JustQuit provides you with a quick method to quit smoking. Low-level laser therapy stimulates the body to release endorphins which helps eliminate the cravings caused by nicotine withdrawal. The treatment is quick, easy and not only painless, but calming and relaxing. And best of all, it really WORKS!!

HOW DOES IT WORK?:

Smoking causes your body to increase it’s level of “endorphins”– the body’s natural calming chemicals. When you stop smoking, the endorphins drop suddenly, causing the “craving” you experience. Laser therapy promotes the release of endorphins for the first three to five days of nicotine withdrawal, reducing your cravings during the most stressful period associated with quitting smoking.

WE FOCUS ON THE FOLLOWING:

  1. The desire to quit
  2. The physical
  3. The habit
  4. Getting rid of nicotine.

TOTAL COST:   $345

-Includes:

  1.  Initial Laser Acupuncture treatment to Quit Smoking (Full Treatment)
  2.  Follow up treatment the next day.
  3.  One follow up treatment (10 minutes) which is only good for up to 3 months. (If needed-conditions apply) Additional points for Weight Management.
