| Smoking Cessation Laser Therapy |
Question:
What can you tell me about using laser therapy for smoking cessation?
Answer:
The therapy is a laser version of acupuncture. Instead of using needles,
a low-level laser beam is directed at points on the ear, face, hands and
wrists.
It's completely painless without cutting, and it doesn't burn.
The treatment is aimed at reducing the physical withdrawal symptoms smokers
feel when they quit.
It stimulates the body to release those natural endorphins
of the body chemicals that relieve pain. Many people do quit with just one
treatment.
Certain people are not eligible for laser treatment because of health
concerns. They are: pregnant women, cancer patients, epileptics and people
with blood-clotting disorders.
As a smoking cessation method it is as effective as others, ultimately you need to make it work.
