LENS-Low Energy Neurofeedback System
LENS is a non-invasive, passive, therapeutic approach that uses low-intensity electromagnetic fields to help the brain reset, break out of "neural gridlock," and improve self-regulation. It acts faster than traditional neurofeedback, typically requiring only 9–15 sessions to address conditions like anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, insomnia, and brain injuries by allowing the brain to reorganize itself.
​WHAT TO EXPECT
LENS is very safe and medication-free. During the session a therapist attaches sensors to the client’s head in order to record their brainwaves (EEG waves). For only a few seconds, LENS mirrors back the brain’s faint electromagnetic impulses. This brain-mirroring allows dysfunctional patterns in the brain to reorganize and optimize functions. The information signal is far weaker than the electromagnetic field around a wrist watch, yet it typically triggers the brain to make profound, lasting changes.
​
In the first session, 86%, notice improvements and nearly every client experiences improvement by the third session. Depending on the symptoms and disorder, a typical course of treatment is between 15 and 20 sessions with each session lasting between 15-30 minutes. Positive changes endure months and even years after the final session. Improvements with autism, recovery from stroke or traumatic brain injuries, or genetic predisposed conditions generally take longer for resolution of symptoms.

HOW IS LENS DIFFERENT?
LENS, utilizes a system based upon resetting the brain’s own neural-connectivity, allowing the brain to communicate better with itself, and in doing so, optimize it’s own function.
​
IS LENS SAFE?
LENS neurofeedback is a non-invasive treatment during which people often report feeling comfortable and calm. In over a million sessions, there have been no significant side effects. Because the brain responds to LENS by reorganizing itself, there may be a new awareness of existing symptoms, such as feeling fatigued, wired, or light-headed. These short-term feelings tend to correct themselves quickly. It is not necessary to be off medications, drugs, or alcohol before LENS treatment. Please communicate with your prescribing physician about your changing needs for medication. Many people report decreasing their use of medication, and feeling less interested in recreational drugs and alcohol after treatment with LENS.
