IMD Laser Clinic is a medical center that utilizes safe and painless laser technology to help you stop smoking for good without weight gain. No chemicals, no shots, no patches, no gum!

Nicotine creates elevated levels of dopamine which gives you the feeling of pleasure, by producing endorphins by the body. The absence of these chemicals triggered by nicotine is the main cause of withdrawal symptoms when someone is trying to quit smoking. These withdrawal symptoms from nicotine start almost after the first few hours of quitting between 24 to 48 hours. When we use laser directly at precise acupuncture points on your body, endorphins are released by the brain. It is the extra release of endorphins that takes away the craving for nicotine, therefore providing relief of the withdrawal symptoms when quitting smoking.

How It Works?

Laser smoking cessation program has 2 key components:

  1. Laser therapy for physical addiction
  2. Guidance and Advice for lifestyle changes (Motivational support, nutritional info to help cleanse your body from nicotine and prevent weight gain)

Laser therapy for smoking is a non-invasive, painless and safe procedure.

Using cold laser treatments, we place the laser on certain points of your body to rid your urge to smoke.

Stimulation of auricular (ear) and acupuncture points promotes release of neurotransmitters (endorphins, serotonins, dopamine). The laser raises your endorphin levels that normally crash when you quit smoking creating cravings. Stimulation of auricular points may also change taste thresholds or the perceived taste of tobacco. The taste of smoke generally becomes less desirable and even objectionable, lowering the overall desire to continue smoking. Within 24 hours, your sense of taste and smell will change so you won't want another cigarette and the nicotine will be cleared from your lungs.

Benefits of Laser Smoking Cessation:

  • Decreased withdrawal symptoms.
  • Endorphins replace the nicotine-triggered endorphins to which smokers are addicted.
  • Endorphins released as a result of this treatment are longer lasting, and greatly reduce symptoms, irritability and cravings that are normally associated with smoking cessation.
  • Endorphins may also help with sleeping, stress reduction and give a general sense of well being.

What happens during the treatment?

When the pulsating light of the laser is applied to certain acupuncture points, it is absorbed by the skin and cells to stimulate the endorphins that help block out the cravings while leaving you with a feeling of well being.

How many treatments are necessary?

Generally only one visit is all that is required to completely alleviate the addiction. IMD provides counseling (dealing with the habit) during your consultation. You should not have any cravings once the treatment is complete. In rare cases 1 to 2 follow-up treatments may be required.

How long does the treatment take?

The actual treatment itself takes one hour. There is a consultation and instructions addressing the physical and psychological aspects of your addiction. You should allow approximately two hours for your appointment and. Make your own group of friends and family (2 or more) for group rates and save time too.

What is your success rate?

We have a 90% success rate in only 1 visit with immediate results! The effects of the laser will last for 4-6 months. Generally only one visit is all that is required to completely alleviate the addiction.
