Posted by lexthomus on March 9th, 2017

‘Smoking Kills.’ Still, many people all over the world are hooked to it. Cigarettes contain nicotine made up of many harmful chemicals, which attack the immune system of the body making it vulnerable to many major ailments like cancer and TB. Most of the smokers want to quit smoking but cannot find a way to do it. In fact, there is no effective treatment in the form of medicine that makes people quit smoking. So, people shift to other alternatives like nicotine gums, nicotine patches, electronic cigarettes to make the effects of smoking less harmful. However, all of them contain nicotine, though in small quantity. Off late, a new technique based on the laser light is used to make people stop smoking that is known to be natural, painless and similar to acupuncture with no side effects.

Laser treatment for smoking is carried out with the help of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) that works by stimulating the production of endorphins. They are used to swamp the nicotine receptors in the brain to eliminate nicotine cravings of the smokers. Endorphins are natural stimulants produced by the human body when the mind is going through stress or during pleasurable activities. Smokers find it easy to switch to endorphins as a replacement of the nicotine because they are part of our natural system. During the treatment, a low level laser light beam is directed at specific energy points on the body at the face, ears, wrists, and hands. Depending on the condition of the smokers, the entire treatment is carried out in 3 to 5 sessions of 30 minutes each.

Laser therapy for smoking is inspired by the age old technique of acupuncture to treat various ailments in a person. The low level laser light beam during the treatment is actually directed at the acupuncture points of the human body that are known to influence nicotine addiction. However, one can feel pain during the acupuncture treatments but Low Level Laser Therapy is completely non-invasive where only a small sensation is felt by the smokers. One of the commonly used LLLT technology is Aura PTL II Therapy Laser System that puts patients in a calm and relaxed state after the session.

Many companies are providing this advanced therapy for smoking to the practitioners who want to implement it in their clinics to treat smokers. If you are a medical practitioner, you can get in touch with these companies through their websites.
