The first hurdle in quitting smoking is to get through the nicotine withdrawal phase, which people often dread. Our laser treatments significantly reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, so people generally sail through this phase with greater ease. We apply a painless beam of cold laser therapy to specific acupuncture points on the ears, face, hands and feet. On a chemical level, cravings are a desire for endorphins and dopamine that used to be released by smoking. Laser acupuncture lets the body release those chemicals naturally, eliminating the physical need to smoke immediately.
