transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

Service Description

The Flow tDCS device uses the neurons’ favourite tool of communication – electricity – to restore brain function in the weakened area. The device delivers a gentle electric current to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), which significantly increases the neurons’ ability to reach action potential. The extremely mild current of 2 mA does not force neurons to fire, but rather encourages them to do so. Over time, neurons in the targeted brain area are more likely to fire together and increase activity, thereby relieving depressive symptoms. The gentleness of this treatment ensures that it’s completely non-invasive and that side effects remain unusually rare and mild in comparison to other treatments. It also means that clients may need to wait 1-4 weeks to notice an improvement in their depression
