New home use device relieves pain without pills

More and more people are seeking pain relief that doesn’t involve taking pills. Now there’s a new topical device available: Alfa Plus by Solio, invented and manufactured in Israel. Alfa Plus is the world’s first radio frequency (RF) device for home use to receive FDA and CE approval for pain relief, says founder Shahak “Chuck” Cohen.

“Once we succeed, no doubt you’ll see more like it,” he tells ISRAEL21c. Cohen, a serial entrepreneur, explains that he was not satisfied with the effectiveness of pain-relief devices that use light or electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). “I decided to find something that really works. For two years I ran around to medical companies until I found the right thing,” says Cohen. That “right thing” is a combination of bipolar RF to increase blood circulation, dual-wavelength infrared technology (IR) to heat and ease skin pain and stiffness, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to relieve the skin. All of these are contained within the unit used externally by the consumer. DMT, the Herzliya-based privately funded company Cohen founded to commercialize the invention, developed Alfa Plus with fellow Israeli company Home Skinovations located in Yokne’am. Home Skinovations has an award-winning track record in professional beauty devices for home use.-- More...
