A REVOLUTIONARY PATH TO MENTAL WELLNESS
Introducing EXOMIND ® – Feel Like Yourself Again (or better)
Navigating the challenges of mental wellness can feel like an uphill battle. Whether you’re managing diagnosed depression, dealing with anxiety that won’t quiet down, struggling to focus, losing the battle against food noise, or simply feeling like a fog has settled over your life — these experiences are real, they’re common, and they’re treatable without medication.
At SkinMD, we are proud to offer EXOMIND — a groundbreaking, FDA-cleared TMS therapy that targets the root of your symptoms rather than masking them. Think of it as personal training for your brain. By stimulating specific neural pathways that control mood regulation, focus, impulse control, and emotional balance, EXOMIND helps restore healthy brain activity from the inside out. The result is a revitalized you: clearer, calmer, and more present in your own life.
If your brain doesn’t feel like it’s firing on all cylinders, EXOMIND may be worth exploring.
PHYSICIAN-LED CARE
Our Integrative Approach to Mental Wellness
At SkinMD, we believe that true well-being is achieved by addressing mental and emotional health with the same dedication as physical health. EXOMIND is part of a broader, whole-person commitment to helping our patients look and feel their absolute best.
EXOMIND at SkinMD is administered under the direction of our Medical Director, ensuring the clinical oversight and individualized care our patients have come to expect. We combine the most advanced technology available with physician expertise to deliver outcomes that last.
Who Can Benefit from EXOMIND?
EXOMIND is FDA-cleared for Major Depressive Disorder and as an adjunct for OCD. But the people who benefit from it are far broader than those two diagnoses alone. If you recognize yourself in any of the following, a consultation with our team is a meaningful first step.
Clinically Cleared Indications
- Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) — especially in adults who have not found adequate relief from antidepressants
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) — as an adjunct to existing therapy or medication
Commonly Reported Symptoms That Will Likely Respond to Treatment
- Anxiety and chronic stress that interfere with a significant part of your day
- Patients using GLP-1 medications for weight management — EXOMIND can strengthen impulse control and reduce the mental noise around food that medications alone often leave behind
- Brain fog, poor memory, or a persistent sense of mental cloudiness
- Difficulty concentrating or staying on task (including ADHD-like symptoms)
- Food noise — constant, intrusive thoughts around eating, cravings, or control
- Impulse control challenges — reacting before thinking, difficulty holding back
- Racing thoughts, especially at night, that prevent restful sleep
- Low mood, emotional flatness, or loss of motivation without a clear reason
- Mood and emotional disruption related to perimenopause or menopause
- A general sense of not functioning at your best — even when nothing is ‘clinically wrong.’
EXOMIND does not replace your current medications or prescribed treatments. It is designed to work alongside them — helping your brain respond more effectively to what’s already in place. Think of it as clearing out the cobwebs or opening the blinds in a dark room to let the sunshine in.
FDA Clearance Numbers
K212723 — FDA-cleared for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in adults who have not achieved satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication. K230657 — FDA-cleared (February 2024) as an adjunct treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in adults.

The Science, Simply Explained
Our brains rely on networks of nerve cells that communicate through electrical impulses. When those networks become sluggish, dysregulated, or stuck in unhealthy patterns, we feel it — as low mood, racing thoughts, poor focus, emotional reactivity, or a host of other experiences and feelings that quietly erode your quality of life.
EXOMIND is a next-generation technology called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to address this directly. The device generates gentle, focused magnetic pulses that pass through the scalp to stimulate underactive areas of the brain involved in mood and emotional regulation, and is entirely comfortable and painless. This process uses patented ExoTMS™ technology and is entirely comfortable and painless — most patients describe a soft tapping sensation and nothing more.
Over the course of treatment, this stimulation revitalizes otherwise weakened or dormant neural pathways and promotes neuroplasticity — your brain’s natural ability to reorganize and form new, healthy connections. Research shows a significant increase in Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a key protein for brain cell growth and survival. In plain terms: EXOMIND helps your brain heal and recalibrate itself — often described as a workout for your brain, one that builds lasting strength over the course of treatment.

