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?

Laser Therapy helps individuals cope with withdrawals and physical symptoms associated with quitting smoking. It 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 in 2 weeks. Do the calculations yourself.

What about weight gain?

During the stop smoking treatment we will apply the laser to certain points on your body to help suppress your appetite. You should not gain significant weight and we can suppress your appetite again when you return for a booster session.
