Using a soft laser light, Laser Center of Brewster's treatment stimulates specific energy points in the ears, face, and hands helping to promote the release of endorphins in the body.  Endorphins are the body's natural chemicals which help calm and relax patients, making it overwhelmingly easier to cope with cravings and withdrawal symptoms that arise from giving up nicotine.

A therapist educates and counsels the patient during the 30-minute treatment.  Patients are equipped with the knowledge of how to deal with their new lifestyle change of quitting smoking once and for all.  The session also addresses the patient's current habits, withdrawal symptoms and cravings in addition to providing nutritional information which will help their bodies become nicotine free.

The treatment has been used for over 30 years in Europe and Canada.  In May 2003, an Institutional Review Board (IRB) authorized investigational clinical trials using low-level laser therapy in compliance with FDA regulations.  Clinical trials are conducted to measure the safety and effectiveness of low-level laser therapy to treat nicotine addiction.  The IRB is an organization chartered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to oversee clinical trials, which collect data on new medical treatments.  IRBs exist to ensure the rights of human study subjects protecting them by being in accordance with FDA guidelines; all treatment being offered must be safe, as well as ethical.  The FDA has already ruled low-level laser therapy as a 'non-significant risk' and the US investigational trials are being funded through patient participation.  Laser Center of Brewster is the first full scale nicotine addiction clinic based in Brewster.

At a pack a day, for about eight weeks worth of cigarettes or $399, smokers can be well on their way to a smoke-free life.  Laser Center of Brewster gives free education about nicotine addiction and offers a detoxification program utilizing antioxidants.  For the benefit to patients' health and wealth, Laser Center of Brewster's aser laser therapy is an excellent value.
