Ottawa Laser Quit Smoking & Vaping Nicotine
If you’re looking to quit smoking or vaping nicotine, you know how difficult it can be to break the habit. The cravings and withdrawal symptoms can be overwhelming, and it can be easy to fall back into the old routine. That’s where Ottawa Laser Therapy Solutions come in.
What Is Laser Therapy To Quit Smoking?
Laser therapy to quit smoking cigarettes and vaping nicotine is a painless and safe treatment with the goal to reduce symptoms related to cravings and withdrawal.
Lazer Dave applies gentle laser light using sophisticated European low-level laser therapy technology to energy points on the face, ears, hands, and feet to naturally boost endorphins/dopamine levels, promote brain neuroplasticity, and help break the symptom cycle of nicotine cravings/withdrawal. The technique is based on modern acupuncture and auricular therapy but requires no needles.
Laser therapy is also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), cold laser therapy, laser acupuncture, and photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT).

Always consult a doctor regarding changes or use of medications, substances, supplements, etc., and any other health concern. Laser quit therapy is NOT a medical treatment and NOT intended to treat medical conditions including substance use disorders.

How Does Laser Therapy Help Me Stop Smoking?
Low-intensity laser is applied to specific energy points (acupuncture points) on the ears, head, hands, and feet to stimulate the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins—the body’s natural feel-good chemicals.
In addition, emerging scientific evidence supports that low-intensity laser light therapy positively affects the brain’s neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to adapt to all the changes it goes through over the course of a person’s life and is characterized by the variation in the number or nature of neurons and synapses. This means laser therapy may provide a cognitive boost to help people quit negative habits like consuming nicotine and incorporate more positive behaviors into their lifestyles.
In summary, the benefits of increased neurotransmitter release and neuroplasticity enhancement combined can reduce symptoms related to nicotine withdrawal and help break the habit cycle — with the end goal of enhancing your attempt to quit successfully for good.

About Nicotine Withdrawal
Nicotine withdrawal has been said to parallel that of cocaine and heroin. This is partly due to the availability of tobacco and the dependent nature of nicotine. Over the past two decades, stop-smoking programs have come and gone. Most of these programs or strategies, including nicotine gum, the “patch,” and others, show a success rate of only 30-35% and many even lower. Moreover, the patch and gum are nicotine-based — common sense dictates that one maybe should not use nicotine to overcome nicotine!
Reduce Nicotine Withdrawal Symptoms With Laser Therapy
Ottawa Laser Solutions’ Approach To Helping You Quit Smoking Using Laser Therapy
Most important is your desire to quit. Subsequently, Dave subscribes to a 2 step approach in helping people overcome nicotine withdrawal symptoms using laser therapy:
STEP ONE — COMMIT + PREPARE
Quitting smoking begins with a strong commitment to change. After you make your first appointment and complete the deposit, reception will email you the Laser Quit Therapy Prep Guide.
The Prep Guide outlines key habit change suggestions, supplements, and other information that, when combined with laser quit therapy, can dramatically increase the chances of quitting nicotine for good. The guide is intended for information purposes only and should NOT be considered a replacement for the medical advice of a doctor. Always consult a doctor regarding use of medications, substances, supplements, etc., and any other health concern.
STEP TWO — LASER THERAPY TREATMENT
Use laser therapy to treat various energy points on the ears, face, hands, and feet to break and reduce the physiological symptoms associated with the withdrawal process from nicotine.

