Alice Hart-Davis visits Dr Preema Vig to try Exomind, a 24.5-minute magnetic brain treatment that aims to improve sleep, anxiety, and focus. The device uses transcranial magnetic stimulation on the prefrontal cortex, producing a light tapping sensation most people sleep through. Clients report better sleep, reduced brain fog, and help with smoking cessation.

Now, how about a treatment for your mind? We've had face, we've had body, now mental well-being is in focus. And I've come to Dr. Preema's beautiful clinic on Park Lane to talk to her about Exomind. So Preema, what is Exomind?
Exomind is like a gym workout for your brain. So it's based on TMS technology, which is transcranial magnetic stimulation. Okay. Which has been around since 1985.
What does that stimulation do? What does it do to our brainwaves?
So it's a magnetic stimulation which stimulates our neural pathways to reconnect again on the left side of the brain.
And what kind of people are coming in to ask you for these treatments?
Actually, all kinds of people.
Oh, really?
Yes, because it can help so many different people at different levels. People who just can't sleep, some people who have anxiety, they just feel more calm. People's efficiency in the workplace and at home life gets better. Focus, mind focus, brain fog. You have the high-powered CEO who's trying to juggle so many things. Postpartum, after someone's given birth, it helps with their mood. We've got the perimenopause, menopausal patients, because the hormonal imbalances, it helps with them as well.
So this really sounds like a treatment for our times, isn't it? Given that we're all rushing about, so busy, so stressed, so unable to sleep, all the rest of it. What does the treatment involve?
You lie down and the Applutator is placed on the left side of the brain.
Okay, now why the left side?
Because it's where the prefrontal cortex is, where it controls the emotional balance of the brain. It's our CEO of the brain.
And is it comfortable? Is it prickly electrical stuff?
Very comfortable. Just a light tapping for 24 and a half minutes.
Like a— mm-hmm. Okay. Is that not annoying?
No, it's really comfortable. People fall asleep in it.
Okay. So I know your team here has tried it. Now they've had a variety of of beneficial effects from it, haven't they?
They have. This includes sleep efficiency, feeling more calm, brain fog clearing, anxiety levels going down. Some people have had weight loss because food cravings have stopped.
Goodness.
And we're looking into, let's see if it helps people with their vaping or stopping smoking. Okay. So there's a lot of different things.
Amazing. And this is from BTL who always take their scientific research behind their treatments very seriously, which I think is reassuring, isn't it?
Absolutely. And it's based on TMS technology, which has been around since 1985.
So if somebody is wondering if this is maybe a treatment for them, what should they do?
They should call us, contact us, book an appointment for a joint consultation, and, and we will actually see if they're a potential candidate.
