Four Corners Laser
How does cold laser therapy work?
The cold laser is applied to acupuncture points on the hands, wrists, arms, ears and sides of the nose. The light of the laser is absorbed by the skin cells to stimulate the endorphins that help with cravings while leaving you with a feeling of well being. Thus helping to eliminate the urge to smoke, and helps relieve stress. The treatment takes about 30-40 minutes. There is a consultation and instructions addressing the physical and psychological aspects of your cravings. For smoking cessation just one treatment is usually needed. For weight loss a course of treatment is recommended while following a good diet and exercise plan.
Is It Safe?
Laser therapy has been used in Canada for over 10 years and in Europe for 40 years for addiction therapies. We have used laser therapy in our clinic since 2004. Tha laser emits no heat and there is no pain during or after the treatment. There are also no side effects associated with laser use. Many patients have had tremendous results.
Will I Gain Weight?
Most patients will not gain weight. It is different for each person. We will help and advise you during your consultation and discus ways to avoid weight gain after quitting.
How many treatments will I need?
About 75 % of our patients will only need 1 treatment to quit smoking. However we do include a booster treatment if you need it. We recommend that you use this around 21 days from the date you quit, as endorphin levels can often drop around this time.
