Headache Australia 7NEWS A Current Affair Today Tonight The Wall Street Journal WebMD

Migraine is not a headache. Treat it where it starts.

Most migraine options ask you to choose. Take something strong enough to work and wear the side effects, or take nothing and lose the day.

CEFALY does neither. During an attack the trigeminal nerve in your head and face becomes overactive, and that is what drives the pain. CEFALY sends gentle, precise impulses through a single electrode on your forehead to calm that nerve. No pills. No injections. No systemic side effects.

Two settings, one device

Treat the attack. Then work on the next one.

Press once for ACUTE and run a 60 minute session when an attack starts. Press twice for PREVENT and run 20 minutes daily, ideally in the evening, to work on reducing how often attacks come.

Same device. Same electrode. No appointment, no pharmacy, no waiting for something to kick in.

What it feels like

You are in control of the intensity, the whole way through.

The sensation ranges from a light, soothing vibration to a strong tingling. You choose where on that range you sit, and you can stabilise it at any point with one press.

Most people build up slowly over a few weeks. There is nothing to swallow and nothing to wear off.

Built for real days

Small enough to keep with you. Quiet enough to use anywhere.

Rechargeable, with a charging dock and a hard case. Reusable electrodes rather than a repeat prescription. Use it on the couch, at your desk between meetings, or in a dark room when that is the only option.

Not for use while sleeping, driving or operating machinery.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 170 Australian customers

Wish I had trialled this sooner. I have episodic migraines and have not had any since using Cefaly for prevention. I cannot believe this.

Simone R.
Verified buyer

Was sceptical and delayed purchasing because of cost, and had tried so many other things. Glad I eventually purchased as it did relieve my severe headache. Will endeavour to use daily for prevention.

Robyn B.
Verified buyer

Honestly, my Cefaly device has been life changing. I have avoided being bedridden for days on end. I am a month into having it, and after my last stint in hospital this has been the only thing that has given me relief.

Questions people ask before they buy

Will it hurt?
It should not. The sensation is new to most people, from a light vibration through to a strong tingling, and you control the intensity. Build up in small increments over a few weeks. If it feels too strong, one press stabilises the session.
How long does a session take?
ACUTE runs for one hour and is used during an attack. It can be repeated if needed. PREVENT runs for 20 minutes and is used daily, at any time, though evening is preferred.
Do I need a prescription?
No. CEFALY Enhanced is available without a prescription. It is indicated for adults 18 and over who have been diagnosed with migraine by a health professional.
Can I claim any of it back?
Often, yes. CEFALY is classed as a TENS machine, and many private health funds pay a rebate of up to 80% on TENS devices depending on your insurer and level of cover. See the rebates offered by the major Australian funds. We can provide an invoice stating it is a TENS machine. NDIS participants should ask their Case Manager, and Department of Veterans' Affairs support is available, both subject to eligibility and approval.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. Afterpay lets you split the cost into 4 interest free payments. Choose Afterpay at checkout. Approval and payment schedule are set by Afterpay, not by us.
What is in the box?
The CEFALY Enhanced device, 3 reusable electrodes, a resealable electrode storage bag, the instruction manual, a charging dock and USB cable, and a storage case.
What is your returns policy?
Most new, unopened items may be returned within 30 days. There is no money back trial for treatment results. The device carries a 2 year warranty.

Drug free migraine treatment and prevention, in one device.

Bonus 3 pack of reusable electrodes worth $55. Claim up to 80% back with private health insurance. Pay in 4 with Afterpay.

  • Emily CEFALY Testimonial

    I have suffered from migraines all my life, a good friend recommended Cefaly and I am so thankful. My migraines are now less intense and less frequent. Now when one comes along I just use Cefaly and carry on with my day as normal!

  • Gypsy CEFALY Testimonial

    Cefaly has saved my life. I was suffering so much with daily, intense migraine attacks. I could not even leave my room for days on end. Ever since my first use of Cefaly, I have not had one attack since. Its been about 6 years now if using Cefaly daily and I am migraine free.

    Gypsy

  • Natalie CEFALY Testimonial

    Pleasantly surprised at how effective this is. I use the attack mode most days and find it brings down my attack 1-2 on the pain scale. I then use the preventative mode each night before bed and have started to notice a decrease in the number of breakthrough attacks.

    Natalie

  • Sandra CEFALY Testimonial

    Highly recommend for anyone to try it as part of their toolbox in managing migraine. Cefaly had completely changed my life. I am now able to have control and stick to my commitments and even make plans! The pain reduction is amazing and my breakthrough attacks have reduced by 80%, couldn't be happier!

  • Simon CEFALY Testimonial

    I have always suffered with tension headaches for as long as I can remember. Cefaly has reduced them significantly from even coming on, and when they do just one treatment with Cefaly completely eradicates it. I was concerned about the price at first, but realised I have saved a lot of money after purchasing the Cefaly.

  • Tanisha CEFALY Testimonial

    Cefaly has really changed my life. I used to suffer from severe migraines but I’m so pleasantly surprised how much this device has helped me!! I’ve tried many different treatments but this has been the only one that has worked for me. I use it at the first sight of a headache and it works like magic every time. Highly recommend!

  • Natalie CEFALY Testimonial

    I use my Cefaly every night before going to sleep and it is a significant help in reducing the number of migraines and also helps me get to sleep. It's now part of my daily toolbox.
