Product Safety

At BEMER, user safety is always our top priority. Our devices generate a low-frequency electromagnetic signal that stimulates the muscles, causing them to contract and thus increasing local and temporary circulation. BEMER products are manufactured according to the latest technologies and are completely safe to use. Nevertheless, dangers can be caused by this device, especially if the device is used for a purpose other than the intended uses. Make sure you have fully read and understood the user manual and contact us if you have any questions.

The BEMER device is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. If you have any questions or doubts, please consult your doctor to determine if the use of the BEMER device is safe for you.
