The 69-year-old comic disclosed in an Instagram post on Thursday that she had had twenty rounds of “sci-fi” operation, which is estimated to cost £4,000.
Ruby said that she had worn a helmet that resembled a 1950s hairdryer and uploaded an accompanying photo, making fun of the fact that the “sci-fi” process had prevented her from becoming one of “The Walking Dead.”
The non-invasive method is said to enhance serotonin synthesis and heal damaged neurons in the prefrontal cortex, as well as other damaged brain tissue.
Ruby felt good enough to do some gardening and catch up with her daughters Mandy, 32, and Marina Bye, 29, who will be performing at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, after the therapy.
