TMS stands for transcranial magnetic stimulation, which is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses—similar to those of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine—to awaken parts of the brain that are underactive in people who suffer from depression. TMS is safe and clinically proven to improve the symptoms of depression in just 4 to 6 weeks. In the past, a single TMS session took up to 37.5 minutes. With 5 weekly sessions, you’d be spending over 3 hours a week in treatment—not including parking. Express TMS uses a patterned frequency which mimics the natural rhythms of the brain that occur during neuroplasticity (aka learning). In Express TMS, your brain learns 10 times faster than with conventional TMS and your sessions only last 3 minutes.
