Laser Therapy Treatments
At Smokeless Plus, the laser therapy treatments for smoking cessation and weight loss combine the modern technology of low-level laser with specific energy points on the body. As a result, it causes the release of the body's own natural endorphins and neurotransmitters, which have a calming effect on the central nervous system.

A pencil-sized probe is used on specific energy points on the body for approximately 20 to 40 seconds and creates a warm sensation, which is due to increased blood circulation. Each treatment takes 20-30 minutes and there is no discomfort to the client during or after the treatment.

The laser therapy treatments are safe, painless, drugless and highly effective. After 30 years of use, there are no known side effects associated with the laser therapy treatments. The benefits of laser therapy are well documented with more than 2500 research reports that have been published world-wide.

The success of the treatments increases with the exercise of will power and the commitment to making positive lifestyle changes.

Low-Level Lasers

LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. During the last three decades, low-level (non-surgical lasers) have been developed as an effective tool for the treatment of addictions, injuries, pain, wound healing and many other conditions and is now gaining widespread international acceptance. Low-level laser therapy can be used as a treatment modality either on its own or combination with other therapies in a great variety of situations to provide enhanced treatment results.

How Does Laser Therapy Work?

When tissue is irradiated with laser light, certain cell functions are stimulated. Small amounts of oxygen build up when the tissue is irradiated with laser light. The laser light influences the oxidative process. This laser light also improves blood circulation in tissue. Laser Therapy helps to balance endorphin levels, thus helping to control the addiction and the cravings. Light energy of the laser is absorbed by skin and cells to stimulate acupuncture points.

Will Laser Therapy Work for Me?

Not all people react in the same way to laser therapy, and one person may not always react the same way, depending on the condition of the tissue and immune system. As well, some pharmaceuticals can interfere with the laser therapy treatments and produce varied responses because of the blood levels of the pharmaceuticals and individual receptability. Some people may even experience drowsiness after laser treatments. Studies have shown that up to 80% of people who have received laser therapy treatments respond positively.
