How does the Prostop Therapy work?
Prostop is using soft laser techniques to help stop smoking. The therapy is aimed at breaking nicotine addiction. Laser therapy is the most recent development in acupuncture. A laser beam is a dense ray of light which penetrates deeply enough to stimulate the chosen (acupuncture) point, without actually penetrate the skin (like a needle). The treatment is painless and completely safe. The combination of the chosen points help restore the natural balance of the body. Smoking (in fact: nicotine) decreases the number of nicotine receptors in the brain. The laser stimulates the production of endorphins, with sooth these receptors in their desire for nicotine. Endorfine creates a sense of relaxing and harmonizing. Because of these properties, physical and mental inconveniences from quitting are virtually non-existent. It allows the former smoker to get through the difficult period immediately after quitting without to much physical discomfort.
The treatment itself
Prior to the actual laser treatment the therapist will evaluate the medical condition, use of medication and reasons and motives to stop smoking (intake/anamnesis). After the treatment each client will receive Tips & Advices which will guide the stop smoking behaviour and help the client to stay motivated.
Motivation
It is of vital importance that the smoker has made the decision to quit smoking. The smoker needs to be convinced that he wants to continue his life as a non-smoker. This personal effort is very important to get the best possible results from the Prostop treatment. Prostop can definitively help the smoker a lot, but Prostop can’t perform miracles.
