Elexoma Medic™ Frequently Asked Questions
In this post, I hope to resolve some of the questions that might come up about the Elexoma Medic™.
Remember that you need to speak to your own healthcare provider about the nuances to your personal journey. These are only general guidelines and guesses until you find what works for you.
This entire site isn’t meant to be a diagnostic tool or even the be all and end all of treatment, I happen to believe in this device for the alleviation and management of your physical well-being, but use your own discretion above all.
1. Can I get addicted to the treatments?
With the Elexoma Medic™, there is absolutely no risk of addiction. You could use our device multiple times daily without the risk of becoming dependent.
Of course, you wouldn’t want to pass up the opportunity to miss treatment.
2. Is there any support or guarantees?
We offer full in-house support on the Elexoma Medic™.
Fully believing in this product is what spurs us on to ensure that you get the most out of your device. Check out the specifications on our About page.
3. How long until I start to see an effect on depression?
If you are not using any anti-depressants, you can start to notice a difference in as little as a week.
In the case of supportive medication, the results could take up to a month to become apparent.
Additionally, coupling your treatments with a healthy lifestyle and overall good self-care habits will speed up overall recovery further.
4. When should I be treating with the Elexoma Medic ™?
The easiest for people with a busy schedule, is to treat in the mornings. Perhaps you pop it on on your commute to work, or while sitting at the breakfast table.
However, it is important to see how it would fit into your schedule.
One reason for having a treatment session at night, is that some people report feeling tired or slightly drowsy after a session. This calming effect is due to the ‘saturational’ effect on your cells and not a chemical effect.
Overall, it does not matter WHEN you treat yourself, as long as it fits in with your lifestyle.
You are absolutely able to continue working on your electronics while the device is in use, there is no interaction. We have even included the belt pouch standard with purchase, so you can carry it with you while going about your day.
5. How long until my sleep habits are improved?
As above, with a healthy lifestyle, your results will be sped up considerably. Adding good sleep hygiene will be a game changer.
However, using the Elexoma Medic™ on it’s own will depend on your specific journey. As a ball-park figure, we could estimate about 6 months.
Rule of thumb, is about a month of use for every year you have suffered with insomnia.
We’re in this for the long haul.
6. Will this be a lifelong commitment to prevent relapse?
The great news is that you can resolve the symptoms of depression is less than 6 months in some cases.
However, this newfound clarity should be used to explore all the possible physical, mental, and emotional causes of the depression in the first place. We are for lasting effects.
Fully believing in the long lasting effects of the Elexoma Medic™. If we do not remove the obstacles, they will just trip us again at a later stage.
With this in mind, to continue benefitting from the deep sleep, focused attention and better conflict resolution that regular microcurrent (CES) treatment provides, it is advised that you treat yourself at least three times a week for as long as you can.
7. How long until the Elexoma Medic™ fixes my headache?
Depending on the type, and cause of your headache, you should start noticing a change in the intensity and frequency of your headaches from the first treatment.
In some cases, headaches could diminish to a fraction of the amount and intensity, in other cases, it could go away completely.
It is important to troubleshoot the reasons for the headaches in the first place.
8. Can I use it with my medical support?
There is no known side-effects to using the Elexoma Medic™ in conjunction with your medications.
As a disclaimer, make sure to talk to us, or get the advice of your doctor in the case of having a pacemaker.
9. Can I use the Elexoma Medic™ with analgesics?
This device has no interaction with any analgesics. You will find that the need for them will diminish, and you might even be able to stop in time.
10. What intensity should I use?
The studies that were published were mainly done with intensities of 200 miliamps and under. Anything more than this would be able to be felt by the participants, hindering the results of the findings.
This means that there is a measurable result at very low intensity.
Rule of thumb, crank up the intensity until it is noticeable by a tingling sensation. Then leave it there at a comfortable level.
11. How safe is the Elexoma Medic™ for the treatment of headaches?
The number of people who have reported side effects, are under 3%. These side effects only range from drowsiness, to alertness.
Some cases of mild headache has been found, but this is very rare, making this device perfectly safe.
12. Will I be able to stop my antidepressants?
This should only be attempted in conjunction with your prescribing doctor.
It is possible to wean off of your medication as soon as your mood is stable. However, there’s a lot to consider if you want to do so without relapse.
13. How long will I have to use the Elexoma Medic™?
There are a lot of variables when it comes to treatment time. It depends mostly n the condition.
With this in mind, you require a minimum of 15 minutes a day. It might take a few days to become apparent. About 3 – 7 days.
14. What do I do if it doesn't relieve my headache?
If you ever get stuck on your Elexoma Medic™, don’t hesitate to contact us.
In the case of little to no relief, we would love to give you personalised recommendations, specific to your case.

15. Will the Elexoma Medic™ fry my brain?
Made to the highest Swiss safety standards, the output is around the same electrical current as your own body’s.
Even at maximum, the output is still well within the range of safe. In fact, most people don’t even feel the current during treatment.
16. What are the benefits?
You can read more on our blog about the health benefits of our device.
The benefits include:
- Chemical free and non-toxic (as a safer alternative to prescription support.)
- Cost-effective (ask us about our rental options. )
- Peace of mind (the highly professional, friendly and efficient team at Integrow Health (Pty)Ltd backs up the Elexoma Medic™.)
- Convenient, versatile and portable (powered by rechargeable batteries used in clinical, home, health-care, sports, and occupational medicine applications.)
- Performance maintained (the modulation technique application prevents the body cells from becoming used to long-term treatment and ensures that effective results are achieved even with long-term use.)
- Comfort (use in the comfort of your home.)
- Safety (minimal side effects.)
- Affordability (Over the period of a year or two, the options provided by Elexoma Medic™ cost significantly less than many prescriptions.)
17. How long should I treat myself?
As a rule of thumb, you can go ahead and accept the pre-set treatment times for each programme.
One treatment a day is more than enough in most cases.
To give you an idea of just how effective a treatment session is: some therapists using the Elexoma only give ONE half-hour treatment session a WEEK and they still report dramatic results.
You can use the Elexoma for longer, but it is better to give yourself multiple treatments during the day, rather than one single, long treatment. The reason for this is that a cell can only be stimulated so much and then no more. Anything beyond that is wasted effort.
Rather boost the cells periodically and then give them time to use that boost effectively instead of boosting them continually.
An exception to the above: If you are using the Elexoma to help you with studying, it is recommended to use CES at a low intensity (say, 100 milliamps) for a fairly long period (an hour or more) while you are studying. This will keep you focused and help you lay down fresh memories that are easy to recall later.
