Addiction to nicotine

Nicotine is physically and mentally addictive. Nicotine enters the blood within 10 seconds and begins to alter the brain functions. Endorphins are released each time you have nicotine promoting the feeling of well-being. The person using nicotine gets a rush of endorphins and causes a "high" feeling which is why people like it.

What is laser therapy?

Laser therapy is a highly effective treatment to quit smoking. A low-powered laser is applied to areas on your ears, face and hands.

Every time you have a smoke, or use nicotine products, your body releases endorphins; these make you feel relaxed and calm. The mild tingling sensation from the laser treatment stimulates a massive release of endorphins to physically replace the need for nicotine. The effect of the laser treatment lasts at a high level for 4-6 weeks. Meanwhile cravings and withdrawal are almost completely eliminated.

Laser therapy deals with all three parts of the addiction - without medications or side effects:

  1. Physical – After the laser treatment, cravings and withdrawal are almost eliminated.
  2. Psychological – During the treatment you learn how to recognize and deal with triggers, how to stop thinking about nicotine and positive ways to cope.
  3. Detox – You take natural supplements to help cleanse the toxic chemicals from your body.

This comprehensive therapy is an extremely effective way to end the addiction.
