RegenMind — Gentle TMS for Mood, Sleep & Concentration

RegenMind is IN Eternity Clinic’s gentle, completely non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation programme — built on the same principle as BTL Exomind, and offered only after a medical assessment with Medical Director Dr Sin Yong.

In short: RegenMind is a course of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) at IN Eternity Clinic, 9 Scotts Road, Singapore. A treatment coil resting on the scalp sends brief magnetic pulses through the skull to the prefrontal cortex — a brain region involved in mood regulation and attention — with no needles, anaesthesia or sedation. It is completely non-invasive — nothing enters the body — and designed to be gentle: it uses lower-intensity stimulation, so most people feel only a light tapping on the scalp. It works on the same principle as BTL’s Exomind, but it is a separate programme on a different platform. Every patient is assessed and screened by a doctor first, because TMS is a medical procedure with real contraindications.

What RegenMind Is Used For

Mood, Sleep and Concentration

RegenMind is used for three areas. The strength of the evidence differs between them, and IN Eternity Clinic sets it out plainly.

Mood

Mood is where TMS evidence is strongest. Repetitive TMS has been cleared in the US for depression since 2008 and is part of depression care in Singapore’s public hospitals. Where low mood is part of a diagnosed condition, RegenMind is coordinated with your own doctor or psychiatrist.

Sleep

A newer but growing area. A June 2026 meta-analysis of 19 randomised trials in 1,690 adults with insomnia disorder found TMS improved sleep quality and insomnia severity compared with sham treatment — with moderate-to-low certainty, as most trials were small. The cause of poor sleep is assessed first.

Concentration

The least established of the three. Studies in healthy adults show small effects on executive function — planning and switching between tasks — and researchers describe the benefit so far as limited. It is discussed at assessment alongside mood and sleep, with realistic expectations.

What Is RegenMind

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Explained

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses a rapidly changing magnetic field to influence activity in a targeted area of the brain, from outside the head. It has been used in medicine since the mid-1980s and is one of the most studied forms of non-invasive brain stimulation.

RegenMind is how TMS is delivered at IN Eternity Clinic: a doctor-led programme on Orchard Road in which each course is assessed, calibrated and supervised by Medical Director Dr Sin Yong. Sessions take about 30 minutes, you remain awake and seated throughout, and you can return to your day afterwards.

How it works

01

The coil

A treatment coil is positioned against the scalp over the prefrontal region — the front part of the brain involved in mood regulation, attention and self-control. It produces a brief, focused magnetic field, comparable in strength to an MRI scanner’s but lasting only a fraction of a second.

02

The pulse

The magnetic field passes through skin and bone without resistance and induces a small electrical current in the outer layer of the brain directly beneath the coil, prompting the nerve cells there to fire. Nothing enters the body.

03

The course

Repeated across a series of sessions, stimulation is thought to change how the targeted brain networks behave — a process described as neuroplasticity. That is why TMS is given as a course rather than as a single session.

RegenMind and Exomind

What Is Shared, and What Is Not

Exomind has brought TMS into aesthetic clinics and the media, so it is a common starting point for questions about RegenMind. The two share a principle, not a device.

The shared principle

Both are transcranial magnetic stimulation directed at the prefrontal cortex. Both are non-invasive, need no anaesthesia or sedation, and are delivered in sessions of around 30 minutes or less while you stay awake.

Exomind

Exomind is BTL’s TMS device, using its ExoTMS technology, launched in January 2025. In the US it is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder in adults who have not improved on antidepressant medication; in Europe it carries a CE mark for further indications.

RegenMind

RegenMind is IN Eternity Clinic’s own TMS programme and does not use the Exomind device. It uses lower-intensity stimulation for a gentler session, with the protocol set by Dr Sin Yong at assessment. Because the intensity differs, outcome figures published for Exomind or other devices should not be assumed to apply to it.

