Our treatment concentrates on three areas; nicotine withdrawal, relaxation, and appetite suppression. The nicotine withdrawal helps to alleviate the physical withdrawal symptoms associated with nicotine.

Know your triggers:
• | What activities or times of day cause you to crave a cigarette the most? About a week before your first laser treatment, begin eliminating your triggers one by one. Pick the one that you feel will be hardest for you to eliminate when quitting and try to do without (or delay) that cigarette. Shake up your routine. This will help you begin to break the habit before you actually quit. | • | Make an action plan for the first few days after treatment. Keep busy and active, especially during your trigger times. Exercise, go to the movies or see friends. | • | Calculate how much money you will save by not smoking. Put aside the money you aren’t spending on cigarettes and plan a reward for yourself. If you smoked even a pack a day, it can buy you that luxurious vacation or shopping spree you thought you couldn’t afford. | | • | Complete a detailed list of why you want to be free of cigarettes. Give specific reasons like “to be able to exercise without being out of breath”, not just general ones like “improved health”. Post it on your refrigerator. Regular reminders will help you be successful. To get you started, print and fill out our "Reasons I Want To Quit". |
