At Casa Privée, Miami’s premier personalized luxury medical center, we are dedicated to providing effective longevity services, regenerative medicine, and rapid healing treatments with exceptional customer care. Our highly successful addition, the NeuroStar TMS Therapy, allows us to offer clients an innovative and effective solution for depression, addiction, and other mental health conditions. With NeuroStar TMS Therapy, we harness advanced technology to target underactive areas of the brain, helping you achieve a balanced and healthier mental state of mind for a life best lived and loved.
What is NeuroStar TMS Therapy?
NeuroStar uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to target key areas of the brain that are underactive in people with depression. Unlike electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), NeuroStar TMS Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that does not involve anesthesia or sedation.
The leading scientific theory suggests that depression is caused by an imbalance in the brain’s neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that send signals between brain cells. NeuroStar TMS Therapy aims to correct this imbalance, offering a new hope for those struggling with depression.
How NeuroStar TMS Therapy Works
Before Treatment
- You’ll recline comfortably in the treatment chair.
- A small, curved magnetic coil will be positioned lightly on your head.
During Treatment
- NeuroStar delivers focused magnetic stimulation directly to the target areas of the brain.
- You’ll hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation on your head.
After Treatment
- Treatment sessions last between 19 and 37 minutes, depending on your doctor’s recommendation.
- You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
- There are no negative effects on memory or sleep, and you can drive yourself to and from sessions.
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is typically administered 5 days a week for approximately 4-6 weeks. With more than three million treatments delivered, this novel approach is bringing new hope to people every day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?
TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression, typically used when antidepressant medications haven’t been effective.
How does TMS work?
TMS involves delivering magnetic pulses to specific parts of the brain.
How long is NeuroStar TMS Treatment?
A typical initial course of treatment is about 19-37 minutes daily over 4-6 weeks.Is TMS Therapy covered by my insurance? Most commercial and Medicare plans cover TMS Therapy.
Is TMS Therapy covered by my insurance?

Conditions and coverage can vary by insurance company, and your NeuroStar Team Lead will help you determine your benefits and coverage. We also offer cash-pay and patient financing options if desired. Talk with your NeuroStar representative for more details.
Is TMS Therapy a good alternative for patients who cannot tolerate the side effects of antidepressant medications?
Yes, TMS does not circulate in the blood throughout the body, avoiding systemic side effects like weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and nausea.
Is TMS Therapy like other alternative therapies that use magnets?
No, TMS Therapy uses pulsed magnetic fields that are much stronger and directed compared to the static magnetic fields used in other products.
Does it work?
In a study of “real-world” outcomes (meaning actual NeuroStar patients), 83% of people who completed the full NeuroStar treatment cycle experienced a measurable decrease in the severity of their depression, and 62% of those completing treatment saw full remission – meaning their depression effectively “went away.”
Does it hurt?
While there may be some minor discomfort at the treatment site (where the device touches your head), it generally subsides within the first week of treatment. There is no sedation or impact on your alertness. You can read, watch TV, or talk with your treatment coordinator during your session, and you can drive home immediately after treatment.
