If you’re like most Americans, quitting smoking is probably one of your New Year’s resolutions. So how is it going? If you’re like most smokers who try to quit, you probably have gone through several attempts and failed. Well, there are several smoking cessation treatments that you can try to ward off the habit. One of which is laser therapy. But what is it and in what ways can this kind of treatment help you quit?
Here are 6 facts you should know about laser treatment to stop smoking:
Cold laser therapy is also used by people looking to stop other unhealthy habits like alcohol and drug abuse, and lose weight. This therapy may be used for other health conditions because it has the ability to heal and repair damaged tissues.
Laser therapy’s goal is to cause laser stimulation of the acupressure points on the nose, ears, fingers and wrists to trigger the body to release endorphins that calm and relax the body, reducing the smoker’s nicotine cravings.
Laser therapy is well-recommended for people who have tried other smoking cessation treatments but failed to obtain positive results. While it helps reduce the symptoms of withdrawal, like any other methods, it doesn’t work for everybody. And despite claims of success by some providers of cold laser therapy, there is not enough evidence showing that it can indeed help people quit smoking.
Whichever smoking cessation method you use, it only works when you are ready to quit. If you don’t want to quit, nothing will make you quit, even if you spend a fortune buying gums, patches and pills. All quit smoking methods, including laser treatment, is only there to assist you to a certain point. But it’s totally up to you. If you want to quit and you’re ready, nothing can stop you and any method you use will work.
