Exomind: Strengthen Your Mind! A New Era in Mental Health Treatment with TMS

Living with depression, anxiety, or OCD can feel like an endless loop of frustration—especially when traditional treatments don’t bring lasting relief. Medications may stop working. Therapy might not be enough. And for many people, the side effects of antidepressants outweigh the benefits.

But what if there were a non-invasive, drug-free therapy—one that works by directly stimulating the brain’s own healing mechanisms?

Meet Exomind: a cutting-edge mental health solution delivering FDA-cleared Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to help patients regain control over their lives.

What Is Exomind?

Exomind is a next-generation mental health treatment provider using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation—a powerful, evidence-based therapy cleared by the FDA to treat:

• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Designed for people who haven’t found success with medication alone, Exomind offers a safe, effective, and non-invasive path forward.

How TMS Works

TMS uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive areas of the brain—particularly the prefrontal cortex, which plays a key role in mood regulation. The process is completely non-invasive: no anesthesia, no implants, and no systemic side effects like those seen with medications.

Each treatment session typically lasts, comfortable sessions under 30 minutes, and most patients require daily sessions over four to six weeks. After a full course, many report significant improvements in mood, focus, and overall quality of life.

Why Choose Exomind?

Exomind doesn’t just deliver TMS—it transforms the experience.

Here’s what sets Exomind apart:

• Personalized Treatment Plans: Every brain is different. Exomind clinicians tailor the intensity and frequency of magnetic stimulation based on your unique brain activity and clinical needs.

• Modern, Comfortable Clinics: Designed to feel more like a wellness center than a medical office.

• Clinically Proven Technology: Backed by years of research and cleared by the FDA.

• Expert Team: Licensed professionals with deep experience in neuromodulation and mental health care.

At Exomind, treatment isn’t just about symptom reduction—it’s about restoring hope, clarity, and resilience.

What to Expect as a Patient

Starting TMS with Exomind is simple:

1. Consultation – Meet with a mental health specialist to determine if TMS is right for you.

2. Mapping Session – A brief session to identify the exact location in your brain to target.

3. Treatment Sessions – 2 treatments per a week for 3 weeks for initial treatments, each lasting less than 30 minutes, .

4. No Downtime – You can drive home and return to your daily routine immediately.

Most patients report improvements within 2–4 weeks, with minimal to no side effects. Some describe it as a gentle tapping sensation on the scalp—painless and manageable.

Backed by Science. Cleared by the FDA.

TMS has been studied extensively since the early 2000s, and in 2008, the FDA cleared it for treating depression. Since then, it’s gained additional approval for OCD and anxiety, with numerous clinical trials confirming its safety and effectiveness.

For individuals with treatment-resistant depression, TMS has been shown to be twice as effective as antidepressants—and without the same long-term risks.

Breaking the Stigma: TMS Is Not "Shock Therapy"

Let’s clear up a common misconception: TMS is not electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). There are no electrical currents, no sedation, and no memory loss.

TMS is more like physical therapy for your brain. It gently retrains neural pathways, helping your mind heal and reconnect in healthier ways.

Is TMS Right for You?

If you’ve struggled with depression, anxiety, or OCD—and medications haven’t helped—TMS might be the answer you’ve been looking for.

At Exomind, we believe that mental health treatment should be evidence-based, compassionate, and personalized. Whether you're starting your journey or looking for an alternative to traditional approaches, we’re here to support you.

Emsella: The Chair That’s Changing Pelvic Health

Pelvic health is a topic often overlooked—until it becomes a daily struggle. Whether it’s urinary incontinence, post-childbirth recovery, or a general decline in core strength due to aging, these issues can have a significant impact on confidence, comfort, and overall quality of life. Fortunately, there’s now a revolutionary solution that doesn’t involve surgery, downtime, or even taking off your clothes. Enter Emsella—the non-invasive treatment that’s redefining how we approach pelvic floor health.

What Is Emsella?

Emsella is a unique medical device that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscles. It’s FDA-cleared to treat urinary incontinence and promote intimate wellness, making it a popular choice for both women and men looking for a safe, effective alternative to traditional therapy or surgery. Often referred to as the “Kegel throne,” Emsella delivers the equivalent of thousands of Kegel exercises in a single, 30-minute session—all while you remain fully clothed.