What Happens Before My First Laser Therapy Treatment To Stop Smoking?
After you have made your first appointment, and completed the deposit, you will subsequently be emailed the Laser Quit Therapy Prep Guide. The Prep Guide contains practical information and key habit change suggestions that maximize your chances of successfully quitting for good using laser.
Please note: the Laser Quit Therapy Prep Guide is NOT a replacement for the advice or recommendations of a doctor, professional counseling, group support, or mental health support services.
What To Expect On Your First Laser Therapy Treatment To Quit Smoking
When you come for your first laser to quit smoking treatment, Lazer Dave will:
- Complete an intake by reviewing your health history, quit nicotine goals, and main concerns regarding quitting.
- Explain the procedure (benefits,potential side-effects, etc.), and answer any remaining questions.
- Ask for treatment consent, get comfortable on a treatment table, and wear protective glasses.
- Begin treatment starting with the feet, then the hands, ears, nose, head and fingers.
- Review key habit change suggestions, and strategies to boost laser results.
- Book your second appointment, usually within a week or two.
You may feel a slight warm sensation on the areas being treated. As the points are stimulated with the laser light, your body should begin to release endorphins and other powerful neurochemicals like dopamine that promote a pleasant sense of relaxation.

What to Expect After Your First Laser Therapy Treatment To Quit Smoking
After your first Ottawa-Kanata laser therapy treatment for quitting smoking, you will likely feel more relaxed and calm, and best of all, your desire for nicotine will likely start to diminish.In addition to treating you with laser, Dave will review behavioral modification practices to increase your chances of quitting smoking for good.
While many find positive results with 2 treatments, a small percentage may require additional “booster” treatments for satisfactory results.
Dave asks that clients complete the two treatments included with the program fee before judging results.
Is There Scientific Research For Laser Therapy Quit Smoking?
Despite what some doctors or skeptics might say about laser therapy, there is scientific evidence that supports the efficacy of stimulating energy points (acupuncture points) to quit nicotine, alcohol, marijuana, and more.
Conclusions: The PLA (Painless Laser Acupuncture) technique for smoking cessation not only helps smokers stop smoking but also restores their homeostasis and good health. By utilizing optimal auricular points, body acupuncture points, and meridian channels and applying proper laser energy dosages, the homeostatic and healing processes can be synergized.
Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29937971/
Conclusions: Participation in NADA was positively associated with feeling better about oneself, improved energy, the likelihood of employment upon discharge, and decreased alcohol use at the 3-month follow-up and 6-month follow-up. The NADA group reported less tobacco use at six months.

Is Laser Therapy Effective For Vaping Nicotine, E-Cigarettes, or Chewing Tobacco?
Yes. Whether you smoke, vape, utilize E-cigarettes, chew nicotine gum or tobacco – Lazer Dave’s treatment approach and high success rate applies to all forms of nicotine consumption.
Is Laser Therapy Safe?

