The Exablate Neuro is approved in the Philippines for the creation of a lesion for the treatment for a range of conditions including Essential Tremor. This technology is in use in the USA, Canada, Europe, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.

The lesion created in the brain during the Exablate Neuro treatment procedure is made simply by heating the area. The temperature required to make this ablation is only possible at the focal point of the beams. A single beam is harmless, as it does not carry enough energy to damage brain cells. Only the targeted area of the brain will be altered.
The effects of the Exablate Neuro treatment for Essential Tremor are constantly monitored throughout the procedure as the patient is left awake. Symptoms will gradually decrease until a satisfactory result is achieved, observable immediately after the treatment.
Fully-reversible sonications at lower temperatures give the clinician a temporary window into the effects of the treatment at higher energies. This means doctors can simulate the effect of targeting a particular area before making the lesion.
More than 4000 patients around the world have been treated for Essential Tremor using the Exablate Neuro procedure.
Your first contact should be your GP, who may refer you to a neurologist if they believe you should be treated for the condition. They may refer you to a Neurologist or Neurosurgeon familiar with Exablate Neuro treatment and the alternatives, as this is a specialised field. You may ask your neurologist about the Exablate Neuro treatment procedure and whether you may be a candidate. If you have already been diagnosed with the condition, you may contact the hospital or a neurologist directly.
