I want to quit smoking

Nicotine is a major addictive psychoactive substance found in a variety of forms: cigarettes, e-cigarettes, smoking tobacco products, and more. The use of nicotine stimulates the brain to secrete neurotransmitters that provide positive emotional effects (dopamine, aminobutyric acid (gaba), opiate peptides (endorphins)). However, this nicotine-stimulated neurotransmission is quite short. Its effects are felt in just 20 minutes, and the need for another dose of nicotine is felt after an hour. Regular use of nicotine leads to tolerance towards the pleasurable effects of nicotine. As a result, the need for nicotine increases, and in the absence of it, withdrawal symptoms are felt, in which the brain lacks neurotransmission. This causes unpleasant physiological phenomena and psychological discomfort, there is an inexorable urge to get psychoactive substances. Laser therapy can help you avoid these side effects.

How does it work?

Laser therapy is non-invasive, relaxing and completely painless. During the procedure, the infrared laser stimulates the biologically active points (nerve endings) in the ears. The first three days after smoking cessation are considered essential due to unpleasant abstinence. Laser therapy helps to effectively eliminate these acute symptoms. There are clinical studies that show that after laser therapy the body maintains the release of endorphins for as long as 3-5 days, as a result of which withdrawal symptoms and stress associated with nicotine deficiency in the body are reduced to a minimum.

Laser therapy is provided in conjunction with a psychologist’s consultation. Consultation with a psychologist is necessary to study the severity of nicotine addiction, assess and strengthen a person’s motivation, introduce them to the risk of relapse and other important psychological aspects in order to get rid of a harmful habit.

I want to stop drinking alcohol

In the context of the medical sciences, alcohol dependence is treated as a chronic but progressive disorder associated with neurochemical changes in the human brain and nervous system. As the addiction progresses, the pathology cycle increases, consisting of 3 main components: relentless thinking about alcohol, intoxication / intoxication, and negative abstinence, each time aggravating the user’s emotional state. Alcohol intoxication activates the brain systems, which provide pleasant relaxation and satisfaction, while abstinence is characterized by decreased activity of these functions and increased activity of the brain stress system. Due to this mechanism, a repetitive cycle of addiction results in dysregulation of the brain systems or a pathological condition known clinically as addiction.

According to various foreign literature sources, there are significantly more people recovering from addictions today than those suffering from them. The main professional goal, using various psychological instruments and the most advanced auxiliary treatment methods, is to return a person to a full lifestyle, to facilitate coping with addictions, to maintain abstinence and to reduce the risk of relapse.

Laser treatment will help you to avoid that kind of withdrawal symptoms. It deals with all three parts of the addiction – physical, psychological and detoxification. It reduces the cravings for nicotine and reduces unpleasant physical symptoms. Specific acupuncture points on the ear are stimulated with the laser beam, giving the signals for your body to release endorphins and other brain chemicals which helps to overcome nicotine addiction. You feel relaxed and well balanced after the treatment session.
