SMOKING CESSATION
Common Questions and Answers
Experience Laser
We use a non-invasive low-level light laser in our stop smoking protocol. Energy points related to addiction are identified and "lit up". Within The Experience Laser Stop Smoking Program we also "zap" Laser diet points to help control your appetite and avoid excessive weight gain; and we Laser stress and relaxation points to help avoid the withdrawal symptoms that you would normally experience if you tried to quit on your own, such as irritability, getting short tempered, etc. The entire procedure is external, non-invasive, non-thermal and is completely painless. During the laser session, energy points on your hands, face, and ears are "lit up'.
The Main Stop Smoking Protocol:
2 days. On the first day you will receive a consultation followed by your first laser protocol. The following day you will receive a second relaxing laser protocol, plus time to review your progress. All protocols are private and confidential and will be carried out by one of our fully trained therapists.
During your sessions you will also recieve our subconscious re-education to fully reinforce your decision to stop smoking.
What points on my body are used for laser smoking cessation?
Each client is custom-treated according to his or her specific and unique body system. Usually a combination of ear, hand and wrist acupressure points are used that are believed to influence the organs and energetic pathways associated with smoking and addiction control.
Will the Cold Laser protocol hurt?
No. Cold laser is completely painless. In fact, most people describe an extremely relaxed feeling after being treated.
How does the treatment affect you ?
Although it is a little different for everyone, the only thing you feel is relaxed. Some people may feel a little lightheaded, but this passes very quickly. Immediately following your session the physical cravings for nicotine should be gone, allowing your to focus on working on the habit.
How long does the Cold Laser protocol take?
Protocol only takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the practitioner and the laser used. Your first visit will include a personal consultation, so you should allow for up to 90 minutes for that appointment as we also include an indepth personal history and powerful subconscious re-education.
Will I gain weight?
Weight gain is avoidable when quitting smoking with laser protocols. Studies conducted have shown little to no weight gain with LLLT. If weight gain is a concern, ask your technician to explain our plan options to help ensure that you do not gain while quitting. It has been found beneficial to eat 4-6 small meals per day to help control blood sugar.
Will my medical insurance cover the cost of laser therapy?
Since LLLT is not a medical treatment, insurance will not cover it at this time. Check with your tax accountant as certain Smoking Cessation & Weight Loss programs are offered a tax credit. At Experience Laser we will provide you with all the documentation you need to provide your accountant.
Is the program guaranteed?
Nicotine addiction consists of two factors: the physical addiction and the mental addiction. The laser protocol is designed to relieve the physical withdrawal symptoms, but will not give you amnesia! If you have smoked a pack or 2 a day for ten or twenty years, this means you will be making a huge change to your daily routine when you quit. Even if you experience no physical symptoms, you may still think about smoking. Therefore, while we cannot make a guarantee, we will do everything in our power to ensure your success. Cold Laser protocols combined with our subconscious re-education and your commitment is what it is all about. We have an average of 85-90% success rate. That's something you can be happy about!
Are there any health conditions for which laser therapy is not recommended?
Yes. LLLT is not recommended for those who have blockages, tumors, active cancers, epilepsy, or for those who are undergoing radiation or chemotherapy. If you have health concerns, consult your physician prior to your protocol.
Is there anything I need to do before my first session?
Make a 100% commitment before you arrive for your laser protocol. Get rid of absolutely all your cigarettes and smoking paraphernalia. In fact, please bring everything you have to the office. We have an amazing collection of smoking apparatus from around the world! You should drink 8 glasses of water per day, drink juice and eat healthy foods. It is also a good idea to decrease your caffeine intake for 3-5 days before initial treatment. Once you partner with us for health we'll assist you in making positive choices for you rnew lifestyle.
Is there anything extra that I can do to increase my success rate after the laser protocol?
Yes! Research has shown that ridding the body of residual nicotine is beneficial to the success of treatment as well as the increased health of the body. We will offer you suggestions that will help to detox the body and strenghten our immune system.
How does the laser cessation treatment work?
We use a low level laser (also known as a therapeutic or cold laser). It works along the same principle as acupuncture but of course, no needles. The points that we work on are on the ears (auricular points), nose, hands, wrist, and forearm (meridian points). It is a very relaxing and pleasant treatment.
We work on three different areas with our unique protocol. First, we work withpoints for the addiction to nicotine, to help block your body's need for that drug; second, we work with diet points to help control your appetite and avoid excessive weight gain; and third we work with a lot of stress and relaxation points to help avoid the withdrawal symptoms that you would normally experience if you tried to quit on your own, such as irritability, getting short tempered, etc. We try to take away all the negative feelings and make it a smooth transition for you.
For many people, one session is all that is needed. For others 1 or more booster sessions may be necessary, depending on the smokers' level of stress and their resolve to actually quit smoking. Ask your practitioner for confirmation of this. We understand that unexpected troubles happen in life. You can use the booster for any reason or just for the wonderful feeling of "well being" the laser treatment gives you along with our unique "subsconscious re-education."
Our unique method helps to:
1. Control your addiction to the nicotine so you don’t go through physical withdrawals.
2. Suppress your appetite to control weight gain associated with smoking cessation.
3. Eliminate irritability, short temper and feelings of anxiety.
4. Teach your mind how to act, think and feel like a non-smoker.