Why Patients Choose EXOMIND
Faster Results in Far Fewer Sessions
Unlike traditional TMS, ExoTMS™, the next generation of TMS therapy that requires 30–40 sessions over several months, EXOMIND achieves meaningful results in as few as 6 treatments. That’s a fraction of the time and cost of traditional TMS— without sacrificing clinical outcomes. Most patients complete their full course in weeks, not months, and return to what matters most in their lives.
Comfortable, Quiet, and Painless
Exomind’s patented ExoTMS™ technology eliminates the loud noise and discomfort associated with older TMS devices. Sessions last 24 minutes. You sit comfortably, fully awake, while the device delivers gentle magnetic pulses. There is no sedation, no anesthesia, no needles. Most patients describe a light tapping on the scalp and nothing more. You can drive yourself home and return to your day immediately.
Drug-Free, With No Systemic Side Effects
EXOMIND offers a medication-free path to improved mental wellness. Unlike antidepressants, which can cause drowsiness, weight gain, emotional blunting, or sexual dysfunction, EXOMIND works directly on the brain without introducing chemicals into your system. For patients who want to complement their existing medications — or possibly step away from them under physician guidance — this is a meaningful clinical option and first step.
Personalized to You
Every EXOMIND protocol at SkinMD is individualized. Your treatment plan is built around your specific history, symptoms, and goals — not a standardized template. Real-time feedback mechanisms allow for precision that older TMS protocols simply cannot offer.
REAL PEOPLE. REAL RESULTS.
Stories That Stay with You
The most powerful thing we can offer is the experience of people who have been where you are. These are real accounts from patients and providers who have seen EXOMIND change daily life in ways that go beyond what any clinical stat can capture.
I had a fear of flying that ran my life. I needed medication just to board a plane. After EXOMIND, I flew for a work trip and didn’t even think about it. The fear just wasn’t there anymore.” — Julie, BTL team member — situational anxiety & fear of flying
“I used to spiral every time I drove into the city, obsessing over parking. It sounds small, but it took over my thoughts completely. After treatment, I just parked and walked in. It wasn’t even a thing.” — Julie — intrusive thoughts & everyday anxiety
“My mind would race the moment my head hit the pillow. I couldn’t shut it off. Now I fall asleep. That’s it. I just fall asleep — and that has changed everything.” — Kate, BTL team member — ADHD-related racing thoughts & sleep disruption
“My best friend of over 20 years called me one day and said, ‘You sound so happy. You sound like yourself again.’ Then she admitted she’d been pulling away because I was always so negative. I had no idea. EXOMIND didn’t just change how I felt. It saved our friendship.”— Patient story shared by Kate — depression & emotional withdrawal
HOW IT COMPARES
EXOMIND vs. Traditional TMS
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation has a long clinical track record — but the traditional protocol demands a level of commitment and significant cost that keeps many patients from ever starting, or finishing. EXOMIND represents a significant leap forward in TMS technology: fewer sessions, shorter appointments, a quieter and more comfortable experience, and a personalized protocol built around your specific clinical presentation.
| Traditional TMS | EXOMIND | |
| Sessions Required | 30–40 sessions | As few as 6 sessions |
| Session Duration | 45–60+ minutes | 24 minutes |
| Time Commitment | Months of near-daily visits | Completed in weeks |
| Comfort | Loud, often uncomfortable | Gentle tapping — quiet and painless |
| Protocol | Standardized for all patients | Personalized to your brain |
| Typical Cost (no insurance) | $6,000–$8,000+ | $2,950 |
| Setting | Hospital or psychiatric clinic | Private, welcoming medspa |

From your first conversation to your final session, everything at SkinMD is designed to be unhurried, private, and fully supportive. There is no pressure, no one-size-fits-all approach, and no commitment until you are ready.
Consultation
We start by listening. Your SkinMD provider will review your health history, current medications, and wellness goals before making any recommendations. If EXOMIND is appropriate for you, we’ll tell you. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you that too.
Pre-Treatment Screening
A required medical history and physical assessment will be completed before your first session to determine if you are a good candidate without any contraindications.
Your Sessions
As few as six sessions, 24 minutes each. You sit comfortably, fully awake. No sedation, no preparation, no needles. Most patients describe a gentle tapping on the scalp. Many use the time to decompress, listen to music, or simply rest. Most patients describe feeling relaxed during sessions as if they’ve been in a calming meditation session.
