Why does Pulsetto cost more than a basic TENS unit?
Unlike basic TENS units, Pulsetto is specifically designed for vagus nerve stimulation with targeted frequencies (from 4500Hz to 5200Hz) that activate different neural pathways for specific outcomes. Each program (Stress, Anxiety, Sleep, Pain, Burnout) uses precise frequencies scientifically linked to different neural mechanisms. Regular TENS units simply can't deliver this level of customization for nervous system regulation.
How long does Pulsetto last compared to other devices?
Pulsetto is designed for long-term use with a rechargeable battery that lasts approximately one week with daily use. Unlike some competitors that are built for only about 350 uses before disposal, Pulsetto can be used indefinitely with proper care. This makes it not only more cost-effective long-term but also more environmentally friendly.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! We offer flexible payment options through Shop Pay, allowing you to split your payment into 4 interest-free installments. This makes Pulsetto more accessible while still providing the full benefits immediately.
Is a subscription required to use Pulsetto?
No, a subscription is NOT required to use Pulsetto. Your device comes with 5 core programs (Stress, Anxiety, Sleep, Pain, and Burnout) that are available forever with no additional cost. The optional Premium subscription simply adds extra features and programs for those who want them.
Can I cancel the Premium subscription at any time?
Yes, the Premium subscription can be canceled at any time. You'll still retain full access to the 5 core programs and basic functionality that came with your device.
What's included in the free plan vs. the Premium subscription?
Free (included with purchase):
- 5 vagus nerve stimulation programs
- Basic breathing exercises
- Device control functionality
- Session tracking
Premium (optional):
- 3 additional stimulation programs
- 54 breathing exercises
- Sleep and heart insights when connected with Oura Ring or Apple Watch
- 11 guided meditations
- 1200+ positive affirmations
How do I know Pulsetto actually works?
Pulsetto's effectiveness is supported by:
- Scientific research: Vagus nerve stimulation has been studied extensively, with research showing its benefits for stress reduction, anxiety management, sleep improvement, and pain relief.
- Specific frequencies: Each program uses scientifically validated frequencies that target different neural pathways (detailed in our research section).
- User testimonials: Our Trustpilot reviews show real users experiencing significant benefits, with many reporting improved sleep, reduced anxiety, and better stress management.
- 30-day guarantee: We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can try Pulsetto risk-free.
Is this just a placebo effect?
No. While positive expectations can enhance any wellness approach, Pulsetto's effects go beyond placebo. Vagus nerve stimulation has measurable physiological effects on heart rate variability (HRV), stress hormone levels, and the parasympathetic nervous system. Users report objective improvements like better sleep scores on tracking devices and reduced anxiety episodes. The science behind VNS is well-established, with applications ranging from FDA-approved treatments for epilepsy to emerging therapies for inflammation and stress-related conditions.
How quickly will I see results?
Many users report feeling immediate calming effects during their first session. However, for lasting benefits:
- Immediate effects: Most users feel calmer after a single 4-6 minute session
- Short-term benefits: Improved sleep and reduced stress often appear within the first week
- Long-term benefits: Regular use (daily for 2-3 weeks) creates more consistent improvements in stress resilience, sleep quality, and nervous system regulation
How does Pulsetto compare to other VNS devices?
Hands-free dual stimulation: Pulsetto is the only VNS device that simultaneously stimulates both sides of the vagus nerve hands-free, while competitors either require manually holding the device on each side for just 2 minutes at a time
Adjustable size: Accommodates different neck sizes for optimal comfort and effectiveness
Longer sessions: Offers 3-20 minute sessions compared to competitors' fixed 2-minute limits
Rechargeable: Unlike disposable competitors, Pulsetto is rechargeable and built for years of use
App-controlled: Easy intensity adjustment and program selection versus manual-only competitors
How do I use Pulsetto?
Using Pulsetto is simple:
- Apply a small amount of conductive gel to the metal contacts
- Place the device around your neck with the contacts positioned on either side
- Connect to the app and select your desired program
- Adjust intensity to a comfortable level (you should feel a gentle tingling)
- Relax while the session runs (typically 4-6 minutes)
Does Pulsetto hurt?
No. Most users find the sensation to be a gentle tingly feeling. You can adjust the setting to your comfort level.
Do I need to use the conductive gel?
Yes, the conductive gel is essential for effective nerve stimulation. The gel ensures proper electrical contact between the device and your skin, allowing the precise frequencies to reach the vagus nerve. One 60g tube (included with purchase) lasts approximately one month with daily use.
Will Pulsetto work with my phone?
Yes, the Pulsetto app is compatible with both iOs and Android devices.
The app connects via Bluetooth and allows you to control the device, select programs, and track your sessions.
What if I have a small neck?
Pulsetto features an adjustable design that can be customized to fit different neck sizes. The flexible band can be adjusted to ensure proper contact with the vagus nerve regardless of your neck size.
Is Pulsetto safe?
Yes, Pulsetto is completely safe for most users. It delivers gentle electrical impulses at specific frequencies designed to stimulate the vagus nerve without causing harm. The device is FCC certified, ensuring it meets strict safety standards. The intensity is also adjustable, allowing you to find a comfortable level.
Are there any side effects?
Most users experience no side effects. A small percentage may feel mild temporary sensations like:
- Gentle tingling during use (normal and adjustable)
- Slight skin sensitivity where the contacts touch (usually resolves quickly)
- Mild relaxation or drowsiness (particularly with the Sleep program)
Who should not use Pulsetto?
While Pulsetto is safe for most people, it's not recommended for:
- Pregnant women
- People with pacemakers or implanted electronic devices
- Those with epilepsy or seizure disorders
- Individuals with cardiovascular conditions (consult your doctor first)
- Anyone with skin conditions in the neck area where the device is applied
Has Pulsetto been medically tested?
Pulsetto uses transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) technology, which has been studied extensively in scientific literature.
While Pulsetto itself is not a medical device and doesn't make medical claims, the vagus nerve stimulation technology it employs has been researched for its effects on stress, anxiety, sleep, and nervous system regulation. All our program frequencies are based on scientific research.
How long does shipping take?
Standard shipping typically takes 7-14 business days within the United States.
