What is laser therapy?
Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is a safe and effective way to help people quit smoking, vaping nicotine, alcohol, marijuana, drugs, stress, pain and more. The treatment is a non-invasive, safe and holistic method for promoting strong healing responses in the body. Low level laser light is applied to specific points on the ears, head, arms, legs and other tissues.
How does laser therapy work?
The purpose of laser therapy to help people quit addictions like smoking is to stimulate a strong release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins – the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. This helps to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms in order to break the addiction cycle to nicotine. The end goal is to drastically make it easier for people to quit addictions for good.
How does laser therapy treatment feel?
Most people find that laser therapy is very relaxing with minimal side-effects. Some report that during treatment they feel a warm and pleasant “heavy” feeling in their arms and legs.
