Valkee substitutes the mood-elevating effects of the sun, by channeling bright light directly to photosensitive regions of the brain through the ear canal. That’s why Valkee increases energy, and can act as a preventative or treatment of mood swings.
Valkee has CE Class II(a) medical device certification and is clinically tested for effectiveness against Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
<b>Individual optimization of treatment dosage</b>
Although the factory settings are ideal for most Valkee users, the treatment settings are adjustable online simply with your browser for PC and Mac. Just locate My Valkee from the top navigation bar of these web pages, register, and follow the instructions. The adjustments are easy to make, and work for all Valkee models. Exact optimal dose is individual to every user, and depends also on the time of the day that the Valkee headset is used. The optimal time and duration of use are easily established by experimenting during the first week of treatment. For most people the factory settings and treatment during the first waking hour are optimal against SAD.
