The practitioners of the laser treatment to stop smoking claim a success rate above 85%. While there has been no clinical research to support such claims, the other advantages of laser treatment to stop smoking have made it the fastest growing smoking cessation option of recent years.

What The Laser Treatment To Stop Smoking Is

The laser treatment to stop smoking mimics the use of acupuncture as an aid for quitting nicotine; it consists of a half-hour session during which a pulses from a light “cool” laser which emits no more energy than a 60-watt light bulb are applied to the smoker’s ear lobe.

The theory underlying the laser treatment to stop smoking is that the laser pulses will stimulate the brain to begin producing endorphins--natural pain killers. The endorphins are claimed to both reduce nicotine cravings and alleviate nicotine withdrawal symptoms for three days following the laser treatment to stop smoking. During period the smoker will go through the worst part of withdrawal, and by the time the effects of the laser treatment have subsided, the smoker will be well on his or her way to success.

The endorphins are said to replace nicotine in the brains’ nicotine receptors, so that they cannot start the cigarette craving cycle. The laser treatment to stop smoking is also claimed to restore the balance between the smoker’s physical and mental energies. The body’s release of endorphins produces a heightened sense of relaxed well-being, helping the smoker avoid any feelings of anxiety which might normally lead him or her to light up.
