When cigarette smoke is inhaled, natural chemicals in your body called endorphins are released, sending signals to your brain that make you feel less anxious, less stressed and causing you to feel more relaxed. Nicotine addiction alters the normal endorphin cycle in the body, and the result is that normal levels of endorphins are reduced unless and until nicotine is introduced to the bloodstream.

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 the smoker begins to feel irritable, stressed-out, fatigued, and anxious for another cigarette. As the next cigarette is consumed, the nicotine in the bloodstream raises endorphin levels to a point where these negative symptoms are reduced or temporarily eliminated. This is your nicotine addiction and this is why it is difficult to quit smoking.

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) works to quickly correct the body’s’ natural endorphin cycle, and eliminate nicotine cravings. LLLT stimulates the body’s natural production and release of beta-endorphins (these  substances produced by various cells in the body that inhibit the sensation of pain). Laser therapy allows you to eliminate nicotine from your body while avoiding the cravings, stress, and irritability most commonly associated with withdrawal. Complete smoking cessation can often be successfully achieved following just one treatment session from LaserIntervention and Wellness Laser Quit Smoking Program (2 “booster” sessions are included in our package and can be used when and if they are necessary).
