FAQ

Low-level laser therapy operates on principles similar to the 5,000 year old ancient Asian healing art of Acupuncture. Acupuncture is known to reduce tension, increase circulation, and enable the body to relax more deeply. Laser Therapy treatment is a noninvasive method used to balance the energy flow between meridians. Laser therapy is considered a non-medical procedure. Treatment with low-level laser helps to promote the release of endorphins in the body. Endorphins are natural chemicals in your body that signal your system to decrease stress and increase energy. Omega uses a low powered (soft) laser to treat nicotine addiction. The laser is no more powerful than a 60-watt light bulb. Energy points related to addiction are identified and treated with a combination of a helium neon laser and electrobiostimulation. The entire procedure is external, non-invasive, and non-thermal. Laser Therapy is painless. During the laser treatment energy points on your hands, face, and ears are treated. If a client feels the sensation from the low-level laser, they may feel a warm, pulsating and sometimes-tingling feeling. Some clients may only feel a calming sensation from the laser. The low-level laser acts as a tool to assist the client through the initial physical withdrawals from nicotine. The first 72 hours of quitting is considered to be the crucialdetoxification period. The laser mimics a similar endorphin release for a period of 3-5 days following treatment, which aids in alleviating stress associated with giving up nicotine. The treatment has been used for over three decades in Europe and Canada.

The low power laser stimulates afferent terminations of the pain transmitting A-delta fibers in the Central Nervous System. Stimulation at specific acupuncture points causes the anterior pituitary of the brain to produce endorphins through the breakdown of a large molecular complex known as ACTH/Blipotronphin. This molecule is broken down to produce B-endorphin and other opiates known as Enkephalins. This increased production of endorphins provides analgesic effects to combat withdrawal by binding at receptor sites of inflammation, nerve fibers and their receptive field, and throughout the autonomic and immune systems. Endorphins also exerts a powerful influence in the Central Nervous System on the Nucleus Raphe Magnus which in turn activate the descending control system resulting in inhibition of the dorsal horns and modulation of pain.

The treatment is very relaxing with no negative side effects.
