Smoking Cessation
Laser Therapy
Your life is worth more than the next hit.
Laser therapy for smoking cessation is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-power lasers to stimulate the release of endorphins. This helps with nicotine withdrawal and cravings during the first few days of quitting.
What is Laser Therapy?
How it works
The laser targets specific points on the body, such as the hands, arms, and ears, to stimulate the release of the natural chemicals without needing to smoke. This helps to reduce nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms and can also help to prevent weight gain.
Benefits
Laser therapy is similar in methodology to traditional acupuncture, but is gentle, painless, and is suitable for people of all ages. This procedure aids in finally quitting smoking for good. Additional benefits may include assisting in weight loss, managing insomnia and anxiety, and promoting relaxation.
Side effects
This procedure is usually well tolerated with negligible side effects; however, some people may experience mild and temporary effects. These can include slight skin irritation, dizziness, headaches, and fatigue.
Contraindications
Some health conditions like pregnancy, seizures, epilepsy, and certain eye diseases are not suited for this treatment. Please check with your healthcare provider and our staff before proceeding.
