Exomind (ExoTMS)

No. Exomind is registered in Malaysia for depression-related conditions, including comorbid anxiety, OCD as an add-on treatment, and binge eating disorder. Some patients raise broader concerns, such as focus, stress or mental clarity. A doctor-led assessment determines whether further evaluation or a different approach is more appropriate for those goals.

Exomind (ExoTMS™) is Dr. D Signature Clinic's signature non-invasive brain stimulation therapy, designed to support mind wellness and performance. It is offered as part of our Mind pillar, alongside broader mind wellness support focused on cognitive wellbeing and emotional balance. Every Exomind treatment is doctor-led, from the initial assessment through to the sessions themselves.

Exomind uses ExoTMS™, a patented transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) system. Targeted magnetic pulses stimulate nerve cells in brain areas associated with mood regulation and executive control. The stimulation is delivered in a controlled, non-invasive way during each session. Your doctor will explain the mechanism in more detail and how it relates to your specific goals during your consultation.

No. Most patients describe the sensation as light tapping on the scalp rather than pain. You remain fully alert throughout, and can speak up at any point if you'd like the settings adjusted.

No. Exomind is non-invasive and doesn't require anaesthesia or sedation. You stay fully awake through treatment and can leave immediately after your session.

Yes. Exomind is walk-in, walk-out, there is no downtime, no sedation and no driving restrictions afterwards.

Each Exomind session takes under 30 minutes. This is separate from your initial private assessment, which typically takes 30–40 minutes.

The private assessment typically takes 30–40 minutes. Your doctor will discuss what you've been experiencing, review your medical history, and confirm whether Exomind is a suitable next step for you.

The number of Exomind sessions needed is personalised based on your goals and your doctor's recommendation, rather than following a fixed course for everyone, we won't promise a number before you've been assessed. Your doctor will typically outline an initial treatment plan and adjust it as needed based on how you respond.

Not automatically. Do not stop any prescribed medication, therapy or psychiatric treatment because you are considering Exomind, it is not a substitute for appropriate professional medical care. If you have a diagnosed mental health condition, bring details of your current treatment to your assessment and your doctor will work around it, or refer you where appropriate.

Exomind follows international safety protocols associated with transcranial magnetic stimulation technology. That said, suitability is confirmed through a medical assessment for every patient, since certain health conditions may affect whether the treatment is appropriate. This assessment is a standard part of the process before any session begins.

Mild and temporary side effects may occur in some individuals following Exomind treatment, though experiences can vary from person to person. Your doctor will discuss possible side effects with you before treatment begins, as part of the informed consent process. If you have any concerns during or after your sessions, our medical team is available to advise you.

Yes. Exomind is registered with Malaysia's Medical Device Authority (MDA) as an rTMS system, with its current registration valid from April 2025 to April 2030.

An assessment is often worth discussing if your work and life demand sharp mental performance, but you feel constantly drained inside; you're dealing with persistent low mood, brain fog, or chronic stress; and lifestyle changes like rest and exercise just haven't moved the needle. A doctor will evaluate your symptoms to determine whether Exomind is the right fit, or if another approach makes more sense.

Exomind is not the answer if you're looking to stop prescribed medication, seeking a replacement for sleep, or in need of psychiatric or psychological care, these situations call for the appropriate medical or mental health professional, and your doctor can help point you there. Certain implanted metallic or electronic devices, and specific medical conditions, may also affect suitability for TMS-based treatment, which is why medical screening is required before any session.

Exomind (ExoTMS™) uses advanced coil technology designed for deeper, more targeted stimulation compared to some traditional TMS setups. This is intended to allow treatment to be tailored more precisely to the areas being addressed. Your doctor can explain how this technology relates to your specific treatment goals during consultation.

Exomind is built on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) technology, specifically BTL's ExoTMS™ system, using magnetic pulses to stimulate targeted neural regions. So while Exomind is a form of TMS, it refers specifically to the treatment programme delivered on this platform at our clinic.

Exomind itself is drug-free. That said, existing medication should never be stopped or changed because you're starting Exomind, any changes to your current treatment should only happen if directed by your treating doctor.

No. Cognitive or emotional outcomes are never guaranteed. Your doctor will discuss expected benefits in relation to your specific goals and the available evidence, rather than promising a particular result.

A consultation and medical assessment with our doctors is the only reliable way to determine whether Exomind is suitable for you. This typically involves discussing your goals, reviewing your medical history and addressing any questions you may have. Your doctor will only recommend Exomind if it's an appropriate fit for your situation.

The cost of Exomind depends on your personalised treatment course, including the number of sessions recommended for your goals. Because this is determined after assessment, pricing isn't fixed until your doctor has proposed a plan. Full cost details will be discussed transparently during your consultation.
