Just how does the laser work?

Low-level laser therapy operates on principles similar to the 5,000 year old ancient Asian healing art of Acupuncture. Acupuncture is known to reduce tension, increase circulation, and enable the body to relax more deeply.

Laser Therapy treatment is a noninvasive method used to balance the energy flow between meridians. Laser therapy is considered a non-medical procedure.

Treatment with low-level laser helps to promote the release of endorphins in the body. Endorphins are natural chemicals in your body that signal your system to decrease stress and increase energy. Omega uses a low powered (soft) laser to treat nicotine addiction. The laser is no more powerful than a 60-watt light bulb.

Energy points related to addiction are identified and treated with a combination of a helium neon laser and electrobiostimulation.

The entire procedure is external, non-invasive, and non-thermal.

Laser Therapy is painless. During the laser treatment energy points on your hands, face, and ears are treated. If a client feels the sensation from the low- level laser, they may feel a warm, pulsating and sometimes-tingling feeling.

Some clients may only feel a calming sensation from the laser. The low-level laser acts as a tool to assist the client through the initial physical withdrawals from nicotine. The first 72 hours of quitting is considered to be the crucial detoxification period. The laser mimics a similar endorphin release for a period of 3-5 days following treatment, which aids in alleviating stress associated with giving up nicotine. The treatment has been used for over three decades in Europe and Canada.

How do you feel once you are treated?

The treatment is very relaxing and some people experience a degree of drowsiness.

Do you offer a discount to groups?

If you organize a group of 4 people or more and you are able to visit one of our clinics, we offer a 10% discount to each client. That is a savings of over $30 per person.

How long does the feeling of not needing a cigarette last after the treatment?

For most people, the physical cravings are gone for good. You will still have the mental habits to break, but we give you some great tips on how to break those habits as well.

How much does the smoking cessation laser program cost?

The total cost of our treatment is $300 plus gst = $315.00. This includes counselling, laser treatment, our vitamin program plus back up support. We do offer two additional treatments within one year but rarely is a second treatment necessary.

I'm concerned about gaining weight once I quit smoking cigarettes, can you do anything to help?

When you quit smoking your metabolism slows back down to normal. Due to the slower metabolic rate many people do gain extra weight. If weight gain concerns you we can add on "Weight Management Points". We will target an extra set of acupuncture points which will boost your metabolism as well as help to suppress your appetite. There is an extra charge of $100 plus gst for these extra "Weight Management Points". The total cost would be $420.00 which includes gst.
