Stop Smoking Laser Therapy


What is Laser Therapy?

Smoking addiction is caused by nicotine, which increases production of endorphins (the body's natural painkillers), leaving smokers dependent on high levels of this chemical.
Laser beans have been used for a number of years in therapeutic treatments. 
A soft laser light is used to stimulate acupuncture points on the ear, face and hands in order to treat the addiction. 
This low level therapy uses a comfortable relaxing treatment protocol that is painless, drug free and safe.

The Treatment

When applied to specific points along the central nervous system, the laser stimulates the production of endorphins, which are natural chemical pain suppressors produced by your body.  The increased production of this chemical will suppress your urge for nicotine and help keep you calm and relaxed.  This makes it easier to cope with the addiction, withdrawal symptoms and cravings that arise from giving up nicotine. 

Treatment points are those that involve craving, withdrawal, anxiety, as well as a number of appetite suppression points to avoid overeating or transferring addiction to food.  A treatment session generally lasts approximately 30 minutes.

The smoking cessation treatment has been highly effective worldwide and our therapist has been authorized through IRB approval to operate in Indiana under investigational clinical trials for smoking cessation treatment.  Our therapist is trained and certified as part of our inclusion in the research.
