Can cold lasers be used to help people stop smoking or loseweight?
Cold laser is also used in smoking cessation and weight loss programs by those who learn this multifaceted treatment. I feel this has to be part of a multi displinary treatment plan. Laser cannot do it all with these problems, but skilled practitioners are making strides in carefully selected and motivated patients. Educational material is available on use. Many IRB’s or Clinical Trials are studying the effect of cold laser therapy as part of stop smoking programs. Barry Ungerleider, D.O.
