Cefaly II is a non-invasive device which treats and prevents migraines, allows to lower the dosage of oral medication and can be considered a first-line treatment for patients suffering from frequent migraine attacks.

Cefaly II helps to prevent migraines in patients with frequent episodic migraines. It fits in your pocket, is rechargeable, uses magnets to stay in place, and allows patients more control over the intensity of their daily session. The new pocket-sized Cefaly II device comes with a USB cable and a wall charger, allowing for charging at home, work, or elsewhere. It also includes a storage case and one electrode.

Cefaly II is an electronic, battery-powered, device that is placed on the forehead for 20-minutes once a day, using a self-adhesive electrode and a magnetic connection. The device sends tiny electrical impulses through the skin to desensitize the upper branches of the trigeminal nerve and reduce the frequency of migraine attacks. The new device allows patients to control their session by ramping up the intensity to their desired comfort level. Also, the introduction of a magnetic connection means the device will more quickly fall into place – and more securely maintain its connection – rather than be affixed to a fastener where a small movement could occasionally interrupt the session.

Characteristics:

The use of Cefaly II allows to significantly reduce the use of drugs, greatly improving the quality of life of patients.

How to use

Just press one button and the session starts automatically.
In practice, a Cefaly II session involves 6 stages:

1. Cleansing the skin - Carefully cleanse the skin on the forehead using soap and water. It will ensure that the electrode will effectively stick to the skin.

2. Positioning the electrode - Use a mirror to help you place the electrode on your forehead correctly. The narrowest part of the electrode should point down towards your nose. The lower, curved edge should be placed just above the top of the eyebrows.

3. Placing Cefaly - Hold the device and bring the rear side of the device with the two magnets against the central part of the electrode. The device is attracted by the two contact zones of the electrode and gets automatically into position.

4. Starting - Press the button to start the session: you will hear one beep.

5. Adjusting the intensity - The intensity and the tingling will increase. If it becomes a little too much, press the button again to stabilize the intensity. It will not increase again over the 20 minutes of treatment. But you should make progress wherever possible! You can adjust the intensity by pressing and holding the button. This can be repeated until the maximum intensity has been reached.

As you repeat your Cefaly sessions, your tolerance of the intensity will increase. You will constantly increase the intensity and the sessions will become more and more effective.

6. Duration and ending the session - During the twenty-minute Cefaly session, relax or carry out your normal activities. The session ends after twenty minutes and the device automatically switches off. Remove the device by pulling it forward.
