How Laser Therapy can help you quit?

 

 Non-invasive, painless, drugless therapy aimed to biostimulate your body's natural hormone energy flow points to relieve the pain associated with physical withdrawal symptoms from nicotine.

 

 Helps the body heal itself & triggers release of endorphins, the natural "feel good"  chemicals the body uses to relieve pain and stress.

 

  When smokers try to cut back or quit, the absence of nicotine leads to withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal is both physical and mental. Physically, the body is reacting to the absence of nicotine. Psychologically, you are faced with giving up a a habit, which is a major change in behavior. Both must be dealt with if quitting is to be successful.  

 

 Used to alleviate nicotine addiction, weight loss, reduce stress, manage pain. The laser can help the irritability, short temper, and feelings of anxiety associated with giving up an addiction.

 

 

The Process

   Nicotine addiction is more than simply a chemical dependency, our treatment includes:

     1. Relieving the physical need for nicotine without using nicotine.

     2. Addressing the psychological aspects of addiction.

     3. Supporting the body through nutrition to rid it of toxic chemicals.

 

Since nicotine is an appetite suppressant, many clients are concerned about gaining weight after their treatment. If this is a concern for you, we can trigger additional points to help suppress your appetite and stimulate your metabolic rate.