Who Can Benefit from Emsella?

Emsella is designed for individuals experiencing:

• Stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence

• Pelvic floor weakness following childbirth or surgery

• Age-related muscle decline

• Reduced intimate wellness or sensation

• Core instability

It’s ideal for individuals seeking a non-invasive, no-downtime treatment that can be completed quickly and discreetly.

How It Works

The treatment is simple: you sit on the Emsella chair, fully dressed. The chair emits focused electromagnetic energy that stimulates the pelvic floor muscles to contract over 11,000 times during a single session. These supramaximal contractions go far beyond what you can achieve through regular Kegel exercises, helping to retrain the muscles, restore neuromuscular control, and build long-term strength. A typical course includes six sessions over three weeks, though many notice improvement after just one or two.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

During the session, you’ll feel a tingling sensation and muscle contractions, but no pain. Afterward, you can return to your normal activities right away—no recovery time needed. Results vary, but many patients report:

• Better bladder control

• Reduced urgency or frequency

• Improved quality of sleep (less nighttime waking)

• Enhanced confidence in daily activities

The Benefits Go Beyond Bladder Control

While Emsella is most commonly used for urinary incontinence, it offers broader benefits:

• Stronger pelvic muscles can improve sexual health and satisfaction

• A more stable core can lead to better posture and lower back support

• For postpartum women, it offers a gentle yet powerful way to support recovery

Is Emsella Right for You?

Emsella is suitable for many people, but it’s important to consult with a qualified provider. The treatment is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, have pacemakers, or metal implants in the treatment area.

If you’re unsure whether you’re a good candidate, a quick consultation can help you explore your options.

Emsella is more than just a chair—it’s a transformative tool for anyone seeking to improve pelvic floor health in a dignified, non-invasive way. Whether you’re looking to regain control, boost your confidence, or support your overall wellness, Emsella could be the solution that lets you take a seat and take charge.

How to reduce bruising with fillers injections: Ask Dr. Hong

Dermal Fillers: Cannula vs. Needles

Cosmetic Dermal fillers are used to replace volume that’s been lost in the face as a result of ageing. Dermal fillers are safe and made from a substance that’s also found naturally in the body, and they add fullness to skin, reducing the appearance of folds and wrinkles. They offer fast results and can be combined with other treatments like PRP Facial treatment and BTL Exilis for complete facial rejuvenation.

While traditionally these fillers have always been injected using sharp tip needles, a new alternative to using needles is using blunt tipped cannulas to inject dermal fillers or known as dermal filler cannula which provides several benefits

Sharp tip needles use a very thin, short, sharp needle to inject dermal fillers. When using needles, multiple injection points are required, which can increase the risk of hitting a vein. If a vein is hit with a needle, there’s a higher chance of bruising after the procedure.

Along with pain and bruising, other risks that can occur, although they are rare, include skin irregularities post injection, infection at the injection site, and tissue death, and blindness which can occur when a filler is injected into a blood vessel by accident.

Cannulas have a hollow bore, just like needles, allowing the filler to pass through into the tissue. However, instead of having a sharp tip like needles, cannulas have a round, blunt end.

Therefore, this method is much safer and results with less bruising for dermal filler injections compared to using needles. Furthermore, it provides a natural and graceful look!

Intravenous Vitamin Therapy

Intravenous Vitamin Therapy

• Intravenous vitamin therapy involves the administration of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, such as amino acids, directly into the bloodstream in the form of a drip.

• The IV method bypasses the digestive system, allowing delivery of greater quantities of nutrients and promoting maximal absorption. Orally administered vitamins can be inactivated in the digestive tract or poorly absorbed, and in high doses can cause unwanted side-effects such as abdominal cramps and nausea.

  BEAUTY

• ‘True beauty from inside out’. This antioxidant packed infusion is a nutrient dense cocktail that supports strong healthy hair and nail growth, skin hydration and collagen formation. When nutrients are infused intravenously, your body absorbs 100% of the vitamins and Biotin immediately! This translates to improved hair and nail growth, strength and vitality as well as that coveted post-IV glow.

  PERFORMANCE

• Fatigue and exhaustion is nearly constant state of weariness that develops over time and reduces your energy, motivation and concentration. Fatigue at this level impacts your emotional and psychological well-being.

