Frequently Asked Questions

Ottawa Laser Solutions With Lazer Dave

 

GENERAL FAQ PAGE

This is the General Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page. For answers to more specific questions about each Laser Quit Program, please refer to the Services Menu. If after reading over this page and Laser Quit Program page of interest you still have a question that is unanswered — feel free to contact Lazer Dave directly for a phone consultation. Contact info at the bottom of this page.

What is Low-Level Laser Stimulation (LLLS)?

Low-Level Laser Stimulation (LLLS) is a non-invasive, wellness-based technique that uses gentle, low-intensity laser light applied to specific energy points on the body. At Ottawa Laser Solutions, LLLS is used as part of a supportive wellness approach for individuals who have decided to quit or reduce smoking, nicotine, alcohol, marijuana, or other substances. LLLS is not a medical treatment and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any health condition, including substance use disorders. Clients are encouraged to consult their doctor before making changes to health-related routines.

How does LLLS work?

LLLS may help promote relaxation and support the body’s natural rebalancing by encouraging the release of endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine. These naturally occurring neurotransmitters can play a supportive role in easing the transition away from substance use by helping reduce tension and emotional discomfort.

What does LLLS feel like?

Most clients describe the experience as relaxing and pleasant. Some notice gentle sensations such as warmth, light pressure, or a calm “heaviness” in the body. Others may feel very little during the session.

Where is the laser applied?

Gentle laser light is applied to specific energy points on the body, typically on the feet, hands, ears, nose, head, and face. No needles are used.

Is LLLS safe?

Yes, LLLS is generally well-tolerated and considered safe when used appropriately. Protective eyewear is provided for every session. Contraindications often include epilepsy, pregnancy, extreme photosensitivity, active cancer, or recent seizure activity. Clients should consult a doctor regarding such health concerns. For more, visit our blog: Is Laser Therapy Safe?

Are results guaranteed?

No. Just as medications cannot be guaranteed to work for everyone, results with LLLS are not guaranteed. While many clients report significant support and relief, individual experiences sometimes vary.

Can I try just one treatment?

Each Laser Quit Program includes two sessions, as results are typically stronger when both are completed. Booster sessions may be recommended in more challenging cases.

What if I have more than one concern?

Clients dealing with multiple substance habits (e.g., nicotine and alcohol) are encouraged to begin with one and see how their body responds. With this approach, many clients find they find confidence in choosing which substance they want to cut back most on first. Lazer Dave will tailor the laser sessions to your needs. Additional booster sessions may be required for multi-habit concerns, long-standing habits, and challenging situations or conditions.

How long is each session?

Initial appointments are approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Follow-up and booster sessions are usually 30 to 45 minutes.

How should I prepare for my first session?

After booking your session and submitting the $50 deposit, you will receive the Laser Quit Prep Guide via email. This guide offers wellness-based suggestions to help you prepare for your session. Clients are expected to review at least the first two pages and begin applying relevant strategies. Preparation is key to getting the most out of your LLLS experience.

Do you offer discounts?

Yes. A 10% discount is available for groups of two or more booking together. This must be requested at the time of scheduling and cannot be applied retroactively.

How long do results last?

Many clients report noticeable changes almost immediately, especially if they take some practical measures as those suggested in Dave’s Laser Quit Prep Guide ahead of time. For some, it can take a full 24 hours of abstinence plus a laser session to realize positive results. For challenging situations, many find results strengthen after the second session. Additional booster sessions often reinforce benefits over time. Despite high effectiveness rates as reported by some scientific studies using laser to quit bad habits, results cannot be guaranteed — just like medications don’t come with any guarantees.

What about medical conditions?

Ottawa Laser Solutions does not diagnose or treat medical conditions. Clients with concerns such as pregnancy, epilepsy, photosensitivity or serious substance use concerns should consult a doctor or appropriate health care before booking. LLLS is offered solely as a wellness-based support.

Do I Need to Stop My Habit Before My First Session?

You are strongly encouraged to consult your doctor or healthcare provider before reducing or stopping any habit involving smoking, alcohol, marijuana, or similar — especially in cases of long-term or intense use.

Wellness-based suggestions are included in the Laser Quit Prep Guide, which help many prepare and build positive momentum before a laser quit session. The guide and the suggestions contained therein, are provided for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for medical care.

Who performs the sessions? What will my receipt show?

All sessions are provided by 1530910 Ontario Limited, operating publicly as Ottawa Laser Solutions. Services are delivered by “Lazer Dave,” the Laser Quit Specialist. Receipts are issued as-is under the business name and labeled with a description such as: “Laser Quit – Smoking Program” or “Laser Quit – Booster Session.” Receipts cannot be modified or altered.

What do the Laser Quit Programs cost?

  • Laser Quit Smoking or Vaping Nicotine Program: $300 + HST (includes 2 sessions + Prep Guide)

  • Laser Quit Alcohol, Marijuana or Sugar Programs: $350 + HST (includes 2 sessions + Prep Guide)

  • $50 deposit is required to confirm your booking on initial program registration. This fee is applied towards the program cost which is due in full at the end of your first session.

  • Booster Sessions: $85 + HST each.

Do you include appetite support?

Yes. Appetite-related energy points are stimulated as part of every program if desired to support balanced eating and reduce snacking urges. This is included at no extra — many clinics offering similar services charge an extra $100 for this.

Should I come in for the second session?

Yes. Even if you feel significantly better after just one session, the second visit reinforces results and supports long-term follow through.

When is the best time to book?

Book when you’re motivated to make a change. Ideally, avoid high-stress periods. However, there may never be a “perfect time” — your commitment is ultimately most important.

Can unused sessions be transferred?

No. Sessions are non-transferable and valid only for the individual who booked the program.

  • Physiocare Kanata (Tuesdays and Saturdays)
