SMOKING CESSATION
Nicotine Addiction Program 
The addiction to cigarettes has been compared
to the dependency of cocaine and heroin.
Over the years there have been many stop
smoking programs with varied results. Most
of these programs, including the “gum” and
the “patch”, have been drug (nicotine) based.
Common sense dictates that replacing an
addictive substance with another addictive
substance is not an effective form of
treatment.
The Total Laser Therapy program includes
a two sided approach. We deal with both
the physical and psychological sides of the
addiction. First we deal with the physical side,
the nasty withdrawal symptoms of the drug.
 
The Physical Side
The laser therapist uses a soft laser to target
energy points on the body. Focusing the laser
beam on these areas causes the body to
release natural chemicals called endorphins.
Endorphins have a calming, relaxing effect
on the body that helps to reduce nicotine
cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Some
clients report a feeling of euphoria following a
smoking cessation treatment with the laser.
In
addition to stimulating an endorphin release,
the laser stimulates the body’s natural ability
to detoxify, getting the ex-smoker through the
nicotine withdrawal more quickly. |

The Psychological Side
The therapist will educate and counsel you on
techniques, tips and helpful hints on how to
beat the psychological issues. In order to help
you succeed as a non-smoker, we will discuss
the differences between the physical and
psychological cravings, how to break the habit
as well as detox and supplements.
All clients
will receive a smokers handbook, a relaxation
CD and 2 months of follow-up.
