A Safe & Effective Way to Break the Habit
If you’re looking to quit smoking, you know how difficult it can be to break the habit. The cravings and withdrawal symptoms can be overwhelming, and it can be easy to fall back into the old routine. That’s where Lazer Dave and Ottawa Laser Therapy Solutions come in.
What Is Laser Therapy To Quit Smoking?
Laser therapy is a safe and effective way to help you quit smoking by reducing nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms — making it much easier for smokers to quit.
Lazer Dave applies gentle laser light (no needles) using sophisticated European low-level laser therapy technology to energy points on the face, ears, hands, and feet to naturally boost endorphins, promote brain neuroplasticity, and help break the habit of consuming nicotine products. The technique is based on medical acupuncture and auricular therapy but requires no needles.
Laser therapy is also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), cold laser therapy, laser acupuncture, and photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT).

How Does Laser Therapy Help Me Stop Smoking?
Low-intensity laser is applied to specific energy points (acupuncture points) on the ears, head, hands, and feet to stimulate the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins—the body’s natural feel-good chemicals.
In addition, emerging scientific evidence supports that low-intensity laser light therapy positively affects the brain’s neuroplasticity, which can help people incorporate positive habit changes into their lifestyles.
The benefits of increased neurotransmitter release and neuroplasticity enhancement combined can dramatically reduce nicotine cravings and help break the withdrawal cycle—with the end goal of making it easier to quit for good.

About Nicotine Withdrawal
Nicotine withdrawal has been said to parallel that of cocaine and heroin. This is partly due to the availability of tobacco and the dependent nature of nicotine. Over the past two decades, stop-smoking programs have come and gone. Most of these programs or strategies, including nicotine gum, the “patch,” and others, show a success rate of only 30-35%. Moreover, the patch and gum are nicotine-based – common sense dictates that you should not use nicotine to overcome nicotine!

Dave’s Approach To Helping You Quit Smoking Using Laser Therapy
Most important is your desire to quit. Subsequently, Dave subscribes to a 2 step approach in helping people overcome nicotine withdrawal using laser therapy:
STEP ONE — COMMIT + PREPARE
Quitting smoking begins with a strong commitment to change. After you make your first appointment and complete the deposit, reception will email you the Laser Quit Therapy Prep Guide.
The Prep Guide outlines Key Habit Change suggestions, supplements, and other information that, when combined with laser quit therapy, dramatically increases the chances of quitting nicotine for good.
STEP TWO — LASER THERAPY TREATMENT
Use laser therapy to treat various energy points on the ears, face, hands, and feet to break and reduce the physiological withdrawal process from nicotine.
What Happens Before My First Laser Therapy Treatment To Stop Smoking?
You will be asked to complete an online health history form, make a deposit, and subsequently be emailed the Laser Quit Therapy Prep Guide. The Prep Guide contains essential information and Key Habit Change suggestions that will maximize your chances of successfully quitting for good. You must follow as many of the recommendations as possible to maximize results.
Please note: the Laser Quit Therapy Prep Guide is NOT a replacement for the advice or recommendations of a doctor, professional counseling, group support, or mental health support services.
What To Expect On Your First Laser Therapy Treatment To Quit Smoking
When you come for your first laser to quit smoking treatment, you will get comfortable by lying down on a comfortable treatment table while listening to relaxing music.
Dave will explain the procedure and ask you to wear protective eyewear. Dave will then use various laser devices to treat “energy” points on the face, ears, neck, arms, wrist, hands, lower legs, and feet.
You may feel a slight warm or tingling sensation through your body. As the points are stimulated with the laser light, your body should release endorphins and other powerful neurochemicals that promote a pleasant sense of relaxation.

What to Expect After Your First Laser Therapy Treatment To Quit Smoking
After your first Ottawa-Kanata laser therapy treatment for quitting smoking, you will likely feel relaxed and calm, and best of all, your desire for nicotine will likely have diminished. In addition to treating you with laser, Dave will review behavioral modification practices to increase your chances of quitting smoking for good.
While many find positive results with 1-2 treatments, a small percentage may require additional “booster” treatments for longer-term success.
Dave always recommends that clients complete the two treatments in the program fee before judging individual responses and results.
Is There Scientific Research For Laser Therapy Quit Smoking?
Despite what some doctors or skeptics might say about laser therapy, there is scientific evidence that supports the efficacy of stimulating energy points (acupuncture points) to quit nicotine, alcohol, marijuana, and more.
Conclusions: The PLA (Painless Laser Acupuncture) technique for smoking cessation not only helps smokers stop smoking but also restores their homeostasis and good health. By utilizing optimal auricular points, body acupuncture points, and meridian channels and applying proper laser energy dosages, the homeostatic and healing processes can be synergized.
Link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29937971/
Conclusions: Participation in NADA was positively associated with feeling better about oneself, improved energy, the likelihood of employment upon discharge, and decreased alcohol use at the 3-month follow-up and 6-month follow-up. The NADA group reported less tobacco use at six months.

