Exomind is the latest device developed by BTL, a leader in aesthetics and wellness technology. However, unlike their other devices, Exomind specifically focuses on improving mental wellness using electromagnetic technology.
Education is a pillar of our care at Lumina Vein & Aesthetics. So here, we’ll explain everything you should know about Exomind near Orlando, and how it’s meant to improve your overall mental wellness.
What It Is
Exomind is a mental wellness treatment that uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to reactivate neural pathways and help improve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and more. It fits comfortably on the head to stimulate key areas of the brain that are responsible for emotional regulation, cognitive function, and self-control. This enhances neural connectivity and supports healthy thinking patterns.
What It Treats
- Difficulty to focus
- Changes in mood
- Symptoms of depression
- Poor sleep patterns
- Symptoms of anxiety
- Mental fog
The Two Protocols
There are two protocols when it comes to receiving treatment with Exomind near Orlando, depending on your specific mental wellness needs. If you are looking to improve your focus or mood, then we would use protocol 1. If you are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of mental illnesses like depression or anxiety, then we would use protocol 2.
Protocol 1
For protocol 1, you will receive 1 session of Exomind a week for 4 weeks. Your appointment will be about 30 minutes long. Many patients experience lasting improvements in their mental wellness, but you can schedule additional appointments after your initial series if you feel your symptoms returning. Most patients who visit our team for Exomind will undergo protocol 1.
Protocol 2
This protocol is for those who experience more intense symptoms. The patients who experience these symptoms are often diagnosed with depression or anxiety, and while prescription medications or therapy may help them, it may not fully address their symptoms. For this protocol, you’ll undergo Exomind near Orlando once a day every day for a month, with your appointment lasting about 15 minutes.
Why Patients Love Exomind
As a mental wellness treatment, our patients have developed healthier thought processes and improved their daily lives with Exomind. Here are the top reasons why patients love using Exomind at Lumina.
Noninvasive
With Exomind, you don’t need to receive injections or undergo any invasive procedures to improve your symptoms and have a healthier mind.
Drug-Free
Just like how you don’t need to undergo invasive procedures, you do not need to take any medications to achieve relief.
No Prep
Exomind does not require any preparation or post-care. This means you can easily walk in, receive treatment, and go back to your normal day.
Short Sessions
Treatment takes no longer than 30 minutes. This means you won’t have to take precious time away from the other aspects of your life.
The Exomind Process
The process for Exomind is fairly simple, so here are the steps you can expect to take when you visit our team at Lumina to improve your mental wellness!
Consultation
First, you meet with our providers for a consultation. They will talk with you about what symptoms you’re experiencing, and ask you questions about your medical history, including any diagnosed mental disorders. This will help inform them if Exomind might be the right treatment for you. Together, you will create a treatment plan that addresses your concerns.
Treatment
For treatment, all you need to do is arrive with a clean head of hair. Your provider will place the Exomind cap on your head, making sure to situate it correctly for optimal effectiveness. For 30 minutes, you will sit back and relax while your mind undergoes painless electromagnetic stimulation. You may feel a slight tingling on your scalp, but should otherwise be comfortable.
Results
Once you finish with your full series of Exomind near Orlando, you should feel an improvement to your overall mood and thought processes. You can receive maintenance sessions whenever you feel the need for them. All you need to do is reach out and schedule an appointment with our team whenever you feel your symptoms returning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Want to learn more about Exomind? Here are the most common questions our team hears about Exomind and their corresponding answers.
Does it hurt?
No, you should not experience any pain when you receive Exomind near Orlando. The most you will feel during treatment is a slight tingling sensation, which most patients find comfortable.
Is it a cure for mental illness?
No, Exomind is not a cure for any diagnosable mental illnesses. If you have diagnosed illnesses, then Exomind may be able to improve your symptoms alongside other forms of treatments. However, we do not recommend using Exomind by itself to attempt to “cure” your mental illness.
What parts of the brain does it stimulate?
Exomind targets a specific part of the brain known as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Located in the frontal lobe, this area of the brain is responsible for executive control functions like task switching, planning, working memory, and task reconfiguration. While the exact correlation has not been discovered, clinical studies have shown a connection between the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and speech.
Our providers find the right placement for the Exomind headpiece by having you lay your hands palm-up and emitting small currents of electricity on one side of your brain, then the other. Once they see your fingers twitch from the stimulation, they know they have found the correct placement.
Am I a good candidate for Exomind?
Almost anyone who wants to improve their mood and mental wellness is a good candidate for Exomind near Orlando. However, we do not suggest treatment to those who have metal or electronic implants in their head, and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Is Exomind like electroshock therapy?
Exomind is different from electroshock therapy, which is an intense treatment that requires anesthesia. Electroshock therapy, also known as ECT, uses electrical currents to induce seizures to treat severe mental illnesses like depression and bipolar disorder. TMS is far gentler on the mind, and while it can help with symptoms of mild to moderate mental illnesses, it is not a cure for such illnesses.
Is Exomind safe?
Yes, Exomind is completely safe. Since it uses TMS technology, which has been FDA-approved to help with mental illnesses for years now, it is known to be a safe and effective treatment to improve your overall mood and thought processes.
Will my symptoms possibly get worse before they get better?
If you’ve already done some research on TMS technology, you may have seen some patients experience a “dip” in their symptoms before they start to see an improvement. While there is no substantial data to support this, our theory is that it takes a lot of energy for your brain to build and strengthen neural pathways. Because of this, your brain becomes fatigued and causes a dip in your energy levels. However, this should be temporary, and you’ll feel an improvement in your overall thought processes and mood after about 12 weeks.
Does Exomind change my sleep habits?
Many patients who have undergone Exomind near Orlando have noticed an improvement in their sleep habits. Because Exomind improves connectivity between your neural pathways, this also includes the areas of your brain responsible for healthy sleep. This means you are more likely to get enough rest, which will help improve your mental wellness.
Are there any side effects?
There are no side effects you will need to worry about. After treatment, you can return to your daily activities as normal!
What happens if I miss an Exomind session?
Nothing negative will happen if you miss a session of Exomind near Orlando, but our team likes to keep treatment consistent to help you achieve the best possible results.
