Intro: Now, there's new hope for people battling nicotine addiction, and it doesn't involve a patch, pill, or mint-flavored gum. A 30-year-old international laser technology that virtually eases all withdrawal symptoms attributed to quitting smoking has finally arrived in the US.
Already, the FDA has ruled the 30-year-old low-level laser therapy as a "non-significant" risk. . . .
This progressive step by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) makes Freedom Laser Therapy, Inc. the first full-scale clinic approved to operate through clinical trials to treat nicotine addiction in the U.S.
The first office of Freedom Laser Therapy, Inc. opened in Santa Monica, California. Additional clinics are scheduled to open in Detroit, Chicago, . . .
Low-Level-Laser Therapy for treatment of nicotine addiction operates on principles similar to those used in acupressure point therapy where specific energy points on the subject's ears, face and hands are stimulated by a soft laser light. One 30-minute treatment includes the laser procedure, education on coping with cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and advice on remaining addiction-free. International clinical studies have revealed success rates as high as 85% to permanently end smokers' addictions.
