Posted by Unknown Thursday, January 3, 2013 0 comments
There are many therapies on offer to help someone stop smoking ranging from hypnosis to use the patch or nicotine replacement patches or using laser therapy. Now, there is a new method developed technology. It is Low Level Laser Technology (LLLT).

This therapy uses a laser used for skin care that is a magnitude of 5 to 500 mW. Low power laser is emitted at 29 points throughout the body starting from the face, ears, wrists, and hands.

According to experts LLLT, Philip Gabel, shooting lasers aimed affect a person's dependence on nicotine. LLLT technology works by stimulating the brain cells that are in a state of dependence. The laser irradiation does not damage living cells, but returns in the biochemical structure of brain cells a bit back like conditions before the addiction.

At certain points that got the laser beam, there are nerves and blood vessels, Gabel said. 29 points are the greatest access to the workings of the brain. One area that received radiation area is lip. Two points that got radiation is the end of the left and right lip.

Lips are one of the areas directly affected by the smoke. Area usually becomes quickly wrinkled lip and blackened. This area also has two large access in influencing dependence on nicotine.

LLLT therapy consists of 3 sessions. The first session was for an hour, while the remainder is less than 30 minutes. "Irradiation lasted only 15 minutes. Remaining time is used for counseling and relaxation," said Gabel.

The first session and the second distance is 3 days. While two to three sessions approximately 7 to 10 days. According to Gabel, during the first session and the second is usually the patient has felt the effects of LLLT therapy. This stimulation began to be felt for 12 to 24 hours after the first treatment. Then increased to 4 to 6 weeks.

Even so, Gabel advised the patient to firmly commit to stop smoking. He also advised to maintain a diet, sleep, work, and a good rest. This is because LLLT therapy only affects the desire to smoke, do not reduce nicotine in the body. Nicotine levels being discharged through the body's metabolism.
