What is Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)?

LLLT is the application of a "cold" pure laser light to treat certain conditions. It has been used to successfully treat many kinds of musculoskeletal injuries because it promotes healing and tissue repair. LLLT has also been found to be an extremely successful treatment for alcohol and drug addiction, weight control, and smoking cessation.

Is LLLT safe?

LLLT is a safe, painless, and medication-free treatment. It has been used in England, Canada, and Europe for over 20 years with no documented adverse side effects. Laser therapy is a non-medical procedure and is respected by many physicians as a highly effective treatment.

How does LLLT work?

The laser light reached through the skin to stimulate your nerve endings to produce endorphins. Endorphins are produced normally by you and are nature's own mood lifter and anesthetic. The endorphin production relives the physical withdrawal symptoms of quitting smoking and helps keep you from feeling anxious or "crabby".

Answer 3

Here is what the American Cancer Society has to say about Cold Laser Therapy and smoking:

"Cold laser therapy providers advertise this method as a way to help people quit smoking, and some TV stations have reported this as news. The treatment is supposed to relax the smoker and release endorphins (naturally-occurring pain relief substances) in the body to simulate the effects of nicotine in the brain, or balance the body’s energy to relieve the addiction. Despite claims of success by some cold laser therapy providers, there is no scientific evidence that shows this is an effective method of helping people stop smoking. "

Answer 4

I am not from Wi but let me tell you, don't waste your money on laser it does not work. I was a smoker for over 36 years and tried any and everything to make me quit. I am now taking the new pill called chantix and so far it's really working great, a little costly but not as much as smokes. Good luck to you, I'll be rooting for you.

Answer 5

I've never heard of laser therapy. However Hypnotherapy is meant to be effective. It takes around 3 sessions, and costs around AU$80 per session, which is worth it if you add up the amount you spend on cigarettes. I'm going to give it a shot, I really want to quit smoking aswell. Best of Luck.

Answer 6

Try and get as much support as you can from household, good friends and work coworkers. Let them understand you are preparing to give up, and ask smokers not to smoke around you or provide you cigarettes. Quitting with a friend can likewise be an outstanding idea-- you can share your feelings and urge each other.

Answer 7

Plan ahead for situations in which you are most likely to be tempted to smoke, such as celebrations, drinking or going out for coffee. Attempt to prevent these circumstances in the very early stages of your stopping program, or try sitting in the non-smoking area at restaurants, consuming your coffee standing up or with the other hand, or keeping something in your hand when you're talking on the phone.

Answer 10

Uhhh... your friend lies. That's not possible.

Hypnosis, maybe, but unless they're having their lips lasered shut, I don't see how you could possibly do that.