• Formulated with a variety of vitamins (including a high dose of the B’s) and other micro-nutrients—this helps re-balance an overtaxed system. Replenishing the nutrients you may be lacking may improve energy levels and diminish stress.

  B COMPLEX

• Our brain, nervous system, red blood cells, and DNA all require Vitamin B in its various forms to function normally. Deficiencies of several Vitamin B variations are associated with severe neurological disorders such as numbness, tingling in fingers and toes. A deficiency in these can also be the cause of fatigue, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and anaemia, and what some may call brain fog. This IV Vitamin B complex infusion contains a good dose of B vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6. Master detoxifier, Improves skin, hair, and nails , Skin brightening, High dose anti-oxidants, Anti-aging benefits.

• The Vitamin C Infusion is a vitamin drip tailor-made to boost your immune system and prevent travel related illnesses. It contains high dose Vitamin C combined with specially formulated nutrients to help combat superbugs and common viruses. Cold and Flu Buster, Perfect for travellers, Improves immune health and mental clarity.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet Rich Plasma

• Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has been used for many years to facilitate wound healing and has also played an important role in orthopedics, plastic surgery, and dentistry. It is frequently used to expedite the healing of sports injuries. In recent years, PRP has been used to treat hair loss and has come to be recognized for its ability to improve skin quality.  

• PRP is a concentrate of blood, enriched in cells called platelets which have an important role in the blood clotting process. Platelets contain a number of natural growth factors. Once introduced into the skin the platelets release their growth factors which stimulate the production of collagen and enhance the blood supply to the treated area.

• Dr. Hong Med Spa uses the PRP Kits system since the PRP produced is of the highest quality and with the optimal concentration of platelets for tissue regeneration and stimulation of hair growth.

• PRP treatments are safe, natural and usually very well tolerated. 

PRP for Hair Loss

• Both men and women suffering from thinning hair to pattern baldness may benefit from treatment with PRP.  PRP contains many growth factors that stimulate the development of new hair follicles and improve the health of existing ones. We recommend doing 3-4 treatments, one month apart, with maintenance treatments semi-annually to prolong and maintain results. The earlier these treatments are started the better the outcome in terms of slowing the hair loss and stimulation of healthy hair growth.  

• Annual PRP treatments are also recommended as a maintenance treatment after hair transplantation.

PRP for Skin Rejuvenation

• PRP has been used for facial rejuvenation throughout the world since 2006. It is especially valuable for treating fine lines around the eyes. We prefer to add PRP when treating the skin with microneedling, RadioFrequency (RF) and Ultrasound as it enhances the results. Similarly, PRP can effectively improve outcomes when used in combination with other treatments such as filler injections.

Non Surgical Temple Restoration

How temple dermal filler treatments can improve your face and make you feel younger

• Your temples lie at the side of your face, just beside your eyes. The tail of your eyebrows finishes at the front of your temples, and the upper edge meets your forehead. During the ageing process, we all lose volume in our temples. A hollowing of the temples is a natural part of the ageing process. Soft tissue and bone dissolves while muscle and fascia (your connective tissues) change. This leads to less structural support in the temple area, which results in folds, wrinkles and volume loss.

• Typically this process starts in your mid 20’s and will become more obvious in your 40’s. If you exercise regularly, eat well and run, it’s possible that the ageing process and the hollowing of your temple region has been exacerbated.

• As you age, a hollowing out in the temple area can cause an appearance that looks similar to a ‘peanut’ – a wide forehead, narrow temples and narrow cheeks. But there is a solution; the volume in your temples can be replaced using dermal fillers.

How to treat the temples with dermal filler treatments

• Dermal filler treatment is very effective for temple treatment.  With dermal filler injections we are able to revolumise and restore your temples. Due to Therapeutic Goods Administration rules, we can’t name any of the products we use.

• Many dermal fillers are made from a clear gel composed of a substance that is naturally found in skin. Dermal fillers vary with viscosity, thickness, and longevity. We tend to use finer fillers in areas where your skin is fine and smoothness is critical, like your eye area and temple area.

• Our dermal filler treatment for temples can be done with a blunt micro-cannula injection technique. A blunt micro-cannula temple filler technique involves a single puncture with a needle. This is passed through the top section of your outside eyebrow to a single point near the bone. We then inject dermal filler downwards to smooth and fill the area out.
