If you are pregnant, have cancer or epilepsy, or are taking photosensitive medication, laser therapy should not be used for smoking cessation treatment. Laser therapy promotes cell growth and repair, so studies are inconclusive on the effects of the above situations. Not treating these particular clients is a precautionary measure. Midwest Laser Centers does not diagnose or treat illness or prescribe medication. Laser therapy is not intended to replace medical care. We recommend that you consult your physician for a professional diagnosis of your health.
