Extremely simple: more than 95% of users find Cefaly very simple to use.
A single button and one session that progresses automatically over the course of 20 minutes.
In practice, a Cefaly session comprises 6 stages
Stage 1 : Cleaning the skin
Carefully clean the skin using a “Prepare” towelette or thoroughly with water and mild soap.
This stage is essential for removing grease from the skin to ensure that the electrode adheres well.
Step 2 : Positioning the electrode
Use a mirror to position the electrode correctly.
The narrowest part is positioned downwards, and the lower edge is positioned on the horizontal line that joins the eyebrows.
Step 3 : Putting the Cefaly device on
Slip on the Cefaly device with the central part raised to the level of the forehead.
Then lower it in order for it to engage with the pin on the patch. The first few times you do this, do it in front of a mirror to familiarise yourself with the procedure.
Step 4 : Starting the session
Press the button to start the session.
A single press for programme 1 (attack treatment); you will hear a beep.
Two successive presses for programme 2 (prevention); you will hear two beeps.
Three successive presses for programme 3 (anti-stress); you will hear three beeps.
Step 5 : Adjusting the intensity
The intensity and tingling will increase. If it becomes a little too intense, press the button again to hold the intensity at the present level. It will not increase any further over the 20-minute course of treatment. But you should increase this intensity as you get more used to the device.
As you repeat your Cefaly sessions, you will progress to higher levels of intensity. You can always increase the intensity, which will make the sessions more effective.
Step 6 : During the session and once it’s over
During the twenty-minute session, relax or simply go about your business.
Once the session is finished, lift the central part of the device to detach it from the pin and take the Cefaly device off.
