Smoking cessation laser therapy
Effective solutions to help employers implement a smoke-free workplace.

"Paying for an employee's tobacco cessation treatment provides more return on investment than any other adult treatment or prevention benefit."

Omega laser therapy is the premier provider of smoking cessation services to businesses across Ontario and Quebec.

Why is smoking so costly to employers, employees and the insurer?

We team up with corporations that wish to improve the health and productivity of their workforce. More specifically, we help employers of all sizes and budgets provide workplace-based assistance to employees interested in quitting smoking. Our innovative wellness solution is easy, efficient and cost-saving.

Our staff can set-up treatment in your company's conference room, making it more economical, quick and convenient for all involved. Each employee would require one 25 minute initial laser treatment plus a 10 minutes consultation. Any follow up after that would be made directly at our offices locally.

We know this works and we're excited to offer this program to your organization.

Just have someone from your organization contact Sylvie at corporate sales 1-877-242-0775 if you have additional questions - or would like to discuss how to move forward with our corporate program.

Dear John, I just wanted to let you know how happy I am to finally be rid of smoking. My kids and wife are extremely happy as am I. I can't believe using a laser has helped me quit. I will recommend it to anyone I meet who's wanting to quit. It's definitely the easiest way around. Thank you again!
-- Adam Peterson

I had heard about laser therapy to quit smoking. I must admit that I was a bit skeptical but when one of my co-workers arrived to work Monday smoke free I became a believer. I was treated by John and he has helped me become a non smoker after smoking a pack a day for over 20 years. Thank you so much John. I breathe much better now and it feels good to know I've finally licked this habit for good.
-- Marie Fisher

I didn't expect it to be so easy. I was a little apprehensive about the treatment but my concerns were put aside by Omega, who were very professional in their consultation, and listened and understood my fears on giving up smoking and answered them in a way that inspired confidence in myself, I have never looked back.

I have been a lifetime smoker and had tried just about every way to kick the addiction. Hypnotherapy, Nicotine Patches, Nicotine Gum, Books on quitting, and most of all Willpower! All with little or no success, until I tried Laser Therapy after viewing a document on the subject. At last I had found an effective way of quitting smoking for good, without the usual withdrawal effect and anxieties. At last I had gotten rid of something I'd been trying to quit for years. It was like a millstone had been lifted from me, all the years of doing something that I knew was bad for my health but was unable to stop. No more feelings of guilt every time I lit up a cigarette. Now I was free to get on with my life!
-- Peter Wallace

I walked into a clinic 12 years ago with two friends who also wanted to quit smoking cigarettes. I was heavily addicted to nicotine and tried everything on the market to quit smoking. Due to asthma and bronchitis, I had to quit smoking as I couldn't breath. I was a chain smoker and smoked 40 cigarettes a day! After my first treatment with laser therapy I walked out a non smoker. It is very empowering to get over an addiction so powerful as cigarettes. I now enjoy helping people to get rid of cigarettes with the Omega Smoking Cessation Program.
