Question 1

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Red/Near Infrared and Pulsed EMF therapy have gained popularity for their potential benefits in reducing inflammation, aiding in recovery from injuries, enhancing skin health, and many other health benefits.

Several factors can affect how quickly you see results from both therapies:
 Individual Response:  Everyone's body responds differently to therapy, impacting the timeline for therapeutic or visible results.

Treatment Goals:  Whether you're targeting chronic or acute pain, skin issues, or muscle recovery will dictate how quickly you might notice results.  
Session Frequency:  Regular sessions tend to yield faster results compared to sporadic treatments.  For best results, we recommend having 2-3 sessions per week for 3-4 weeks.

Overall Health:  Your overall health and lifestyle, including diet and hydration, can influence the effectiveness of both therapies.

While some immediate benefits, such as relaxation, energy, and sleep, can be felt after your first therapy session, long-lasting results typically manifest within a few weeks of consistent treatment.  At Rouge Wave Therapy, we recommend a tailored approach to your therapy sessions, ensuring you achieve the best possible outcomes for your wellness goals.

Question 2

Can everyone use PEMF?

Accepted Answer

PEMF is an extremely safe therapy in most situations, however,  there are a few contraindications:

- Cardiac pacemakers or other electrical implants, if you have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or any type of similar implant do not use PEMF devices as it may cause interference with the internal mechanisms.
- Following an organ transplant 
- Within 4 days post surgery
- During pregnancy - the effects on the fetus are unknown
- Please refer to the contraindications page on this website.

Please Note:
PEMF therapy increases blood circulation and absorption of medications.

In all matters of personal health, and especially if you suspect that you suffer from clinical deficiencies, you should primarily consult a licensed, qualified healthcare professional prior to PEMF or Red Light Therapy.

Question 3

Can everyone use Red/Near InfraRed Light Therapy?

Accepted Answer

Red/Near InfraRed Light Therapy  is an extremely safe therapy in most situations, however,  there are a few contraindications:

Photosensitivity, hyperthyroidism, epilepsy, skin cancer, fever, and pregnancy are contraindications to RLT.  Please refer to the Contraindication Section on this website.

Question 4

Can the therapies trigger a healing reaction?

Accepted Answer

Both PEMF and Red Light therapy improve circulation thus increasing oxygen to the cells and also removing toxins from the cells.

The process of toxins being removed from cells may cause a Herxheimer reaction or a detoxifying effect.  The body can go through a short detoxifying phase, which is usually just a day or two of fatigue and cold-like symptoms.

Overall around 10% of our clients with chronic symptoms will see an initial healing reaction, especially if they have chronic inflammation or other health issues. If this happens, drink plenty of water, and get lots of rest and sleep.

Such phases are usually followed by increased energy and a sense of well-being. It is important to remember that these symptoms will not last forever and are typically a good sign as your body is slowly healing itself. The length of a “herx” will differ for every patient and is dependent on a variety of factors, including the length of infection and the number of bacteria in your body.

There are no other negative side effects documented from using PEMF , especially at the low intensity and frequency levels used by Rouge Wave Therapy devices.

They simply re-create the same type of energy, with the same un-adulterated frequencies, as would have been experienced by humans living in Earth’s magnetic field thousands of years ago. This energy is crucial to life on Earth — experiments have shown that the body starts to shut down when totally shielded from these therapeutic energies.

Question 5

What is the difference between PEMF and EMF fields?

Accepted Answer

You may have heard that constant exposure to strong EMF fields can damage our physical and mental health. What PEMF offers is the exact opposite of this, making it a partial antidote to EMF exposure.

The differences are:

PEMF is a sub-set of electro-magnetic fields, or EMF’s.
The main differences lie in their intended use, how they’re configured, and their effect on our bodies.
EMF fields, often called “electrosmog” are emitted by a vast range of modern appliances, either accidentally (all electrical appliances give out some radiation) or intentionally (radio-frequency fields are used as carriers for information, such as from satellites, mobile phone towers, wifi, etc).

The problem is that EMF regulatory safety levels are determined almost totally by whether they cause significant heating of our tissues (largely ignoring cellular damage from ultra high frequencies and biological resonance).
PEMF equipment is designed (in terms of waveforms, frequencies and intensities) with only one purpose: beneficially affecting our bodies

Question 6

How can PEMF help when we have so much electrosmog around us?

Accepted Answer

It’s true that we’re exposed to EMF’s all the time, every day, at levels depending on our overall lifestyles. It’s an unseen but easily measurable pollution, increasing every year. It’s recognised as a major health risk by the World Health Organisation and proven by countless mainstream research studies. And there’s little we can do about this outside our own homes.

Except for avoiding these fields when possible, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy is one of the few ways of addressing this increasing threat to our health and well being. Bathing the whole body in a PEMF field helps to re-set and energise all our cells, hopefully before we cross the threshold and become so EMF-sensitive that it becomes an uphill battle.

Given our current environment, every age group can benefit from daily PEMF sessions: from school children and office workers exposed to strong high-frequency WiFi fields all day, to older people trying to reduce age-related health issues.

If you would like to purchase a PEMF for your home please speak to one of the staff members at Rouge Wave Therapy and they will point you in the right direction.  Not all PEMF devices are created with quality materials and are properly tested for EMF emission and effectiveness.

Question 7

Can I use PEMF if I’m electro-sensitive?

Accepted Answer

As with any health condition, we have to point out that our systems are a means of supporting the body in restoring health, rather than a direct cure for the condition. Having said that, with electro-sensitivity, PEMF is directly addressing the main trigger for the condition.

PEMF can definitely help even those who have become EMF-hypersensitive. However, this is a very individual issue and depends on many factors. It becomes much more difficult to address it if you’ve reached a level of extreme sensitivity, a situation that serves as a lesson to us all.

Such people have major problems functioning in modern society: severe headaches occur whenever a mobile phone is used nearby, when they go into a coffee shop with WiFi, when they shop in a supermarket with overhead fluorescent lighting. Some would say they’re neurotic but the people we’ve met with these symptoms were certainly not and were certainly suffering.

If you’ve reached a state of electro hyper sensitivity, there’s a good chance that our technology can help but it depends on what stage you’ve reached and much depends on your patience and willingness to precisely follow our advice on how to use it.
