What is Laser Therapy?

• Non-invasive, painless, drugless therapy
• Low level laser beam applied to acupuncture points
• Helps the body heal itself & triggers release of endorphins, the natural "feel good" chemicals the body uses to relieve pain and stress
• Used for decades in Singapore, United Kingdom, Canada, Scotland
• Used to treat nicotine addiction, promote/enhance weight loss, reduce stress, manage pain

The Process

Because nicotine addiction is more than simply a chemical dependency, our treatment includes:

• Relieving the physical need for nicotine without using nicotine
• Addressing the psychological aspects of addiction
• Supporting the body through nutrition to rid it of toxic chemicals
  Since nicotine is an appetite suppressant, many clients are concerned about gaining weight after their treatment. If this a concern for you, we can also trigger additional points to help suppress your appetite and stimulate your metabolic rate.
