Correct Positioning and Use of the Titan-iR™ Device
Titan-iR™ optimal positioning is higher on the forehead, closer to the targeted treatment area. Place one or two fingers between the users’ eyebrow and the bottom of the device for proper placement of the treatment window. Users who place the device too low on the forehead will have a higher chance of side effects.
The Titan-iR™ has a distinct heat profile which is calming for most users. If the device gets too warm, please discontinue for several minutes, and replace the device. Using the device on a lower power level or with a pulsing frequency can minimize the heat profile. The body’s temperature-mitigating mechanism works better when the device is placed correctly on the user’s forehead.
Treatment Protocol
What to expect while using Transcranial Photobiomodulation?
Medify recommends that the first three uses are with the Power 5 Mobile Application Mode on the lowest level. If the mobile application is not available, please use the integrated Alpha Pulse for no longer than 5 to 7 minutes for first three uses. A shorter initial use allows users to acclimate to the Titan-iR™ device, which will minimize transient headaches and other side effects.
The average Titan-iR™ session lasts 15 minutes. Typical brain health and mental wellness management treatment average three times per week. After treatment, most users report increased energy, mental acuity, and stress management levels.
Brain Health and Mental Wellness Optimization
Daily Usage: 1-2 times per day, recommended in the morning and/or early afternoon
Use of device 4 hours before bedtime is not recommended, as the user’s sleep may be disrupted
Weekly Duration: Minimum of 3 days per week (Ideally with a break between days)
Initial Treatment Phase: Average of 15 total treatments
Long-Term Usage: Once per week or up to a maximum of five days per week. The average is three days
Cognitive Performance Optimization
Titan-iR™ may be used for a temporary increase in cognitive performance or mental acuity. Typical use is 15 to 30 minutes before activity or at a specific time in the day when an increase in cognitive performance or mental acuity is needed. Please note: Use of Titan-iR™ at higher power levels, or longer than a single treatment, can increase side effects like transient headaches.
