Expert tips for using Lutea™

To ensure the best results and safety when using Lutea™, it's important to follow the instructions for use (IFU). While they are available for you at any time, here is a compiled quick overview of seven essential tips from experts to help you make the most of your Lutea™ experience:

• Review setup instructions: First things first, before starting your first session with Lutea™, carefully read and understand the setup instructions provided with your Lutea™ device. Following the instructions precisely will help ensure the most effective treatment results.
• Hydrate sponges appropriately: Ensure that the sponges are sufficiently hydrated with saline solution, but avoid oversoaking them. Well-hydrated sponges facilitate the efficient delivery of electrical pulses from Lutea™ to your scalp, enabling neuroplasticity to commence rewiring neuronal pathways and alleviating menstrual pain while improving mood.
• Position Lutea™ correctly: Position Lutea™ snugly on your head, akin to donning headphones. Adjusting your hair may help. Angle the electrodes slightly forward, targeting the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and primary motor cortex (M1), respectively associated with mood regulation and pain perception. You may need to adjust and gently press Lutea™ on your head for an optimal fit.
• Readjust Lutea™: Throughout the stimulation, consider readjusting Lutea™ to alleviate pressure points on your scalp, similar to adjusting headphones for comfort. A slight wiggle back and forth may provide relief from any discomfort.
• Engage in gentle activities: While using Lutea™, engage in daily activities such as reading, walking, or working on your computer. Avoid rigorous activities like running or dancing to prevent dislodging the device. Gentle movements are acceptable as long as the device remains secure during operation.
• Welcome tiny tingling sensations: As Lutea™ activates neuroplasticity, you may experience tingling or itching on your scalp, indicating the therapy is effective. These sensations, known as paraesthesia, typically occur beneath the electrode sites and are a normal part of treatment. They are transient and usually subside within an hour. If discomfort persists or worsens, cease use and consult your healthcare professional.
• Maintain consistency: Consistency is key to MNT Lutea™ therapy's effectiveness. The recommended regimen requires regular use of Lutea™, five sessions during your luteal phase just before the menstruation starts. Be patient and continue Lutea™ use with each new cycle. Our application will be here to remind you when your next session is about to start.

By following these expert tips and maintaining consistency with Lutea™ therapy, you can harness its full potential for managing menstrual symptoms and making you feel fully yourself and in charge of your cycle. Remember to prioritise safety and consult your healthcare professional if you have any concerns or experience unusual or severe side effects during treatment.
