Laser Concepts of Louisiana 504.888.8484
Scientific developments in the fields of photobiology and laser technology have made the Laser Concepts system one of the most successful laser systems on the world market.
The Laser Concepts Stop Smoking program has had tremendous success. The treatment is completely painless and in 20 minutes you can become smoke free! We use a low level laser (also known as a therapeutic or cold laser). It works along the same principle as acupuncture but of course, no needles. The points that we work on are on the ears (auricular points), nose, hands, wrist, and forearm (meridian points). It is a very relaxing and pleasant treatment.
We stimulate three different areas with the treatment. First, we treat points for the addiction to nicotine, to help block your body's need for that drug. Second, we treat diet points to help control your appetite and avoid excessive weight gain. Third, we treat stress and relaxation points to help avoid the withdrawal symptoms that you would normally experience if you tried to quit on your own, such as irritability, getting short tempered, etc. We try to take away all the negative feelings and make it a smooth transition for you.
Free booster treatments will be available within the six months following your treatment, because we understand that unexpected troubles happen in life. You can use the booster for any reason or just for the wonderful feeling of "well being" the laser treatment gives you. How many times do you use the treatment? How long does the treatment last and when do you start feeling it? How do you feel once you are treated, can you drive home? Does insurance cover this? How does the laser work? Where do you place the laser? If I were to have a blood test, how long does it take for nicotine to be out of the body's blood stream? How long does having no cravings last after the treatment? How long have you been in business? If you are taking medications what affect does this treatment have? Who cannot have the treatment? If you have high blood pressure what affect does this have? Can I have a pacemaker and do this treatment? What type of schooling is needed to perform this treatment, do you need to be a doctor? I have never heard of this treatment, who else does this? I have had acupuncture done, but it didn't work very well, is this any different? Do you have Gift Certificates? What do you accept for payment for the treatment? How far in advance do I have to schedule my appointment? When I drink that is when I usually smoke, after the treatment will I still want to smoke? Can you use this treatment for substance abuse?
Is laser therapy safe?
Laser therapy is completely safe. The FDA has classified low level laser therapy devices as "non-significant risk medical devices." They pose no health risk to the patient provided that protective eyewear is worn. Normal precautions should be followed as with any medical procedure.
