Exomind in Waxhaw

Exomind in Waxhaw works similarly to a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device to target the part of your brain responsible for cognitive function and goal-directed behavior. This treatment uses repetitive magnetic stimulation pulses to improve neural connectivity and cognitive patterns.

To put it simply: Exomind builds new neural pathways and retrains the brain to process emotions and thoughts more constructively.

The number of required sessions of Exomind in Waxhaw varies by client. Following a comprehensive consultation, the Dogwood Face & Body team recommends an individualized treatment plan.

On average, Dogwood patients require 6 Exomind sessions, at a rate of 2 to 3 times a week; the initial treatment process spans 2 to 3 weeks. We recommend patients schedule maintenance sessions once per month following the first round of Exomind.

We may adjust Exomind frequency and duration based on your individual wellness progress and goals.

Not only is this mental health treatment safe, it’s also very comfortable. The practice of TMS therapy has been around for 40 years. However, TMS had its shortfalls; the treatment times were usually long, and many patients complained that the applicator was uncomfortable.

The manufacturer of Exomind, BTL, used the model of TMS, but spent 10 years improving it. Now, patients can experience 30-minute treatment sessions that are more comfortable than traditional TMS. Exomind also boasts a high success rate, with 50% of patients experiencing improvement in depressive symptoms after 4 weeks.

Exomind is FDA-approved for the following mental health challenges:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Binge eating
• Mental fog
• Difficulty focusing
• OCD
• Poor sleep patterns
• Changes in mood

You may experience a tingling sensation on your scalp, but you shouldn’t feel any pain or discomfort during your session of Exomind in Waxhaw.

Patients with implanted metal or electronic devices, especially in or near their head, should not use Exomind. This includes cochlear implants, pacemakers, and metal plates and screws. Exomind uses repetitive magnetic stimulation pulses, which may interfere with electronic devices. Metal implants may move or heat up due to that stimulation.

We also cannot use Exomind to treat patients with a history of seizures or epilepsy.

Yes, Exomind in Waxhaw can be used in conjunction with other mental health treatments, including medication. The goal of Exomind is to allow patients to gradually phase out systematic mental health medication, but these treatments can be used simultaneously.

We recommend consulting with your mental health specialist to discuss any changes to your care and create a plan for your medications going forward.

Many patients choose Exomind as a method of mental well-being support because it has a shorter session length than other mental wellness treatments, like traditional transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) devices.

Patients with busy calendars may find that calming Exomind treatments fit in their schedules better than longer therapy sessions.

Exomind can also support other mental health treatments, working alongside therapy or medication to give you enhanced anxiety or depression relief, improve sleeping, and make it easier to regulate your emotions.

Any changes to your mental health treatment plan should be discussed with your mental health specialist. If you decide to try Exomind, contact the team at Dogwood Face & Body for a comprehensive consultation.

It may seem surprising that a medical spa and dentistry would offer mental health services. But we understand the interconnectedness of the body, and how your mental health affects your physical well-being, and vice versa.

Melissa Amos, the founder of Dogwood Face & Body and Dogwood Dental Spa, has seen patients struggling with anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. This can take a toll on your quality of life. Relating this to oral health, depression can make simple tasks like brushing your teeth seem like a challenge, while anxiety can make visiting the dentist a worrisome task that one might avoid.

If offering Exomind in Waxhaw can help improve your quality of life, then it’s aligning with our values and mission, which is to empower individuals to not only look their best, but also feel their best.

There is no downtime required for Exomind in Waxhaw, but we still recommend avoiding stressful situations if possible. For most clients, we encourage you to engage in relaxing and leisurely activities, like walking or gardening. However, we understand that stressful situations and surroundings are often unavoidable, so take these as suggestions.
