Question:
What is cold laser treatment? Is
that the same as laser treatment
to stop smoking?
Yes it is. Cold laser is simply
another term used to signify low-level
or soft laser. Laser treatment is
based on the same theory as acupuncture
which involves needles being inserted
into key pressure points on the
body. The needles are removed except
for tiny ones in the ear - on a
line of addiction points - which
patients touch when they feel cravings.
In laser treatments a therapist
applies a cold laser beam to specific
energy points on the body. The idea
is to stimulate the release of endorphins
to help relieve stress and thereby
reduce the cravings for nicotine.
