Launches Mental Wellness Revolution with Exomind by BTL
Leading global skin authority turns her attention inward — unveiling the mental wellness breakthrough of 2025.
“Beauty isn’t just what you see in the mirror — it’s how you feel in your mind. That’s where real transformation begins.” — Nilam Holmes
Nilam Holmes is more than the woman behind the world’s most flawless faces — she’s a visionary reshaping the definition of beauty itself.
If you don’t know Holmes, you’ve almost certainly seen her work. A pioneer in the beauty and aesthetics space, Holmes has been quietly shaping faces — and the industry itself — for over two decades. With more than 25 years at the forefront of the beauty and aesthetics industry, Holmes is one of the UK’s most trusted and respected skin experts. Known as the original Eyebrow Queen and a trailblazer in the cosmetic world, Holmes began her journey at just 19, launching her own salon before going on to revolutionize the UK brow industry with the creation of the HD Brows brand in 2003.
Her career spans every facet of beauty — from permanent makeup and skin health to product innovation and luxury clinic design. She is a globally sought-after practitioner whose client list reads like a red-carpet roll call, and her treatments have graced some of the most recognizable faces in fashion, music, and film.
As the founder of DermaSpa, one of the UK’s premier skin and aesthetic
clinics, Holmes has built a reputation for combining cutting-edge science with an intuitive, holistic approach to beauty. Her collaborations with top doctors and cosmetic surgeons have further cemented her status as a leading authority in non- invasive aesthetic treatments, including the acclaimed Collagenwave® therapy.
From the runways of London to the soundstages of prime-time television, Holmes has left her mark. Now, with her latest launch — Exomind by BTL — she’s setting her sights on the final frontier of beauty: the mind.
There’s a reason Holmes is hailed as the Queen of Skin. The A-list aesthetician
is responsible for some of the most luminous, camera-ready complexions in the world. Known for her meticulous eye and commitment to science-led beauty, Holmes has always stayed one step ahead of the skincare curve. But now, she’s turning her attention to something deeper than skin. As 2025 shapes up to be the from doctors providing vitamin infusions to physical therapists, nutritionists, and mental coaches — to provide my clients with more than just aesthetic treatments.
I have noticed my client demographic has become so much more diverse, particularly over the last seven years, with a significant increase in male clients. In fact, my personal client list now consists of over 50 percent men. I have clients of all ages, and although I still work with a lot of ‘famous’ faces, I’ve seen a big increase in the number of high-level corporate professionals coming through the door. So many people are experiencing high levels of stress and burnout, and they want to fix the negative effects these factors are having on their skin. I want to give them more than great skin. I want to bring them peace of mind so they can feel as good as they look. That’s why I’m bringing in the latest in well-being treatments — and Exomind is at the heart of it.”
Exomind is a groundbreaking new system powered by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) — a trusted technology for over 40 years and FDA-approved since 2008. What sets Exomind apart is its speed and simplicity: just six 25-minute sessions — no medication, needles, or downtime.
By stimulating the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), the region responsible for emotional regulation and cognitive clarity, Exomind enhances neuroplasticity to support mental resilience, mood balance, and clarity of thought.
“I use it myself. I’ve had too many moments where everything has felt overwhelming
— running multiple businesses, being in demand constantly, traveling all the time, and menopause, with all that brings, has left me feeling constantly burnt out. I have always supplemented my wellness with different therapies and supplements and, although I could physically perform well, there was always a constant mental fatigue
The Mind Behind the Beauty wellness breakthrough of 2025.
year of total well-being, Holmes is leading a new frontier in beauty, launching the Exomind by BTL system at her renowned residency at the Nobu Hotel in London. We sat down with Holmes to talk skincare, burnout, emotional balance, and why
this new non-invasive, brain-boosting treatment could be the most powerful wellness innovation yet.
“Over the years, I’ve seen how much our mental and emotional health affects our skin, sleep, digestion, aging and, well, just about everything. Even though I’m known for results-driven treatments using science and tech-based devices, for me, beauty
is still holistic and comes from within. I work alongside various professionals —
and terrible sleep. Exomind has genuinely helped me reset — and it’s something I wanted my clients to benefit from. I already have several systems because the demand has been phenomenal. Clients say they sleep better, feel calmer, lighter, and more present. And they look it too. You can
see the shift in their energy. Many have lost weight, and some have even stopped drinking and smoking.”
Backed by extensive clinical research, Exomind is already making waves in the U.S. following its January 2025 launch, where it’s used to support cognitive clarity, mood regulation, burnout recovery, and relief from anxiety and brain fog. In clinical trials, 98% of patients reported improved clarity of thought, and 92% experienced
better emotional balance after just a few sessions. The treatment is 100% non- invasive and drug-free, with benefits that can last for a month after the final session. “This is great for absolutely anyone. I’ve had CEOs, new mums, creatives — even people going through big life transitions. BTL
has identified profiles like the overworked executive, the wellness seeker, the burnout survivor, and the creatively blocked artist. If you’re feeling mentally overloaded, emotionally depleted, or just want to optimize your inner world — Exomind can help.”
Holmes has teamed up with consultant anesthetists Dr. William Buxton and
Dr. William Turner — also known as The Effect Doctors — who have looked after her clients’ health and wellness needs for many years. Clients are booked in for a consultation before beginning a recommended course of six treatments
at Holmes’ residency at Nobu. Top-ups can be tailored based on individual needs and responses. While Exomind has already launched in select clinics across the U.S., CCR 2025 will mark its official UK debut. “It’s the future. I’ve worked hard to bring my clients glowing, happy skin, and I want to provide them with refuge and peace for their minds too. I’m proud to be one of the first to bring Exomind to the UK because
I genuinely believe it’s life-changing. It’s the missing piece in the beauty-wellness puzzle.”
