To
fully understand how laser therapy works, you should first
know how smoking a cigarette makes you feel relaxed.
When you smoke a cigarette,
natural chemicals in your body, called endorphins, send
signals to your brain to make you think you feel better.
Nicotine addiction alters the normal endorphin cycle in your
body so you have a hard time feeling good without the use of
cigarettes. As you know, the effects of nicotine wear off
quickly (usually 1 to 2 hours). As time goes by, endorphin
levels in your body drop far below normal, and you begin to
feel extremely irritable, stressed-out, fatigued, and
anxious for another cigarette. After you inhale again,
endorphin levels are raised back up to a point where you
feel better. And so the cycle continues, hour by hour, day
by day, year by year. This is nicotine addiction.
How Low
Level Laser Therapy Works
Just as cigarettes raise endorphin levels
in your body to make you feel relaxed, so does Low Level
Laser Therapy (LLLT). By elevating
levels of endorphins, laser therapy allows you to eliminate
nicotine from your body while avoiding the cravings, stress,
and irritability most commonly associated with withdrawal.
The difference between cigarettes and laser treatment is the
laser naturally stimulates your cells to release endorphins
over a much longer period of time - 3 to 5 days versus 1 to
2 HOURS for a cigarette. It has been proven that it takes
approximately three to five days to allow nicotine to leave
your body completely. Consequently, we include a second
laser treatment to help you win your battle with your body’s
addiction to nicotine.
After about 5 days, you have successfully
eliminated nicotine from your body. From that point, your
mental battle with your addiction will become the challenge.
This is where the information we gather about you and your
addiction will be vital to succeeding. Our professional
consultants will be there for you as you cope with your
mental habits. We will pledge to give you the information
and support you need to win your ongoing mind-games.
