How does the Stop Smoking Laser Treatment work?
Stop smoking laser treatments aim to reduce and eventually eliminate the smoker’s nicotine cravings. Using a low-level laser, the light beam is directed at specific energy points on the body, face, ears, wrists, and hands. The procedure is similar to acupuncture, but with no pain; it is a gentle sensation. The laser beam causes endorphins to be released into the body, reducing not only the physical cravings for nicotine, but also the unpleasant symptoms associated with withdrawal. The patient usually experiences a calm and relaxed state. In addition, the procedure aids in reducing stress, resulting in improved sleeping patterns and overall well-being. How much time does the Stop Smoking Laser Treatment involve? Each case is different, but in general, patients need 3 to 5 sessions of about 30 minutes each. Those who feel a need for additional support can return for booster treatments; some clinics recommend these extra visits in order to ensure that the patient does not light up again.
