About Nicotine Withdrawal
Nicotine withdrawal has been said to parallel that of cocaine and heroin. This is partially 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%. Moreover, the patch and gum are nicotine based – common sense dictates that you should not use nicotine to overcome nicotine!

Dave’s 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 using laser therapy:
STEP ONE – Lazer Dave’s Prep Guide
Quitting smoking begins with a strong desire for change. Then after making your first appointment — you will be emailed Lazer Dave’s Prep Guide.
This concise guide outlines Key Habit Change suggestions and supplements that when combined with laser therapy increase the chances dramatically of you quitting smoking for good.
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 withdrawal process to nicotine.
What Happens Before My First Laser Therapy Treatment To Stop Smoking?
You will be asked to complete an online health history form and be emailed ahead of time Lazer Dave’s Prep Guide. This guide contains important information and Key Habit Change suggestions that will maximize the chances of you successfully quitting nicotine for good. It is important that you follow as many of the recommendations as possible.
What To Expect On Your First Laser Therapy Treatment To Quit Smoking
When you come for your first laser to quit smoking treatment, you will get comfortable by lying down on a comfortable treatment table while listening to relaxing music.
Dave will explain the procedure to you and ask you to wear protective eyewear. Dave will use various laser devices to treat “energy” points on the face, ears, neck, arms, wrist, hands, lower legs and feet.
You may feel a slight warm or tingling sensation through your body. As the points are stimulated with the laser light, your body should begin to release endorphins and other powerful neuro-chemicals which 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 relaxed, calm, and best of all your desire for nicotine will likely have diminished. In addition to treating you with laser, Dave will review behavioural modification practices to increase your chances of quitting smoking for good.
While many find positive results with 1-2 treatments, a small percentage may require additional “booster” treatments for longer term success.
Dave always recommends clients complete the 2 treatments included with the program fee before judging individual response and results.
Is There Scientific Research For Laser Therapy Quit Smoking?
Despite what some doctor’s 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 the optimal auricular and body acupuncture points and meridian channels and applying laser energy dosages, the homeostatic hence healing process can be synergized.

Conclusions: Participation in NADA positively associated with feeling better about oneself and improved energy, likelihood of employment upon discharge, and decreased alcohol use at 3 month follow up and 6-month follow-up. NADA group reported less tobacco use at 6 months.

Do I Stop Smoking Before My First Laser Therapy Treatment?
Dave recommends you cut back as much AS POSSIBLE and institute his key habit change suggestions and other recommendations from his guide “Lazer Dave’s Laser Therapy Prep Guide” BEFORE your first appointment.
This means having your LAST CIGARETTE at LEAST 5-6 hours BEFORE your FIRST APPOINTMENT.
It is advantageous to be experiencing cravings for nicotine/cigarettes when you arrive to your first appointment. The rationale for this is explained in “Lazer Dave’s Laser Therapy Prep Guide” in addition to other helpful recommendations on how best to prepare for your first laser quit appointment.
After your first appointment, it is desirable to stop smoking ENTIRELY and let the laser and Key Habit Change suggestions and other suggestions as per Lazer Dave’s Guide do the rest.
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 behaviour changes, supplements and other changes do the rest. Many do not start feeling the full 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 will likely require further booster treatment(s) to increase the 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, the following 3 suggestions should be followed:
- Incorporate as many of the suggestions presented in “Lazer Dave’s Laser Therapy Prep Guide” BEFORE your first appointment. This includes key supplements, behaviour modifications and environment changes.
- Schedule Your First Appointment at a time where your general stress levels will NOT BE ABNORMALLY HIGH or it will be more difficult then normal to quit (i.e. scheduling your first appointment right before say a holiday where many people might be smoking around you).
- Have your last cigarette at least 5-6 HOURS BEFORE your FIRST appointment versus having your last one right before. This promotes that you will be experiencing nicotine cravings when you arrive for treatment. This usually is BENEFICIAL as this promotes a higher chance that you will feel NOTICEABLE and TANGIBLE results at the completion of the first treatment or shortly thereafter. This is an important psychological boost as it is a clear indicator early on in your treatment program that the laser is indeed “working” versus not noticing stronger results until further treatment(s) have accrued.
If you do not follow the above preparatory steps — please note that you may not “feel” stronger results until completion of your 2nd treatment and/or you have abstained from smoking for at least 24 hours. Furthermore, if you do not not follow the above recommended preparation steps, you also increase the chances that you will require extra booster treatment(s) for satisfactory results.
Can I Consume Nicorette, Use The Patch Or Other Aids?
Dave advises that you use NO other aids other than the ones he suggests in his guide. Always consult with your doctor regarding any changes in your medications, supplements or similar.
Who Performs Laser Treatment? How Is Service Billed? What Will My Receipt Display?
Treatment is performed and billed by 1530910 Ontario Limited. Your receipt for payment will show service performed as “Laser Quit ******* (Your Program/Booster Treatment)” or similar.
What Can I Do To Promote Maximum Results For My Treatments?
Dave is most interested in treating clients that take the time to prepare ahead of time. Good preparation will promote successful results.
To prepare, please complete the following 3 steps:
- Reading the entire webpage of the service you are interested in.
- Read the General FAQ page.
- Read and institute as many suggestions as possible in Lazer Dave’s Prep Guide.
