The laser therapy also increases the body’s ability to detoxify the nicotine and move it out of your body, so it can no longer cause those troublesome cravings. The endorphins are also said to replace nicotine in the nicotine receptors of the brain, which prevents them from restarting the cycle of cigarette craving.

Relaxing? Calming? Those are two words no one would ever associate with trying to quit smoking! But they’re two words that DO indicate how very successful a stop smoking laser treatment can be. Treatments are completely pain-free, and last, on the average, just 20-30 minutes. Additionally, most laser treatment centers offer counseling along with the stop smoking laser treatment, in order to bolster and enhance its effects.

But do they really work? Practitioners of the laser treatments claim a success rate above 85 percent. While to date there has been no viable research to support these claims, it has become one of the fasting growing options chosen for those who want to quite smoking.

So what’s the cost for all this? The cost runs anywhere from $200.00 to as much as $350.00 per treatment. And keep in mind that, because it is not considered a medical treatment, it is not covered by insurance. But for the chance to be free of that nagging desire to smoke? Priceless.
