The Science Of Brainwave Entrainment
The ScienceOf BrainwaveEntrainment
Entrainment is a process where one rhythmic cycle influences and ultimately locks into phase with another rhythm.
Think of two pendulums on a shared surface eventually swinging in unison. Isochronic beats change your brainwaves to a desired state.
Our music is overlaid with isochronic beats (specific pulses of sound) that use auditory stimulation to induce brainwave entrainment and change their frequencies.

Alpha and Theta Waves
Alpha and Theta Waves
Alpha and theta waves promote relaxation and calmness, guiding you to a state of deep relaxation, enhanced mood, and reduced stress
Think of it as a spa day—but for your brain. Immersive sound healing uses the power of sound frequencies to influence your mind and body. Our treatment rooms feature an 11-speaker surround sound system that fully envelopes you in a rich, soothing soundscape—the perfect setting to unwind, reset, and recharge from that NYC chaos. At the core of the experience are Isochronic beats—precision-tuned, rhythmic sound pulses that guide your brainwaves into different states: Alpha/Theta (Deep relaxation & stress relief), Beta (Enhanced focus & alertness), Delta (Restorative sleep & recovery).
Because we’re always looking to elevate your experience! Sound Healing offers an extra layer of wellness, potentially even helping to modulate pain during treatments like electrolysis or guide you into a trance-like, zen state during facials. In short: we like to make you leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and more recharged.
Absolutely! It’s included with any booked service. No extra charge, just extra chill.
Nope! We’ll never force your ears to do anything they don’t want to. If you prefer your own playlist, want to continue binge-watching your go-to Netflix series, or just enjoy peace and quiet, just let us know. This experience is totally optional. Your spa visit, your rules.
Reduced stress, lower heart rate and respiration, improved mental focus, better sleep patterns, activation of the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) response, pain modulation.
In spite of the emerging scientific evidence on the power of sound and isochronic beats, the music is not intended as a medical treatment and we make no express claims about health benefits. Our music may indeed promote relaxation, focus, or pain modulation, but we don’t make any therapeutic claims.
At Nios, sound healing isn’t just about listening, it’s a full sensory experience. When you opt in, your treatment room transforms: our 11-speaker surround sound system fills the space with layered, immersive audio while visuals play on the TV, helping your mind drift to a calm, serene place.
At the same time, you’ll hear isochronic beats, rhythmic sound pulses that gently guide your brainwaves into different states like relaxation, focus, or deep rest. You might not even notice the beats themselves, but your brain certainly will. Combined with the vibro-acoustic hum you’ll subtly feel, the whole experience is designed to help you mentally unplug—all while you’re getting pampered with a facial or during electrolysis.
You bet. Let us know your mood goal: (1) Deep relaxation, (2) Sharper focus, (3) A guided journey to nap-town. We’ll select the soundscape and frequencies that match your desired state.
Isochronic Beats (what we use): Single-frequency pulses turning on/off at precise intervals—promotes brainwave synchronization without headphones.
Binaural Beats: Two slightly different tones in each ear—requires headphones (we skip these).
Monaural Beats: Two frequencies mixed into one signal—no headphones needed, but less immersive.
All of our facialists are certified estheticians who receive extra exclusive in-house training. Our electrologists receive what is likely the most rigorous and comprehensive electrolysis training in the country, developed and supervised by an M.D. They undergo exclusive and continuous in-house training and follow or exceed all procedures recommended by the American Electrology Association.
