Frequently Asked Questions
Avazzia BEST™
What is Avazzia BEST™ used for?
The Avazzia Bio-Electric Stimulation Technology (BEST™) devices are USFDA- cleared non-invasive, non-pharmacological neuromodulation devices for mitigating pain. These devices were developed to provide pain relief without surgery and without medication. There are no known side effects. The technology does not impact efficacy of other medicine or injections received for pain management.
What are the benefits of Avazzia BEST™ devices?
Patients have used Avazzia BEST™ for the following reasons:
- Alleviate pain either before or after surgery
- When traditional remedies for pain (drugs, surgery, physical therapy) are not helping or not helping enough
- Long-term pain (from sports injuries, trauma such as car accidents or work-related pain such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) that is hard to eliminate
- Pain related to other health conditions such as diabetic neuropathy
- Wounds (Diabetic Wound, Venous Ulcer, Pressure Ulcer)
- To improve blood circulation
- Repair & regenerate Tissue and Nerve
Does it work?
- Many people report impressive results: significant pain reduction, and frequently, complete elimination of pain and accelerated wound healing.
- Healthcare practitioners, including medical doctors, dentists, chiropractors, physical therapists and athletic trainers use Avazzia BEST™ units for their own pain.
- A growing body of research on microcurrents shows that electro-stimulation effectively manages pain which can bring relief to related issues and thus, speed healing.
- Electro-stimulation is used by NASA, the U.S. military and hospitals as well as wound clinics, rehab clinics, physical therapists and athletic trainers to improve outcomes after injury and surgery.
What is electro-stimulation?
Electro-stimulation is the application of electrical impulses to the body. There are many types of electro-stimulation and several USFDA classifications, such as:
- Heart stimulator (pacemakers)
- Implantable stimulators (frequently used for pain)
- Bone growth stimulators
- Transcranial stimulators
- Electrical muscle stimulators
- Transcutaneous (skin) electro-neurological stimulators (TENS): Avazzia BESTTM falls into this category, and unlike many in this category, also falls into both subcategories of microcurrent and interferential.
How is Avazzia BEST™ different from other, less-expensive TENS units in the market?
Technology
- Microcurrent – 1000 times less current than most stimulators that use millicurrent
- Pulsed High Voltage – 10 times more voltage (400Volts versus 40 Volts)
Pulsed Voltage
- Low duty cycle – not constant voltage
- Signal goes deeper than the skin with Avazzia BESTTM
- Unique wave form
- Wire-free
- Mobile, portable
- Reaction Technology
- There is some research that suggests standard TENs reduces cellular ATP while microcurrent increases it
Clinical Benefits
- Relief up to 24 hours after first treatment and cumulative results with continued use
- Reduce or eliminate accommodation
- Evidence-based
- Non-addictive
- Easy to use for patient compliance
- Easy for providers to train patient
- Identify optimal areas on the patient for treatment
- Safe to use
- Non-invasive
Electrodes are medical-grade stainless-steel
What are the reaction data readings, IR, OR, CIR, COR, D and Z?
The Pro-Sport™ models give a numeric reading of tissue reaction response data. Click here for more information about IR, OR, D and Z.
How often may I use the device to treat my condition?
20-30 minutes per session 2 – 3 sessions per day.
May I use this in addition to other drugs or after physical therapy sessions?
Yes. Make sure that your doctor or physiotherapist knows that you are using Avazzia BEST™ device.
How do I use it?
- Slide switch at the side of device upwards to ON
- Place electrodes (either the metal plate at the back of the device or through an accessory) on the skin
- Press the MODE button on the front display to select a mode.
- Apply microcurrent therapy.
A User Guide will be provided with the purchase of devices.
Sometimes it seems like I need less power to feel the tingling of the Avazzia BEST™ unit than others. Is this possible?
Yes. A number of conditions impact your body’s sensitivity to the electro-stimulation from Avazzia BEST’s microcurrent. These can include, but are not limited to:
- body’s hydration level
- level of fatigue
- where you place the electrodes
- recent exercise or strenuous physical activity
- recent bathing or showering
- alcohol or caffeine consumption
- recent sun exposure and more.
Also, after several applications you may notice that the tissue’s sensitivity to electro-stimulation has changed.
It is important to drink plenty of water each day, not just on the days of treatment.
I feel tingling in only one of the two pads. Is one broken?
No. If you feel tingling in one pad, that indicates the unit’s power is working. Body tissue that is dry, cold, stressed, injured or receiving poor blood flow may not be as sensitive. Eventually, the sensation may be felt in the second pad as well. This may take more than one application. There is nothing wrong with feeling the sensation in only one pad.
Can I put electrode pads on while I nap or sleep and run the Avazzia BEST™ unit then?
No. It is against protocol to use the Avazzia BEST™ unit “while sleeping.” That includes any time the person using the unit is unaware of its functionality.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent
Are Avazzia BEST™ modes frequency specific?
Yes.
Do Avazzia BEST™ devices use sine waves?
Yes. Avazzia BEST™ devices generate a high-voltage, pulsed current (HVPC), damped, biphasic, asymmetric sinusoidal waveform that produces a microcurrent output.
How do you program a VAZ mode? Is it complicated?
Custom-programmable VAZ mode is available in the Pro-Sport™ III device. It is not difficult to use (and save) a preferred frequency. This example gives step-by-step instructions to save desired settings:
- To start, turn on device: Press key to navigate to AVA mode. Press Select to select AVA mode.
- Set frequency at 152 Hz: Press key to FREQUENCY. Press key to 152.0.
- Select pulse value of 3: Press key to PULSES. Press key to value of 3. (This sets 3 pulses per packet.)
- Select Z-value to 15: Press key to Z_VALUE. Press key to value of 015.
- Select damping value of 2: Press key to DAMPING. Press key to value of 2.
- Select Modulation of 3:1: Press key to MOD. Press key to 3:1
- To save this program in VAZ 2: Press key to SAVE VAZ 1. Press key to SAVE VAZ 2. Press Select.
This is now saved as the VAZ 2 mode. This can be recalled by going to VAZ 2 and pressing Select (the centre button).
This VAZ 2 mode also can be reprogrammed with different settings, in effect “erasing” the first set of characteristics. Note that programming happens in the AVA mode, although AVA will not save those settings.
Buying Avazzia BEST™ Products
Where can I purchase an Avazzia BEST™ device?

Interest-free Instalment payment is available for Malaysian credit cards.
May I rent a unit to try it out?
At this time, AMS does not have a rental program.
Maintenance
How do I clean the device?
With alcohol swab
How often do I need to change batteries?
It depends upon many factors:
- how often you use your unit
- how long you use your unit
- battery quality
- device settings
Higher intensity settings and frequencies will use up more battery capacity.
In a professional setting, 2-3 days is an average life-span for the two AA batteries that power the BEST devices.
For home units, a set of high-quality batteries could last several weeks.
