Is the Laser Safe?
 
Low Level Laser Light Therapy works by stimulating a cell’s natural metabolism. The effects are biochemical, not thermal & therefore cannot damage living cells (Karu, 1998, 1999, 2002). Low level lasers have been ruled a “Non-Significant Risk” devices by the FDA, are non-invasive and drug free.
 
Is It Guaranteed?
 
Low Level Laser Therapy may help individuals cope with symptoms associated with quitting smoking. The low-level laser does not take away your psychological addiction to nicotine. Each individual has a unique level to his or her addiction, so laser therapy cannot be guaranteed. We will work closely with each individual to support you in your goals to quit smoking. 
 
Is The Treatment  Covered by Medical Insurance?
 
The laser treatment is not covered by medical insurance at the present time. However, the cost of the treatment is approximately equal to the amount of money an average smoker spends on cigarettes monthly. Do the calculations yourself.
 
What about weight gain?
 
When a smoker gives up nicotine their metabolism will start to slow down as their body withdraws from nicotine. During the stop smoking treatment our technician will apply the laser to certain points on your body to help suppress your appetite. You should not gain weight while your metabolism is returning to its natural state, which lasts for approximately two weeks.

2. Do not drink alcohol one day prior to your treatment.
3. Do not smoke cigarette one hour before your treatment.
