How it works

How can I tell if the product is working?

If the green indicator light AND at least one yellow light are illuminated, the product is delivering stimulation. If there is no yellow light illuminated, the sponges may not be sufficiently moist, or the batteries may need to be replaced.

What does the product feel like?

Many customers do not feel the product at all, while some may feel a mild tingling at the sponge contact sites.

How does the product help me feel better?

The product uses a technology called Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS), which modulates brain function and cognitive processes by entraining neural oscillations and inducing long-term synaptic plasticity.

Are there side effects?

Less than 1% of patients report a mild, temporary headache or dizziness when using the product.

Although not a side effect, improper use of the product may result in minor skin irritation beneath the electrode sites - this can occur if the sponges are not thoroughly wet before use or if the scalp and/or hair are not clean. Please watch the instructional video and read the instruction manual thoroughly before using the product. 

The product has been on the market for decades without any reports of long-term negative effects. Many customers have used the device for years.
