What is low level laser therapy (LLLT)?
Chances are you’ve tried numerous methods to quit smoking…time and time again. It is not always your fault that you have been unsuccessful. The problem is that few methods are able to overcome both the physiological and psychological aspects of the addition, which need to be addressed and resolved. Some forms of dependency have indicated that individual personality traits and biochemical make up could also have an impact on whether a person is more likely to become addicted to a substance.
Laser Therapy is rapidly becoming the most powerful tool and first line of defense in helping people to quit addictions. Now, Laser Therapy helps people worldwide to quit smoking, drugs, alcohol, as well as to lose weight, control pain, stress and insomnia. Laser Therapy helps clients make positive lifestyle changes quickly and easily.
For more than 20 years, Laser Therapy has proven to be a painless form of treatment that is an alternative to traditional health care. The treatment is highly successful and long lasting. The procedure is external, non-invasive and non-thermal.
Low level laser therapy uses cold (sub-thermal) laser light energy to direct bio-stimulative light energy to the body’s cells without injuring or damaging them in any way. The therapy is precise and accurate; and offers safe and effective treatment for a wide variety of conditions.
Low level laser therapy is used to stimulate tissue repair through a process called bio-stimulation. This therapy is also referred to as laser acupuncture, photon stimulation, photo-bio-stimulation (pst) or low level laser therapy ( LLLT).
The energy range of low level laser light lies between 1 and 500 mW (milliwatts), while for surgical lasers the energy range lies between 3000 and 10000 mW. Specific wavelengths and power levels result in different levels of penetration and cellular effects.
These properties allow laser light to penetrate the surface of the skin with no heating effect, no damage to the skin and no known side effects.
Laser Therapy technology is a new and highly effective method of dealing with any type of addiction. A low-powered laser light will be applied to specific energy points on your body. This light will stimulate the release of endorphins, those natural feel -good chemicals. Laser Therapy will help to suppress your physical dependency on nicotine.
The powerful surge of endorphins will help to eliminate withdrawal symptoms such as cravings, restlessness and irritability. The mild tingling sensation during the treatment will also help you to relax. During treatment, you lie down comfortably and listen to a soothing music, we pass a pen-like laser over specific points on your neck, hands, wrists, and face, while you relax in comfort for 15-20 minutes. Many people have found this technique, the easiest and most efficient way to quit smoking.
Choy et al ( 1983) reported a success rate of 88% following auricular ( ear) acupuncture alone, with a 31% relapse after two years. While another study by FULLER A.J ( 1982) reported a 95% success rate in 194 smokers after only 3 acupuncture treatments to the ear. Patient follow ups revealed an abstinence rate of 41% in 6 months and 30% after two years
In order to achieve best possible result, we do strongly advise a follow up therapy within 6 – 8 months to maintain your result and to help you being in control.
Treatment information
During the procedure, you will be able to relax on a bed while a qualified Laser Technician places a small beam of light on your ears, face and hands. Other areas may be included in the treatment. You will only feel a tingling or pulsating sensation. The low-powered laser light and mild electrical stimulation will release endorphins. These endorphins are the same natural feel-good chemicals that are released every time you exercise or have a good belly laugh.
Part of the mechanism by which laser acupuncture assist in reducing the withdrawal symptoms in due to modulation of naturally analgesic substances ( opiates) called Endorphins and Enkephalins.

If you have tried going ‘cold turkey’ before, you know full well how overwhelming the cravings can build over time.

How does Laser Therapy Work?

Our Laser Therapy program will help relieve you of these cravings and keep you relaxed, calm, happy and “ in control”, during those first crucial weeks. This has been proved to be far more effective than ordinary treatments…..
One of the most innovative and promising uses for this technology is in helping people overcome their addiction to nicotine. The treatment is effective in ‘leveling out’ a smokers endorphin levels, which can spike abnormally high whilst smoking and crash to abnormal low levels soon after smoking, thus eliminating the constant cravings associated with quitting. Light therapy has been clinically proven to be up 9 times more effective than nicotine patches in the cessation of smoking.
No pain, no drugs, no needles, no withdrawals – just the science of light!
Laser therapy for smoking cessation works by applying pressure to a specific combination of trigger (meridian) points on the body related to nicotine addiction. Activating these points on the body has demonstrated an ability to end nicotine dependence. The procedure is external, non-invasive and drug free. During the treatment laser light is applied to points on your back, hands, face and ears. Clients may feel a warm pulsating or a tingling feeling.
Additional points may be included to suppress appetite and avoid food cravings. Within minutes you should feel completely relaxed. The therapy is completely painless, has no negative side effects and makes quitting smoking very easy.
Laser Therapy for Smoking Cessation
Many people who really want to stop smoking are afraid that they won’t be able to cope with certain situations without a cigarette or are defeated by the nicotine craving and withdrawal symptoms of the first few week.
Emerging science has found many practical uses for laser technology. One of the latest applications is Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for smoking cessation, which early
research on effectiveness has been very promising. Similar in practice to acupressure, laser therapy brings together the best of eastern medicine with western technology.
Laser therapy works by applying painless and non-invasive light energy to specific points on the body. Activating these points has demonstrated an ability to end nicotine addition by opening pathways in the body. It also releases endorphins that reduce withdrawal symptoms such as stress, irritability and nervousness.
Stop smoking through low level laser therapy ( LLLT) is effective because during the stop smoking process, the production of endorphins is increased in the body. Endorphins are your body’s natural healers. The increased production of endorphins reduces your depression and the desire of smoking automatically decreases. As a result, no desire of smoking takes place in your body. After 3 to 4 days, the nicotine is eliminated from your body and you begin to feel better immediately. Your lungs will expand and your chances of heart attack and stroke will decrease. You can now conclude that the quit smoking laser therapy is very effective for helping people to eliminate their addiction to cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco and other forms of nicotine.

Laser Therapy and Addictions
People who are addicted to nicotine, drugs and alcohol have lost the ability to produce their own endorphins naturally. Eventually they need more and more of the abusive substance to get the same high. The high from addictive substances only lasts for a few hours. The powerful surge of endorphins from each laser treatment will last up to six weeks. Cravings and withdrawal symptoms can be almost eliminated.
Most people can quit smoking after only a single laser treatment. For other addictions, clients may need a series of treatments, which are gradually reduced according to the client’s progress. They also take antioxidants to help cleanse the abusive substance from the body.
There are three parts to any addiction: physical, psychological and detoxification. Laser Therapy deals with all three parts of the addiction, without drugs or side effects.
Laser Therapy is highly effective. According to a televised documentary, the success rate to quit smoking with the patch and gum is between five and 29 per cent. The success rate to quit smoking with Laser Therapy was 86 per cent.
Most stop smoking programs, including gums and patches, are nicotine-based. Common sense dictates that we should not rely on the addictive substance to overcome the addiction. Stop smoking programs usually deal with either the physical or the psychological aspect of the addiction and do not include detoxification.