Is Laser Therapy Effective For Vaping Nicotine, E-Cigarettes, or Chewing Tobacco?
Yes. Whether you smoke, vape, utilize E-cigarettes, or chew tobacco – Lazer Dave’s treatment approach and high success rates apply to all forms of nicotine consumption.
Is Laser Therapy Safe?
Laser therapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment option. It has been extensively studied and is effective in helping people quit smoking. It has little to no side effects and is generally well-tolerated.
“I can’t believe how EASY it was to QUIT SMOKING using LASER!”
K.S. from Kanata
Are There Any Side Effects With Laser Therapy?
Side effects are very uncommon. Usually, patients report that they continue to feel relaxed and sleep more than usual following their first treatment. Most are surprised at the ease with which they can quit smoking with laser therapy.
Is Laser Therapy Painful?
No. Only gentle laser light is utilized in your treatments. Most patients describe treatments as highly relaxing and pleasant. Some people feel little sensation, while others may feel light pressure, tingling, or a relaxing “heaviness” in their arms and legs.
Will I Gain Weight After Quitting Smoking Using Laser Therapy?
Your treatment includes the stimulation of appetite suppression points to discourage your desire for food as a substitute for cigarettes. Many professionals charge extra for this. Lazer Dave includes treatment of these points in his program fee.
How Many Laser Therapy Treatments Will I Need?
People utilizing Dave’s Ottawa Stop Smoking Laser Treatments receive the initial treatment plus a second treatment usable within two weeks of their initial appointment. The majority of clients are successful with two treatments. However, a minority may require additional “booster” treatment for satisfactory and long-term results.
How Much Does Laser Therapy To Quit Smoking Cost?
The Ottawa Quit Smoking Laser Program costs $300 (+ HST). The fee includes initial treatment plus an additional treatment (useable within two weeks of the initial appointment). Subsequent “booster” treatments (if required) are $85 (+ HST).
Please note: a $50 deposit is required towards the program’s total cost. You will be requested to make this deposit during registration. The deposit policy is 100% NON-NEGOTIABLE.
Why A $50 Deposit?
Lazer Dave is often asked, ” Why do you require a $50 deposit for your laser therapy quit programs?”
The short answer is that Lazer Dave is interested in only treating clients who are seriously committed to smoking cessation. A $50 deposit demonstrates commitment.
Lazer Dave’s deposit policy also helps to preserve his high success rates and the goodwill he has built up over the years offering this specialized service.
How Long Are Laser Therapy Treatments?
Individual treatment duration is typically 45 minutes for the first time and 30-45 minutes for subsequent treatments.
Do I Stop Smoking Before My First Laser Therapy Treatment?
Dave recommends you cut back as much AS POSSIBLE and institute his essential habit change suggestions and other recommendations from the Laser Quit Therapy Prep Guide BEFORE your first appointment.
This means having your LAST CIGARETTE at LEAST 5-6 hours BEFORE your FIRST APPOINTMENT. It is advantageous to be experiencing cravings for nicotine/cigarettes when you arrive for your first appointment. This increases the chance that you will feel tangible results during your first treatment, which promotes a robust psychological boost that the laser is indeed “working.”
After your first appointment, it is desirable to stop smoking ENTIRELY and let the laser and suggestions covered in the Prep Guide do the rest.
Laser Therapy Testimonial
Can I “Cut Back” Slowly Smoking After My First Laser Therapy Treatment?
After your first appointment, it is desirable to stop smoking ENTIRELY and let the laser and your behavior changes, supplements, and other changes do the rest. Some people do not start feeling noticeable effects of laser therapy until 24 hours AFTER they have QUIT ENTIRELY consuming ALL SOURCES of nicotine. If someone attempts to cut back gradually, they may require further booster treatment(s) to increase their chances of success.
How Do I Prepare Ahead Of Time To Optimize The Chances That I Will Quit With The Treatments Included With The Laser Quit Program Fee?
To optimize results and maximize the chances of success with Lazer Dave’s Laser Quit Programs, clients should:
- Incorporate as many of the suggestions presented in the “Laser Quit Therapy Prep Guide” BEFORE your first appointment. This includes critical supplements, behavior modifications, and environmental changes.
- Schedule Your First Appointment at a time when your general stress levels will NOT BE ABNORMALLY HIGH or it will be more difficult than usual to quit (i.e., scheduling your first appointment right before, say, a holiday when many people might be smoking around you).
- Have your last cigarette at least 5-6 HOURS BEFORE your FIRST appointment versus having your last one right before. It is optimal to be experiencing nicotine cravings when you arrive for your first treatment. Abstinence before treatment promotes a higher chance that you will quickly NOTICE TANGIBLE results during or at the end of the first treatment. This promotes a significant psychological boost that the laser is indeed “working” versus not noticing more robust results until further treatment has accrued.
If you do not follow the above preparatory steps, please note that you may not “feel” more robust results until you have completed your second treatment and have abstained from smoking for at least 24 hours. Furthermore, if you do not follow the above-recommended preparation steps, you also increase the chances of requiring extra booster treatment(s) for satisfactory results.
Should I Consume Nicorette, Use The Patch, Or Use Other Aids?
Dave advises that you use only the strategies he suggests in the Prep Guide. Always consult your doctor regarding medication changes, supplements, or similar.
Who Performs Laser Treatment? How Is Service Billed? What Will My Receipt Display?
1530910 Ontario Limited performs all treatments. Your payment receipt will show the service performed by 1530910 Ontario Limited as “Laser Quit ******* (Your Program/Booster Treatment).” Receipts are as is and not issued in any other format.