The Evidence

Where TMS Stands Today

The strongest and best-established evidence for TMS is in depression. Repetitive TMS was first cleared by the US FDA for depression in 2008, and TMS services for depression now run within Singapore’s public healthcare system, including at the Institute of Mental Health and Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

Other uses are less settled. In April 2026 the Clinical TMS Society published a statement cautioning that wellness claims made for Exomind in the media — such as relieving “brain fog” or improving focus — are not yet supported by peer-reviewed evidence, and that a US 510(k) clearance does not by itself establish effectiveness for new uses.

IN Eternity Clinic takes the same view. This page describes what TMS is and how RegenMind is delivered; it does not promise an outcome. What RegenMind may realistically offer you — and whether it is appropriate at all — is discussed with Dr Sin Yong at assessment.

Suitability

Who RegenMind May Suit

People often ask about RegenMind if they

  • —have low mood, poor sleep or difficulty concentrating, and want to know whether a gentle, non-invasive, drug-free option is appropriate for them
  • —are already under the care of a doctor or psychiatrist for low mood and want to explore TMS alongside that care
  • —prefer an unhurried medical assessment before deciding on any procedure

RegenMind is not suitable, or needs individual review, with

  • —metal in or near the head — aneurysm clips or coils, cochlear implants, deep brain or vagus nerve stimulators, shrapnel (braces and dental fillings are usually fine)
  • —a pacemaker, implanted defibrillator or medication pump
  • —a history of epilepsy or seizures, significant head injury, or medicines that lower the seizure threshold
  • —pregnancy, or bipolar disorder — considered case by case, with appropriate oversight

If you are in crisis, TMS is not the right first step. If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide or is in immediate danger, call 995, the Samaritans of Singapore 24-hour line on 1-767, or the IMH Mental Health Helpline on 6389 2222.

Your First Visit

What a RegenMind Session Involves

01

Consultation and screening

Dr Sin Yong takes a full medical history, reviews your medicines and completes a standard TMS safety screen. If you are under the care of another doctor or psychiatrist, care is coordinated with them, with your permission.

02

Calibration

Stimulation strength is set for you individually. The lowest intensity that produces a small twitch of the thumb when the motor area is stimulated — the motor threshold — is found first, and RegenMind’s lower treatment intensity is set relative to it.

03

The session

You sit comfortably and stay awake. Earplugs are provided because the coil makes a loud clicking sound, and you will feel a light, rhythmic tapping on the scalp — RegenMind uses lower-intensity stimulation to keep sessions gentle. A session takes about 30 minutes.

04

Afterwards

There is no recovery period — you can drive and return to work. How you are feeling, and any side effects, are reviewed at each visit so the course can be adjusted.

Side Effects

What to Expect

Common, usually mild

Scalp discomfort or a tapping sensation under the coil; headache, generally eased by simple painkillers; twitching of facial or jaw muscles during pulses; brief lightheadedness. These tend to lessen over the first few sessions.

Rare

Seizure is the most serious risk of TMS and is rare — reported at well under one in ten thousand sessions in published safety data. It is the main reason every patient is screened before starting. Hearing is protected with earplugs at every session.

“Brain stimulation deserves the same discipline as any medical procedure: screen first, calibrate to the individual, and be honest about what the evidence does and does not show.”

Why IN Eternity

A Doctor on the Premises

TMS is a medical procedure, and at IN Eternity Clinic it is treated as one. Medical Director Dr Sin Yong — MBBS (NUS), MRCS (Edinburgh), MSc Aesthetic Medicine (London), MSc Practical Dermatology (Cardiff) — is on site at Pacific Plaza. He carries out the assessment, sets each protocol and remains responsible for every RegenMind session.

RegenMind is a separate treatment from the clinic’s skin and lifting work, and it is not a skin treatment. Where a mental health condition is present, it does not replace psychiatric care or prescribed medication — and prescribed medication should never be stopped or changed without your prescribing doctor.

FAQs

RegenMind & TMS — Your Questions

What is RegenMind? +

RegenMind is IN Eternity Clinic’s transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) programme. A coil placed against the scalp delivers brief magnetic pulses to the prefrontal cortex, prompting nerve cells there to fire. It is completely non-invasive — nothing breaks the skin or enters the body — and designed to be gentle, using lower-intensity stimulation; you stay awake throughout, and each session takes about 30 minutes. It is offered only after a medical assessment with Medical Director Dr Sin Yong.