It has little to no side effects and is generally well-tolerated. Dave always completes a thorough health history with each client in order to facilitate informed consent. For more information on the safety of laser therapy, please read this blog post: https://ottawalasersolutions.com/is-laser-therapy-safe/.
Are There Any Side Effects With Laser Therapy?
Side effects are very uncommon. Usually, patients report that they feel relaxed and sleep more than usual following their first treatment. Many are surprised at the ease with which they can quit smoking with laser therapy versus other methods.
Is Laser Therapy Painful?
No. Only gentle laser light is utilized in your treatments. Most patients describe treatments as pleasant and very relaxing. Some people feel little sensation, while others may feel light pressure, warmth, or a relaxing “heaviness” in their arms and legs.
Will I Gain Weight After Quitting Smoking Using Laser Therapy?
Your treatment includes the stimulation of appetite suppression points to discourage your desire for food as a substitute for cigarettes. Many professionals charge extra for this. Lazer Dave includes treatment of these points in his program fee.
How Many Laser Therapy Treatments Will I Need?
People utilizing Dave’s Ottawa Stop Smoking Laser Treatments receive the initial treatment plus a second treatment usable within two weeks of their initial appointment. The majority of clients are successful with two treatments. However, a minority may require additional “booster” treatment for satisfactory and long-term results.
What Is The Success Rate Of Laser Therapy For Nicotine Cessation?
Ottawa Laser Solutions’ success rates for smoking and nicotine cessation are consistent with this scientific study’s effectiveness rate of 87.5% https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29937971/.
Maximum success rates are promoted when clients, in addition to pursuing laser quit treatment, also take responsibility by following the GROUND RULES and PREPARATION recommendations presented on page 2 of the Laser Quit Therapy Prep Guide.
How Much Does Laser Therapy To Quit Smoking Cost?
The Ottawa Quit Smoking Laser Program costs $300 (+ HST). The fee includes initial treatment plus an additional treatment (useable within two weeks of the initial appointment). Subsequent “booster” treatments (if required) are $85 (+ HST).
Please note: a $50 deposit is required towards the program’s total cost. You will be requested to make this deposit during registration. The deposit policy is 100% NON-NEGOTIABLE.
Why A $50 Deposit?
Lazer Dave is often asked, ” Why do you require a $50 deposit for your laser therapy quit programs?”
The short answer is that Lazer Dave is interested in only treating clients who are seriously committed to smoking cessation. A $50 deposit demonstrates commitment.
Lazer Dave’s deposit policy also helps to preserve his high success rates and the goodwill he has built up over the years offering this specialized service.
How Long Are Laser Therapy Treatments?
Individual treatment duration is typically 45 minutes for the first time and 30-45 minutes for subsequent treatments.
Do I Stop Smoking Before My First Laser Therapy Treatment?
Dave recommends you cut back as much AS POSSIBLE and institute as many of the GROUND RULES and PREPARATION recommendations listed on page 2 of the Laser Quit Therapy Prep Guide BEFORE your first appointment.
This means having your LAST CIGARETTE at LEAST 2-6 hours BEFORE your FIRST APPOINTMENT. It is advantageous to be experiencing cravings for nicotine/cigarettes when you arrive for your first appointment. This increases the chance that you will feel noticeable results during your first treatment, which promotes a robust psychological boost that the laser is indeed “working.”
After your first appointment, it is desirable to stop smoking/consuming ALL sources of nicotine ENTIRELY and follow the recommendations covered in the Prep Guide. Consult with your doctor regarding any changes in your use of medications, substances, supplements, etc.
Laser Therapy Testimonial
Can I “Cut Back” Slowly Smoking After My First Laser Therapy Treatment?
After your first appointment, it is desirable to stop smoking ENTIRELY and let the laser and your behavior changes, and other strategies do the rest. Some people do not start feeling noticeable effects of laser therapy until 24 hours AFTER they have QUIT ENTIRELY consuming ALL SOURCES of nicotine. If someone attempts to cut back gradually, they may require further booster treatment(s) to increase their chances of success.
How Do I Prepare Ahead Of Time To Optimize The Chances That I Will Quit With The Treatments Included With The Laser Quit Program Fee?
To optimize results and maximize the chances of success with Lazer Dave’s Laser Quit Programs, clients should:
- Incorporate as many of the suggestions presented in the “Laser Quit Therapy Prep Guide” BEFORE your first appointment.
- Schedule Your First Appointment at a time when your general stress levels will NOT BE ABNORMALLY HIGH or it will be more difficult than usual to quit (i.e., scheduling your first appointment right before a holiday when many people might be smoking around you).
- Try to have your last cigarette at least 2-6 HOURS BEFORE your FIRST appointment. It is optimal to be experiencing nicotine cravings when you arrive for your first treatment. Abstinence before treatment promotes a higher chance that you will quickly NOTICE noticeable results during or by the end of the first treatment. This promotes a significant psychological boost that the laser is indeed “working” versus not noticing more robust results until further treatment has accrued.
If you do not follow the above preparatory steps, please note that you may not “feel” more robust results until you have completed your second treatment and have abstained from smoking for at least 24 hours. Furthermore, if you do not follow the above-recommended preparation steps, you also increase the chances of requiring extra booster treatment(s) to promote satisfactory results.
Should I Consume Nicorette, Use The Patch, Or Use Other Aids?
Dave advises that you use only the strategies he suggests in the Prep Guide. Always consult your doctor regarding medication changes, supplements, or similar.
Who Performs Laser Treatment? How Is Service Billed? What Will My Receipt Display?
