HOW OUR LASER TREATMENTS WORK

 

Working on the same centuries-old principles as acupuncture, laser therapy is a holistic approach to heal the body, reducing tension while increasing circulation, and enabling the body to relax more deeply.

Increase your body’s endorphins naturally to feel calm.

Smoking causes your body to increase it’s level of “endorphins”– the body’s natural calming chemicals. When you stop smoking, the endorphins drop suddenly, causing the “craving” you experience. Laser therapy promotes the release of endorphins for the first three to five days of nicotine withdrawal, reducing your cravings during the most stressful period associated with quitting smoking.

WE MAKE QUITTING EASY

This holistic, non invasive laser procedure has had an 85% success rate and is gaining worldwide popularity and renown as one of the top methods for quitting smoking available today.

When specific energy points on the body are stimulated with cold Low Level Lasers instead of needles, the results can be simply amazing!

The laser light is applied to several external acupressure energy points on the hands, ears, nose, wrist, feet or arms where it stimulates the nerve endings underneath the skin. This in turn stimulates the release of endorphins (the body's natural mood elevators) in the body, much in the way that nicotine, when inhaled, releases endorphins that make the smoker feel relaxed. Endorphins give us relief from pain and stress and a general sense of well being.

The effects of the laser are immediate and you will feel the tension leaving your body. You will feel calm, safe and relaxed during the treatment and will experience no pain or discomfort, nor any other effects other than perhaps a slight tingling sensation. Some clients even fall asleep. Some people even enjoy the endorphin stimulation so much that they come back for a second treatment just to get another dose of that natural high!

NO MORE CRAVINGS

Less than 1 hour of low light laser anti-smoking treatment can change the way you think and feel about your nicotine addiction. It can significantly reduce cravings and other uncomfortable symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. Most people find that the physical urge to smoke is greatly diminished or gone altogether after just one Cold Laser Treatment.

Although many clients only require one treatment to successfully quit smoking and alleviate cravings, we include 3 booster treatments in our Quit Smoking Package to be used within up to 8 weeks after the initial treatment. We will also give you tips on how to handle the psychological aspects associated with smoking to support your success.

HOW MUCH MONEY WILL YOU SAVE?

COST OF SMOKING

If you are spending $12 a day on a pack of cigarettes, that is costing you $360 per month, or over $4300 per year!

By spending just $450, you can save yourself more than $3900 in just one year after you quit.

That adds up to over $21000 after just five years.

​What will you do with all the extra money you save?

STOP SMOKING IN LESS THAN 1 HOUR

We feel sure that low light laser therapy will help you to kick the smoking habit just as it has helped thousands of people before you. We are confident that we can help you to come to grips with the physical addiction. However, cigarettes are both a physical and mental habit and you will have more success with the psychological aspects of your addiction if you are truly committed to your goal. We will work with you to support your success.

Laser Therapy can help you to quit nicotine products in only one hour; without the use of any medication or nicotine replacement products such as gums, patches, nasal sprays, inhalers or lozenges.  The effects are immediate  and last for up to an entire month, until your system has completely detoxified.

We use the most advanced technology in non-invasive laser therapy to eliminate withdrawal and cravings.

​If you are ready to quit, we will make it faster and easier for you to finally end your addiction. We will support you every step of the way.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER QUITTING SMOKING

HOW TO HANDLE CRAVINGS

 

Cravings are most frequent in the first few days after quitting. Remember that generally cravings only last about 15 minutes. To get through cravings practice the 4 D’s: Drink water, Distract yourself, Deep breathing, Delay your smoking urge.

 

DAYS 1 - 7

DIZZINESS

Light-headedness, dizziness  are common symptoms of withdrawal from nicotine. As a smoker, the carbon monoxide from the cigarette smoke prevented a healthy supply of oxygen from reaching your brain. After quitting, oxygen levels increase to normal which may cause dizziness.

DAYS 2 - 3

Increased Appetite

After quitting, you may confuse nicotine cravings with hunger pangs. You may also have a better sense of taste as the nerve endings in your mouth and nose regrow. Thus, you may feel like eating more. Take control of your appetite – be careful not to replace cigarettes with food. Have healthy, low-fat snacks readily available and drink plenty of water.

DAYS 2 - 12

Dry Throat/Mouth

This occurs as your body gets rid of mucous that has blocked airways and restricted breathing. Drink plenty of water; use cough drops, gum or sugar-free candy.

WEEKS 1 - 4

The “Blues”

Many people who quit go through a process of grieving – very much like losing a job, a friend or anything of value to you. Exercise is the best tool to improve your mood. To get started, try a brisk 15-20 minute walk. Other suggestions include talking to a friend, journaling, or volunteering in your community.

WEEKS 2 - 4

Increased Coughing

This is a sign that the natural cleansing system in your lungs is working better. Your body is clearing and detoxifying the mucous that has blocked airways and made it difficult for you to breathe. Drink plenty of water.

WEEKS 2 - 4

INSOMNIA

Nicotine affects brain wave functioning and may change your sleep patterns. It is common in the first few days after quitting to wake up frequently during the night. Coughing during the night may also contribute to wakefulness. Some people find an evening walk, exercising, reading, or cutting back on caffeine helpful.

WEEKS 2 - 3

IRRITABILITY

Be aware that you may feel irritable after quitting. This is caused by the body’s craving for nicotine. Distract yourself by engaging in a hobby or exercise. Reward yourself for the progress you have made – go out for dinner, watch a movie, or buy yourself a special treat.

WEEKS 2 - 4

FEELING TIRED

Nicotine is a drug; it is a stimulant that gives you a lift. This symptom will lessen over time and your energy level will increase.
