EXOMIND™ is an advanced form of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) designed to support mood, focus, emotional regulation, and cognitive wellness using targeted magnetic stimulation technology. Developed with ExoTMS™ technology by BTL, EXOMIND offers a non-invasive, medication-free approach for individuals struggling with depression and other mental wellness concerns.
Unlike traditional TMS systems that often require 36 treatment sessions, EXOMIND protocols are designed to deliver results in significantly fewer sessions while maintaining comfort and convenience.
EXOMIND™ uses precisely targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), an area of the brain responsible for mood regulation, motivation, focus, decision-making, and emotional processing. In many individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, brain fog, or emotional dysregulation, this region of the brain can become underactive.
By gently stimulating these neural pathways, EXOMIND helps encourage neuroplasticity — the brain’s natural ability to form new, healthier connections and improve communication between brain regions.
EXOMIND™ is FDA-cleared for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and is also being used clinically to support a variety of mental wellness concerns, including:
During treatment, you relax comfortably in a reclined chair while the EXOMIND device delivers gentle magnetic pulses to targeted areas of the brain. Sessions are completely non-invasive, require no anesthesia or sedation, and allow you to immediately return to normal daily activities afterward.
Many patients describe the sensation as light tapping on the scalp and find the treatment quieter and more comfortable than traditional TMS systems.
Typical EXOMIND treatment sessions last approximately 25 minutes. Many protocols involve as few as 6 sessions over several weeks, though individualized treatment plans may vary depending on symptoms and clinical goals.
Patients often pursue EXOMIND™ because it offers:
Most patients remain awake and relaxed throughout treatment. The magnetic pulses are commonly experienced as gentle tapping sensations on the scalp. Many individuals report feeling calm, mentally clear, or more focused following sessions.
Because EXOMIND is non-sedating, patients are able to drive themselves home and continue normal activities immediately after treatment.
EXOMIND™ may be an excellent option for individuals who:
The EXOMIND™ TMS treatment protocol involves 6 sessions spread over 3 weeks, with each session lasting 25 minutes. The EXOMIND™ TMS is not covered by insurance. This is a great option for those with busy schedules. Patients remain awake and alert throughout the session and can resume normal activities immediately afterward.
EXOMIND™ TMS protocol:
EXOMIND™ is considered a safe and well-tolerated treatment, though some mild side effects may occur. The most common side effects include mild headache or scalp discomfort, which usually resolves after a few sessions. Other potential side effects may include tingling, twitching, or spasms in facial muscles, lightheadedness, or temporary sensitivity to the clicking sound of the machine (earplugs are provided). While rare, there is a slight risk of seizures, typically in patients with a history of seizures or epilepsy. There is also a very rare chance of worsening of mental health condition to occur.
EXOMIND™ is not suitable for everyone. It should be avoided by individuals with metal implants near the head (such as aneurysm clips, deep brain stimulators, or cochlear implants), those with implanted medical devices (such as pacemakers or insulin pumps), and individuals with severe neurological conditions that may increase the risk of seizures. EXOMIND™ is also contraindicated for individuals with a history of seizures, brain aneurysms, hemorrhagic stroke, mania, or psychosis.
Improvements in mental health symptoms may begin after 4-6 treatments. The long-term benefits of EXOMIND™ can last for months or even years, although maintenance sessions may be necessary every 3 to 6 months for some individuals after their 6 initial treatments. One of the key advantages of EXOMIND™ is that it does not involve medications, meaning it avoids many common systemic side effects associated with antidepressants, such as weight gain, insomnia, fatigue, or sexual dysfunction.
The EXOMIND™ process begins with a pre-screening questionnaire followed by a complimentary consultation, then a medical clearance. Afterward, the patient begins the 6-session EXOMIND™ TMS protocol. After completing the sessions, a follow-up appointment is scheduled to evaluate the progress and determine if further maintenance sessions are needed. This comprehensive approach ensures that the treatment is customized and effective, leading to long-term mental health improvements.
Unfortunately, EXOMIND™ TMS treatments are not covered by insurance, however, our standard TMS treatments are covered by most commercial health insurance and Medicare (not covered by United Health Care or Medicaid).
