Paragon · Device + optional TCM
Seated, non-invasive magnetic muscle activation in about 10 minutes at Paragon. Optional TCM when patterns need more than the device alone.
In brief
BIXEPS at PULSE is a seated, non-invasive muscle-activation session using low-energy magnetic fields on the upper thigh for about 10 minutes at our Paragon clinic. The technology was co-developed at the National University of Singapore and ETH Zurich. You book supervised sessions here; we do not sell home machines. Optional TCM consultation can sit beside the device course when useful.
What it is
BIXEPS uses patented Muscle Magnetic Mitohormesis (MitoCharge): a gentle electromagnetic field intended to support mitochondrial activity in muscle and myokine signalling that may circulate more widely than the treated leg.
QuantumTX, a spinoff from NUS research, commercialised the device for general wellbeing and active ageing support. At PULSE it sits inside a TCM clinic with screening before first use and optional physician assessment. Device literature frames it as support for wellbeing and an active lifestyle, not a substitute for medical treatment of disease. Progress usually needs a multi-week course, not a one-off visit. For packaged booking, audience pathways, and full pricing, see our Muscle Recovery with BIXEPS programme.
How BIXEPS works
How it works
Classical TCM framing and what device literature describes physiologically, side by side.
A TCM perspective
When qi and Blood are deficient or sluggish, legs can feel heavy and recovery between movement slows. BIXEPS does not replace pulse, tongue, or acupuncture; it can support activation and comfort while your physician names the wider pattern when you add a consult.
A clinical perspective
Low-energy electromagnetic pulses aim to activate muscle mitochondria in a way that echoes some cellular responses of exercise. Activated muscle may release myokines into circulation, which device literature links to wider metabolic and recovery signalling. Sessions are seated and non-invasive.
A plain summary from published materials and brochures, not a promise of outcome for every person.
The device
During use, BIXEPS generates electromagnetic fields intended to activate muscle mitochondria. Activated muscle may release myokines into circulation, which is one reason users sometimes notice effects beyond the treated leg.
Fields are low-energy and non-ionising relative to clinical MRI equipment. Clothing and shoes do not block the field. Screening comes first. About 10 minutes is the standard session window. Available at Paragon only.
Common concerns
BIXEPS is often booked for mobility, training turnaround, or joint comfort goals after screening. Physicians and the device team treat people, not only labels. The groups below are common entry points and not exhaustive.
Acute fractures, red-flag neurological signs, or injuries needing urgent orthopaedic care should be assessed medically first. Our Pain & Injury programme remains the primary pathway for physician-led injury plans.
* Results vary with condition, lifestyle, and course length. A run of about 10 to 12 weekly sessions is commonly discussed before judging meaningful change.
Pathways
When you want a packaged device course with optional TCM, start with the Muscle Recovery programme. Use Pain & Injury when injury-led physician care is the main goal.
What sits beside BIXEPS
BIXEPS can run alone after screening. When you add a physician consult, acupuncture, cupping, or herbs may join based on your assessment.
About 10 minutes with one upper thigh in the device (both legs in one visit when screening allows). Supports activation and recovery comfort over a weekly course at Paragon only.
Fine needles after consultation when your physician wants to ease stagnation or support local circulation beside BIXEPS.
Acupuncture treatmentGentle suction when your pattern calls for it after assessment.
Cupping treatmentSafety-regulated formulas when your physician builds them into recovery between visits.
Chinese herbal medicineBook device sessions alone, or pair with a consult so pattern care and activation sit in one plan.

BIXEPS is a seated thigh activation device for muscle energetics and recovery support. SIS is a physician-indicated, non-contact high-intensity electromagnetic adjunct used within TCM pain plans across selected clinics. Different devices, different visit shapes.

Acute injury, complex pain, or physician-led bodywork plans belong on the Pain & Injury pathway first. BIXEPS can complement recovery when screening shows it fits.
Your visit
Screening first. Session count and optional TCM are confirmed after your history is clear.
Short registration and safety screen before first use. Share implants, recent surgery, and current injuries.
Sit with one upper thigh in the device (both legs when screening allows). Most people feel little, warmth, tingling, or nothing at all.
When booked, a physician assesses pulse, tongue, and goals (about 30 to 45 minutes). Acupuncture, cupping, or herbs may be recommended as add-ons.
Meaningful change is usually discussed over a multi-week weekly course, not from one visit. Package details sit on the programme page.
Comfort & safety
BIXEPS uses low-frequency, low-energy electromagnetic fields. It is not appropriate for everyone. Tell us about implanted devices before booking.
Screening and optional physician assessment stay close to the session.
You know where to book. BIXEPS is currently only at our Paragon clinic.
We do not sell one-off sessions as a miracle. Packages match multi-week device use.
TCM can name patterns while BIXEPS supports activation and recovery comfort.

BIXEPS is useful when someone needs a low-effort activation option, especially seniors restarting movement or athletes stacking recovery tools. I still want a clear picture of injury history and implants before the first session.
When patients book TCM beside BIXEPS, I look at qi and Blood flow, joint comfort, and training load together. The device does not replace pulse, tongue, and a proper consult when patterns are complex.
Charges
BIXEPS device sessions are offered as a 10+1 package at $500 (excluding GST). TCM physician consultation is $40–80 when booked separately. Single device sessions are not offered. Full tier detail and booking CTAs sit on the Muscle Recovery programme.

Device sessions are currently only at PULSE TCM Paragon, 290 Orchard Road #05-49, near Orchard and Somerset MRT. Open daily 11am to 8pm. Dedicated MitoCharge muscle-health centres also operate elsewhere in Singapore; at PULSE, BIXEPS sits inside our TCM clinic with optional physician consult.
FAQs
What it is, where to book in Singapore, cost, safety, and how it sits beside SIS and our programme pathway.
BIXEPS is a seated muscle-activation device using Muscle Magnetic Mitohormesis: low-energy magnetic fields on the upper thigh for about 10 minutes. At PULSE you book supervised sessions at our Paragon TCM clinic, with optional physician-led TCM when useful.
At PULSE, BIXEPS is only at Paragon (290 Orchard Road #05-49, near Orchard and Somerset MRT). Dedicated MitoCharge muscle-health centres also operate at other Singapore locations. We do not sell home devices.

No. PULSE offers supervised clinic sessions at Paragon, not retail devices for home use. Ask about the packaged course when you book.
Device literature describes low-frequency, low-energy fields within international safety guidance for this class of equipment. We screen before first use. Do not use BIXEPS with active pacemakers or defibrillators. Tell us about all implants.
Some people notice slight warmth, tingling, cooling, or numbness; many feel nothing during the 10 minutes. Tell staff if anything feels painful or unexpected.
No. The fields are designed to reach muscle through clothing and shoes. We still confirm comfort and screening details on the day.
One upper thigh per session is standard because it maximises myokine signalling per visit. When screening allows, both legs in one visit may be offered. Frailer users often start with single-leg sessions.
A weekly course of about 10 to 12 sessions is commonly discussed before judging meaningful change. Frequency is confirmed after screening and your goals.
No. Exercise trains the heart, circulation, mood, and many systems BIXEPS does not replace. We use the device to support people who need help starting or recovering between active sessions.
The aim is muscle energetics and endurance-style support, not bodybuilding hypertrophy. Device literature discusses functional gains that may not show as bulky muscle.
Yes, when screening shows it fits. BIXEPS complements physiotherapy, training, and physician-led TCM. It does not replace urgent injury care.
