Safety & Set-up Information

​Is Bellabee safe to use?
It is absolutely safe. Because of the minute amount of electromagnetic power used it does not cause burn or electric fog, which can happen with high output machines. It’s also FDA, NASA, and Canada Health approved for specific conditions.


What is the frequency range used?
The frequency range is from 0.5 Hz to 140 Hz. This is also the range of natural brainwave frequencies. If the frequency range falls within the natural range of brain, it is readily accepted by it.


Are there any side effects?
Side effects of PEMF therapy are mild, temporary, and very few people report them. Generally they go away after a few sessions. They include mild discomfort, headache, nausea/vomiting, and itching at the site.


What should I do if side effects happen?
You can shorten the session time to 40 minutes (from the 60 minute default) or decrease the mobile device volume setting to 75% (from 100%). Doing this for first few sessions will usually counter the side effects.


What if the side effects do not subside?
Side effects may persist for people who are hypersensitive to electromagnetic waves. In these cases you can try other forms of treatment. There will always be a percentage of users who are sensitive to a treatment.


What are the contra indications for Bellabee use? 

• Having a metallic or electronic implantable device, like a pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, other metallic implants.
• Studies have not been done to see if it can be used safely for children.
• Studies have not been done to see if it can be used safely in pregnancy.
• If you are breastfeeding.
• Epilepsy or history of seizures.
• Bell’s palsy or other cranial nerves dysfunction.
• On parts of the body other than as directed.
• While driving, operating machinery, or doing other focused tasks.
• While in contact with water, like showering, bathing or swimming.
• If casing of the device is damaged.
• In the presence of strong electromagnetic fields.

How do I set-up the Bellabee device?
Initial set-up is easy:

• Download the Bellabee apps from Google Play or the Apple store.
• Connect the Bellabee headband to your mobile device earphone jack.
• Turn the mobile device volume setting to maximum.
• Put the Bellabee band around your head as instructed.
• Run the desired app program on the mobile device.

How do I know if the device is working?
Bellabee was designed to be completely non-intrusive so there is no light, sound, or vibration when it is in use. There are two ways to check if it is working. First, check the mobile device screen once you’ve activated the program. If the time is counting down, then it is working. You can also connect a headphone while the app is running. If it produces a clicking sound, the device is working.


What volume setting should I use for Bellabee?
The volume of device should be set to maximum while using Bellabee.


What is the duration of each session?
The average duration of one session is 60 minutes.


Can I increase or decrease the session duration?
Yes, it can be increased or decreased using the Bellabee app.


What is the maximum number of sessions at a given time?
This is variable. More than 2-3 sessions every 24 hours are not recommended. The total number of sessions can vary depending on the person, condition and response, but you can use it as often as needed while keeping in mind the above parameter.


How many sessions are required, on average, to see results?
Results can usually be seen after 5-40 sessions.


Approximately how many sessions are required in total?
This is variable and depends on the condition under consideration and the person. Most people need between 10-60 sessions.


Will my brain start using the healthier frequencies over time?
Yes. With regular use of the Bellabee, the user’s brain will gradually learn the healthier, more functional frequencies that Bellabee has trained it to use. This is why many users, who initially use Bellabee for help falling asleep, begin to naturally fall asleep at night. Because of Neuroplasticity, the effects are long-lasting so the user won’t need to use the device as often or, in certain cases, at all.
