Laser treatment works to help you quit smoking by taking away the physical ‘urge’ or ‘need’ to smoke. We
do this by using a bio-stimulation laser that is completely painless. This is the same laser used in dentistry, pain
therapy and wound healing.
When you smoke a cigarette, your blood pressure and heart rate increases. To counteract this, your body
releases an elevated amount of a chemical called an endorphin. This chemical not only helps to get your heart
rate and blood pressure back under control, it also is the chemical that gives you a calm, relaxed and pleasurable feeling from smoking. This calm and relaxed feeling lasts for about 15 minutes then ultimately leaves you feeling empty again and needing another cigarette.
One Laser Treatment can stimulate your body’s production of endorphins at a slightly higher level than what
you can get by smoking, thereby giving you the same physically relaxed feeling you get from smoking.
This effect lasts consistently for about 15 days total. By doing this treatment we can effectively take away the
physical ‘urge’ or ‘need’ for ci******es for more than enough time to allow you to adjust to your new life as a
non-smoker. You should feel just as physically calm and relaxed over the next 15 days as you would if you
were still smoking.
The Laser will be placed on clusters of nerve endings or pressure points around the ears, nose, hands and
wrists. These areas have nothing to do with quitting smoking. We are simply stimulating those nerve endings to
cause your body to release the relaxing endorphin. You may feel a little warmth or tingling on some areas.
Other areas you may not feel anything at all.
After the Treatment you should feel a little relaxed just as you would if you had just smoked a cigarette. This
is exactly how we want you to feel throughout your full quitting experience. You can go on about your daily business as normal.
Laser Treatment will not make you quit smoking if you don’t want to quit. Laser Treatment will give you a
physically relaxed feeling that will take away the need to smoke and all withdrawal feelings, thus helping you
make the right decisions to continue to be a non-smoker.
