Laser Light Therapy to Quit Smoking

If you're a smoker, you know how hard it is to quit. Over the years, several quitting methods have been developed. If you've tried some of these techniques and failed, don't give up hope. Laser light therapy is a new method that has already been proven successful for thousands of men and women. Laser therapy may be just what you need to commit to a smoke-free life.

  1. Function

    • Laser light therapy treatments are designed to help individuals quit smoking by stimulating the production of endorphins in order to curb cravings. By pulsing the laser light over certain body points, energy travels along body meridians and stimulates the natural production of endorphins.

    Features

    • Pulsed laser light targets specific body areas, including the arms, hands, wrists, ears and the sides of the nose (these areas are similar to acupuncture points). These areas are said to be gateways to energy pathways or meridians that connect to major internal organs and overall body function.

    Time Frame

    • Most individuals will need only a single laser treatment to quit smoking. Treatments typically last for about 30 minutes, but can be a little bit longer depending on each individual's specific addiction level.

    Warning

    • Some patients may feel dizziness or lightheadedness immediately following treatment. It is recommended that patients do not go to treatment by themselves in case one of these side effects occurs.

    Considerations

    • The natural production of endorphins has been proven to curb the body's demand for nicotine. However, this laser treatment does not work to break the physical habit of smoking. Those who undergo treatment will have to work hard to substitute the physical motion of picking up a cigarette with something more constructive.
