Q: How many treatments are necessary?
A: Most people stop smoking with just one treatment. You should not have any cravings once the treatment is complete. During the consultation we will address various techniques to help you stay smoke free and enjoy it. You will be given 1 session with 1 additional booster treatment if needed, but most of our clients quit on the very first treatment.
Q: How long does the session take?
A: Your session will consist of two parts: consultation addressing the physical and psychological aspects of your addiction and laser acupuncture. The actual laser acupuncture procedure takes less than 30 minutes. Pease allow about an hour and a half for the entire treatment session.
Q: Where do you apply the laser?
A: The laser is applied to acupuncture points on the ears, hands wrists, arms, and the side of the nose for the smoking treatment. Unlike in other clinics, our point selection is individualized to meet your particular needs, such as stress level, emotional state, lifestyle and other issues.

Q: What is your success rate?

rate. We guarantee if you do what you are instructed to do, you will quit smoking!
Q: What is the “ NADA protocol”?
