Can Lasers Really Help You Overcome Tobacco Addiction?

Tobacco addiction is complex and can be triggered by many different emotional or physical stimuli. The good news is that it is highly preventable and treatable with the right methods. If you’re ready to quit tobacco for good, finally, there are many methods you might have considered.

You might have considered nicotine replacement products, such as patches, lozenges, or gum. But it might not yield results in achieving freedom from tobacco addiction. Why not try a treatment that involves no medication or substances, and gives you a non-invasive path towards a tobacco-free life?

Laser therapy has long been popular for cosmetic applications such as hair removal, reticular vein treatments, and skin rejuvenation. In recent times, a growing body of medical research supports that laser therapy can treat tobacco addiction and serve as the foundation of a treatment plan

Is Laser Therapy Effective in the Treatment of Tobacco Addiction?

Laser therapy for tobacco addiction treatment uses low-level lasers to mimic the physiological effects of tobacco in the body. Low-level laser therapy, or LLT, offers a pain-free, drug-free and non-invasive means to quit tobacco.

During the procedure, trained professional operators target specific areas of the body with medical-grade lasers. This results in the release of endorphins, much like the consumption of tobacco and gradually affects the reward mechanism that promotes tobacco addiction.

The goal is to provide the calming feeling that tobacco provides without the accompanying health risks.

Over time, laser smoking therapy also helps maintain consistent endorphin level regulation by the body. Because low endorphin levels cause nicotine cravings, this may help reduce the patient’s desire to consume tobacco for weeks or even months after a session.
