PEMF triggers a 2.5–2.9x rise in anti-inflammatory enzyme signaling in skin and immune cells
PEMF treatment was followed by a 2.5- to 2.9-fold increase in heme oxygenase 1 mRNA in human dermal fibroblasts, epidermal keratinocytes, and mononuclear cells, peaking 1.5 hours after treatment, suggesting promotion of heme catabolism and anti-inflammatory signaling.
What this means for you
Heme oxygenase-1 is one of your body's key built-in responses to cellular stress — it helps break down inflammatory byproducts and calm overactive immune signaling. A meaningful rise in this enzyme activity, peaking about 90 minutes after a session, suggests your skin and immune cells are actively shifting toward a recovery and repair state.
