STEP OUT OF THE NOISESome days, your mind keeps running long after the day has ended. The VNS Device is an invitation to pause the noise and make a little room for calm—a gentle, wearable experience to explore at your own pace.
The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve, carrying messages in both directions between the brainstem and many internal organs, including the heart and digestive system. It is one part of the body's network for settling and regulating everyday functions.
Non-invasive neck-based VNS devices use gentle electrical pulses through the skin to engage vagal pathways.
VNS stands for vagus nerve stimulation. At Solace, the VNS Device is a considered addition to your Signature Solace Bed Ritual—a quiet moment woven into the warmth and comfort of your curtained suite.
Deadlines, notifications and constant demands can leave little room to exhale. The VNS Device gives you a deliberate pause within the Bed Ritual, away from the noise. Research on neck-based stimulation has explored changes in the body's responses to stress; here, the experience begins with slowing down and noticing how you feel.
When the day has left you feeling switched on, rest can feel far away. Settle into the warmth of the bed, choose your eye mask and let this moment become part of a softer evening routine.
A quieter moment can make it easier to give one thing your attention again. Step back from the stream of demands, then return to the day at your own pace.
When you've been giving your energy to everyone and everything else, a gentle ritual can be restorative in itself. Let the pace soften, without another task to complete or outcome to chase. This time is yours to rest.
The vagus nerve helps carry messages between the brain and digestive organs, part of a wider mind–body conversation. Researchers have also studied digestive symptoms using ear-based stimulation, a different method from the neck-worn device at Solace. This session is an invitation to slow down, not a treatment for a digestive condition.
If pain, tightness or post-activity fatigue has been on your mind, warmth and quiet may feel welcome. The Bed Ritual offers room to settle while the VNS Device adds another considered layer. Research into pain uses particular devices and clinical protocols, so this is not a promise of pain relief or faster physical recovery.
The VNS Device is an add-on to the Bed Ritual, so follow the bed's swimwear or bra and knickers/underwear guidance. Choose a neckline that feels comfortable for positioning the wearable device.
No device or special equipment is needed; Solace provides the VNS Device for your bed ritual. Water or hot herbal tea and your choice of wraps are available.
Chilled water, hot herbal teas, cooling or warm face towels, eye protection, sleep masks, blankets and sheets are provided for your visit.
Please arrive with clean skin, free of creams, lotions, serums, oils and sunscreen. These can reflect or block light wavelengths and make your session less effective, so cleanse your skin completely before your treatment. If your visit includes facial LED or the sauna, please also arrive with a clean face and no makeup.
Please keep your underwear or bikini on at all times. A bra and knickers or a bikini works best. Choose lighter coverage only if it feels comfortable, while keeping undergarments on for hygiene. The treatment bed is sanitised after every guest.
Enter your curtained suite and undress, leaving your underwear or bikini on. Lie on the treatment bed and cover yourself with the sheet. A team member will softly whisper through the curtain to ask if you are ready. Once you say yes, they will enter and set up your treatment. They will return at the appropriate points in your session to adjust or change treatments, checking with you before entering each time.
