the affected balding or thinning area of the scalp.
Step 3
Takes 15 min
Repeat Sessions
Sessions are needed once or twice a week to begin with at a clinic. At home, it’s a daily treatment.
Step 4
Takes 3 - 5 min
Combine with Other Treatments
For improved results, look at combining the treatment with topical solutions or LLLT.
Step 5
Takes 5 min
Maintain Results
Maintenance sessions are needed to keep up results, but frequency will decrease over time after 3-6 months.
Step 6
Takes 15 min

Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field (PEMF) therapy is a treatment that uses low-frequency electromagnetic fields to help heal skin tissue. This has a range of applications, from helping your body heal faster to promoting hair growth.
There are no known side effects of wearing a PEMF device, but never continue wearing one if you start to experience pain or discomfort in your scalp. If you are at a PEMF clinic, the clinician will tell you how often you will need to attend for treatment. If you have a device to use at home, use the instructions provided for maximum usage.
A healthy lifestyle may help to encourage hair growth while using a PEMF device. Make sure you’re getting enough magnesium from leafy vegetables and whole grains, having a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and exercising well to get the most out of your treatment.
PEMF devices are pain-free, and you won’t typically feel anything during a session. Some patients say that they feel relaxed while wearing a PEMF device. Magnets in the device will let you know if the device is working or not.
The frequencies used in PEMF are much lower compared to electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Limited amounts of pulsed electromagnetic energy (1 to 30 Hz) are used in therapy and are not strong nor induce the lethal radiation EMFs produce at lower wavelengths.
PEMF therapy promotes blood flow to the scalp by inducing cell activity. This enhances the amount of oxygen and nutrients that will be able to reach your hair follicles. If they are nourished adequately, your hair follicles will grow stronger and healthier.
When you are interested in going and having a PEMF treatment done at a clinic, ensure that they have experience using the equipment. Before and after pictures and patient reviews are good ways for you to see the type of result you will likely experience and how much people enjoyed it.
When it comes to home treatments, you have to find a manufacturer that has good reviews and discuss with your doctor first before you start the treatment. Home therapy can be successful in patients who are at the beginning stages of hair loss and have been consistent with using a device daily.
