The Process
Laser therapy for involves a treatment session which is completely painless that usually takes far less than a half hour to complete in addition to the consultation time. While some people may need more than one treatment, many find that one is all that’s necessary. Everyone’s level of addiction is different and how they handle cravings, so don’t be discouraged if you need more than one session before you’re smoke-free.
During the actual session, the laser emits pulses of light which are absorbed into the skin and are directed at specific acupuncture pressure points located on the body, which are usually the ears, side of the nose, the arms, hands, and wrists.
Why It Works
Within the brain are chemicals and hormones known as endorphins, which are often referred to as the "feel good" hormone because they increase our feeling of well being and energy levels while also helping to decrease stress and tension at the same time.
When these chemicals are released by the brain into the body, they have been found to help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms commonly experienced when one tries to stop smoking.
