Laser to Quit Smoking Sydney is now available in Sydney CBD.

AcuQuit’s Quit Smoking Sydney clinic located in Sydney CBD now offers Laser therapy to reduce physical cravings and support permanent smoking cessation.

According to the Centre for Epidemiology and Research, approximately 16% of individuals residing in NSW engage in daily or occasional smoking, with men at 19% and women at 14%. A survey conducted in 2008 on NSW school students indicates that one-quarter of them have tried tobacco at least once, with 17% having smoked in the past year and 7% in the past week.

Northern Sydney had a 14% smoking rate, Eastern Sydney had an 11% smoking rate, Inner-West Sydney had a 10% smoking rate and 6% of people from Sydney North Shore smoked cigarettes. MT Druitt has the highest smoking rate in NSW and the third highest in the country, with a shocking 31.2 per cent of people addicted to cigarettes.

The treatment objective is to reduce the physical symptoms of nicotine addiction and withdrawal (such as cravings) to enable people to quit smoking. The overall treatment time is approximately 45-60 minutes.

Our treatment is drug free and we do not use any quit smoking hypnosis or quit smoking hypnotherapy techniques.

Does Laser to Stop Smoking really work?

There are many research articles available examining Acupuncture’s role in addiction and the potential for treatment to reduce and eliminate dependency.

Laser Acupuncture had an 84% success rate in recent research (Lim 2018) with many participants reporting they no longer had the urge to smoke. [1]

According to recent research conducted by Lim in 2018, Laser Acupuncture demonstrated an 84% success rate with numerous participants claiming that they no longer experienced the desire to smoke. [1]

Laser acupoint stimulation does indeed modify the physical symptoms of withdrawal and makes it possible for motivated persons to succeed in overcoming habitual smoking of tobacco, concluded a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized study. [2]

The most recent Cochrane Systematic Review (White 2014) states that the 2008 Kerr study on laser stimulation is strongly positive at both short and long-term outcomes. [3]

Earlier research had shown that Laser Acupuncture had a 71% success rate in heavy smoking patients. [4]

According to external research, Laser Acupuncture treatments and protocols may produce positive results. However, conflicting findings in other papers have led to the evidence being regarded as inconclusive. Since the AcuQuit treatment is unique, treatment methods and outcomes may differ from existing research. We advise patients to make an informed decision and understand that our treatment does not guarantee success.
