Quitting Smoking Is Hard...

We Make It Easy!

An easy, painless way to stop smoking. The treatment eliminates the physical craving for nicotine and alleviates withdrawal symptoms. For what you pay in just a few weeks for cigarettes, you can become smoke-free for good.

How Laser Therapy can help you quit?

When smokers try to cut back or quit, the absence of nicotine leads to withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal is both physical and mental. Physically, the body is reacting to the absence of nicotine. Psychologically, you are faced with giving up a habit, which is a major change in behavior. Both must be dealt with if quitting is to be successful.    

Used to treat nicotine addiction, stimulate weight loss, reduce stress, manage pain. The laser can help take away the irritability, short temper, and feelings of anxiety associated with giving up an addiction.

The Process

Because nicotine addiction is more than simply a chemical dependency, our treatment includes:

1. Relieving the physical need for nicotine without using nicotine.
2. Addressing the psychological aspects of addiction.
3. Supporting the body through nutrition to rid it of toxic chemicals.

Since nicotine is an appetite suppressant, many clients are concerned about gaining weight after their treatment. If this is a concern for you, we can trigger additional points to help suppress your appetite and stimulate your metabolic rate.

What to expect during a laser therapy session

• We highly recommend you stop smoking 1-hour prior to your session. (Not required)
• Therapy will take place with a laser technician who will gently stimulate acupuncture points, primarily on the hands, face and ear.
• During the session the emotional and psychological aspects of quitting smoking will be addressed. 
• During and after treatment you'll feel relaxed, comfortable and peaceful. There is no pain associated with the treatment.
• Afterwards you'll be able to go back to your normal activities. Most notable effects occur between 18-24 hours after the treatment.

• In general, it takes the average smoker 3-4 days to rid the body of nicotine or its by-products after stopping.

FAQ's 

Low-level laser has been deemed by the FDA as a non-significant risk device. It is a bio-stimulation laser not a surgical laser. Because of the low power nature of low level therapy lasers, the effects are biochemical and not thermal so you will feel no pain associated with the therapy. Low-level Laser Therapy is completely painless. In fact, most people describe an extremely relaxed feeling after being treated.

How effective is it?

Clinical studies show success worldwide in the suppression of physical withdrawal and cravings. We recommend two sessions to ensure long-term success, but most of our clients quit with only one treatment. 

The laser that we use is approved as a "non-significant risk device by the FDA, however, the treatment of smoking cessation and weight loss with low level laser is under clinical trials monitored by the FDA. Therefore, we are conducting research trials for both smoking and weight loss.  The purpose of these trials is to establish the effectiveness of the treatment with low-level laser on nicotine addiction and weight loss. You will be given and informed consent prior to treatment which will be reviewed with you by one of our approved research investigators.

Prior to receiving treatment you will be asked to sign an informed consent, and then you will be enrolled in the trial. Once you are enrolled and receive the treatment, you will be followed for 3 - 6 months, depending on which treatment you are receiving.  

Is it guaranteed?

Unfortunately, because of the complexities of the psychological side of the addiction, no one can force you to stop smoking, but we can help to eliminate the withdrawal and physical cravings with the use of this treatment.

Nicotine addiction consists of two factors: the physical addiction and the mental addiction. The laser treatment is designed to relieve the physical withdrawal symptoms, but will not give you amnesia! If you have smoked a pack a day for thirty years, this means you will be making a huge change to your daily routine when you quit. Even if you experience NO physical symptoms, you will still think about smoking. Therefore, while we can not make a guarantee, we will do everything in our power to ensure your success. Laser treatment + education + your commitment = a winning combination. 

We are specially trained to help you eliminate your emotional desire to smoke and will give you nutritional guidelines to help your body detoxify itself very quickly.
