How Laser Therapy Works
Low-level laser therapy operates on principles similar to the 5,000 year old ancient Asian healing art of Acupuncture. Acupuncture is known to reduce tension, increase circulation, and enable the body to relax more deeply. Laser Therapy treatment is a non-invasive method used to balance the energy flow between meridians. For smokers, laser therapy is much more effective to terminate the cravings and withdrawal symptoms because of it's stronger range and stimulation effect.

Laser therapy is considered a non-medical procedure. Treatment with low-level laser helps to promote the release of endorphins in the body. Endorphins are natural chemicals in your body that signal your system to decrease stress and increase energy.

Freedom uses a low powered (soft) laser to treat nicotine addiction no more powerful than a 20-watt light bulb. Energy points related to addiction are identified and treated with a combination of a helium neon laser and electrobiostimulation. The entire procedure is external, non-invasive, and non-thermal. Laser Therapy is painless.

During the laser treatment energy points on your hands, nose, wrists and ears are treated. If a client feels the sensation from the low-level laser, they may feel a warm, pulsating and sometimes-tingling feeling. Some clients may only feel a calming sensation from the laser.

The low-level laser acts as a tool to assist the client through the initial physical withdrawals from nicotine. The first 72 hours of quitting is considered to be the crucial detoxification period. The laser mimics a similar endorphin release which aids in alleviating the stress and withdrawal symptoms associated with giving up nicotine.

Our program recommends that you come back within 2 to 5 days for another laser treatment to re-activate your body and keep you calm so that your body completes it's necessary detoxification period.

Basically low level laser therapy is allowing your body to detoxify while also not suffering the extreme withdrawal from stopping smoking. You also use the tips and advice given and incorporate it into your routine to maximize success and make more healthy lifestyle decisions.

The treatment has been used for over two decades in Europe and Canada.
