Smoking Cessation in Aberdeen
Three Options to Stop Smoking in Aberdeen
- LASER THERAPY using Traditional Acupuncture points
- Hypnotherapy with positive psychology
Laser Therapy (Cold Photobiomodulation)
How Does Laser Treatment Work?
The light laser is applied to specific energy points located on the hands, ears, nose and wrists (Acupuncture points for detoxification, withdrawal of harmful chemicals, decreasing stress and anxiety and increasing lung function). We apply the laser at a specific wavelength in a specific order for a specific amount of time which stimulates the release of endorphin's, which in turn reduces cravings. Nicotine normally releases endorphins to a smoker giving a false sense of relaxation. When you stop smoking, the sudden drop in endorphin levels can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Luckily, laser therapy is fast and more effective than patches, gum or e-cigarettes. It is a massive 64% successful in allowing you to fully cease smoking compared with a measly 5-10% effectiveness with the other common methods available.

What Happens During a laser Session to stop smoking in Aberdeen?
The programme normally consists of two sessions. On your first visit, we establish why you are quitting. Effectiveness focuses on self-belief and positive thinking. We help you deal with the emotional, physical, and psychological aspects of quitting smoking. During your session we will discuss your lifestyle, the role smoking plays in your life, when and where you smoke, the factors that lead you to smoke and your dependency level. We can offer you a carbon monoxide test to measure the amount of carbon monoxide currently in your lungs and blood stream. We use the carbon monoxide monitor as a motivational tool to help track your success. Your first session usually takes an hour and at the end of this, you will be a non-smoker.
A second session will be scheduled for 2 or 3 days later after which the nicotine levels have been reduced to that of a non-smoker. You may experience a few withdrawal symptoms (see below) so this booster session will help to keep you motivated and reassured. A last session can be scheduled for 1 week later if your system needs a boost.

Traditional Acupuncture in Aberdeen
Acupuncturists target certain areas of the body for certain conditions. When it comes to helping smokers quit, pressure points in the ears are especially effective in suppressing cravings.
“The cranial nerves, accessed through the ears, stimulate the nervous system to suppress the urge for cigarettes,” explains Esther Marsal, (our traditional Acupuncturist in Aberdeen). “We are trying not only to suppress cravings, but also to engage the relaxation response. We are really manipulating the body using needles and targeted pressure to help support people as they work through withdrawal symptoms.”
After acupuncture, you may have fewer cravings, decreased irritability, improved mood, improved bowel movements and improved sleep.
Hypnotherapy and Positive psychology
Dr Chnanis works with you privately to explore the sub conscious reasons for addiction and then how to overcome them safely and effectively. Normally sessions last 60 minutes and 4 x weekly are recommended for best results. You will leave each session feeling determined and in control of your choices. Positive support will be available throughout the treatment plan. Your emotional transition, and negative behavioural patterns can also be explored which will help you become more positive and confident.
What does it cost?
- Laser therapy is £400 for 2 sessions.
- Clinical Hypnotherapy is £300 for 4 sessions.
Which one should I choose?
Well, I suppose that is really based on your own preferences. Some people want to know why they are plagued with an affinity for addiction and want to work on the root of the matter – so choose hypnotherapy and positive psychology. Others want a quick, painless solution that can be done in their lunch break and will start acting straight away, effectively going cold turkey – so choose laser therapy.
There are mountains of research out there. The result is clear that gums and replacement cigarettes only work for 8% of people and are always short-lived results, if any.
These therapies work – all you need to do is pick your favourite! Call us now to book your first session and start your new healthier, happier life. 01224 211517.
