Frequently Asked Questions 1.) How long does the treatment take and how soon does it take effect? The stop smoking treatment takes about 20 minutes and takes effect immediately. You should feel no physical cravings and your body should be fairly relaxed in preparation for not experiencing nasty withdrawal symptoms. 2) Is the treatment painful and will I be able to drive afterward? Low level laser treatment is totally safe and absolutely painless. A majority of people feel fairly relaxed, but you can certainly drive after the treatment. 3) Does insurance cover the treatment? No, not at this time. The treatment is in FDA trials right now. Laser Solutions is one of the clinics participating in these trials. Hopefully, the treatments will be approved soon, and then perhaps insurance would pay. In the meantime, remember, smokers can easily spend as much on cigarettes over a month or two as the treatment costs! 4) How long will the effects of the treatment last? Once we have succeeded in blocking your physical cravings and withdrawal symptoms, the treatment lasts forever, or until you decide to put nicotine into your system. In other words, if you smoke, you undo the treatment. We do offer one free re-treatment, called a “booster”, that’s good for 6 months following the original treatment. We understand that the psychological attachment to smoking can be very strong, and the habit practically reflexes, so we factor in human frailty and provide one free retreatment in the event the customer wants to try to have “just one..” because if he or she tries “just one”, he or she will be full time smoking within a week—that’s just the nature of nicotine. 5) Does the treatment interfere with any medications? What if I have a pacemaker? No medications interfere with this treatment. A pacemaker is no problem, either. 6) What do you accept for payment? Cash or check. If we are on location away from our office, we prefer cash. 7) How many treatments will I need? Most people need just the one treatment. If you are struggling, or if you give in and have a cigarette, we provide one free retreatment within the 6 months following treatment. After the booster is used of the six months expires, customers receive a lifetime courtesy rate of $50 in the event of relapse. 8) What is your success rate with smokers who do the laser treatment? Our goal is to block the physical withdrawal symptoms from nicotine, and our experience is that the laser is over 90% successful eliminating the cravings and withdrawal symptoms such as irritability and edginess. |