What is RegenMind used for? +

RegenMind is used for mood, sleep and concentration. The evidence for TMS is strongest for mood, particularly depression. For sleep, a June 2026 review of 19 randomised trials in adults with insomnia disorder found TMS improved sleep quality compared with sham treatment, although most trials were small. For concentration, studies so far show small effects. What RegenMind may realistically offer you is discussed at assessment.

Is RegenMind the same as Exomind? +

No. Exomind is a TMS device made by BTL, using its ExoTMS technology; it is cleared by the US FDA for major depressive disorder in adults who have not improved on antidepressant medication. RegenMind uses the same underlying principle — TMS to the prefrontal cortex — but it is IN Eternity Clinic’s own programme and does not use the Exomind device. It uses lower-intensity stimulation for a gentler session. Because the intensity differs, results reported for Exomind should not be assumed to apply to RegenMind.

Can RegenMind help with sleep? +

TMS for sleep is a newer but growing area of research. A 2026 meta-analysis of 19 randomised controlled trials, involving 1,690 adults with insomnia disorder, found that TMS improved sleep quality and insomnia severity compared with sham treatment. The certainty of that evidence was rated moderate to low, mostly because the trials were small. Persistent poor sleep has many causes, so the cause is looked at first.

Can RegenMind improve concentration? +

Concentration is the least established of the three. Studies of TMS in healthy adults have found small effects on executive function — the planning and task-switching side of concentration — and researchers describe the benefit so far as limited. It is discussed at assessment alongside mood and sleep, with realistic expectations.

Is TMS available in Singapore? +

Yes. TMS for depression is offered within Singapore’s public healthcare system, including at the Institute of Mental Health and Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, as well as privately. At IN Eternity Clinic on Orchard Road, TMS is available as RegenMind following a doctor’s assessment.

Does RegenMind hurt? +

RegenMind is designed to be gentle, using lower-intensity stimulation. Most people describe a light tapping sensation on the scalp under the coil and a clicking sound, for which earplugs are provided. Some feel scalp discomfort or a mild headache in the first sessions, which usually eases as the course continues. No needles or anaesthesia are involved.

Is TMS safe? +

TMS has been used and studied for decades and is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are scalp discomfort and headache. Seizure is the most serious risk and is rare — reported at well under one in ten thousand sessions in published safety data — which is why every patient is screened for seizure risk, implanted devices and metal in or near the head before starting.

How many RegenMind sessions will I need? +

TMS works as a course rather than a single visit, because its effect builds with repeated sessions. Conventional daily TMS protocols for depression commonly run to 20–30 sessions or more over several weeks, while Exomind courses are often marketed as shorter. The number of RegenMind sessions is set at your assessment and reviewed as the course progresses.

Can I stop my antidepressants if I have RegenMind? +

No. Never stop or change prescribed medication without your prescribing doctor. RegenMind is not a replacement for psychiatric care or medication. If you are under the care of a psychiatrist or another doctor for a mental health condition, IN Eternity Clinic will, with your permission, coordinate with them.

Who should not have RegenMind? +

TMS is generally not suitable for people with metal in or near the head (such as aneurysm clips, cochlear implants or brain stimulators), pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices, or a history of epilepsy or seizures. Pregnancy, bipolar disorder and medicines that lower the seizure threshold need individual review. Anyone having thoughts of self-harm or suicide needs urgent care rather than an elective clinic procedure.

Is there any downtime after RegenMind? +

No recovery period is needed. You stay awake throughout, can drive afterwards and can return to work the same day. A mild headache after early sessions is the most common after-effect.

How much does RegenMind cost in Singapore? +

The cost depends on the course that is appropriate for you, which is set at your assessment. IN Eternity Clinic explains the full plan and its cost at consultation, before anything is booked.

Can RegenMind be combined with aesthetic treatments? +

RegenMind is a separate treatment from IN Eternity Clinic’s skin and lifting treatments, and it is not a skin treatment. Some patients schedule it on the same visit as other care for convenience; whether that suits you is decided at assessment.
