Cold Laser Therapy for Weight Management in Toronto
At IMD Laser Clinic, we use the Theralase Low Level (Cold) laser for weight management.
Cold Laser Therapy Treatment is a remarkably effective non-invasive, non-toxic treatment.
Our weight loss program is a succession of the following treatments:
- Needleless acupuncture using a laser
- Behavioral Modification addiction counseling training
- Addiction counseling training
- Nutritional counseling training
The program that we offer works along the same principle as acupuncture but we don't use needles, therefore, there is no piercing of the skin. We use a low level laser (also called a cold or therapeutic laser) to stimulate the acupuncture points rather than piercing the skin with needles. The laser that we use is a medical laser, not a surgical laser so there is no heat or pain. We apply the laser to various points on the body (meridian points) and ears (auricular points). This helps to stimulate your own body's abilities for controlled eating and weight loss.
This technology coupled with our behavioural modification, addiction counseling and nutritional guidance has a high percentage weight loss success rate.
There are no negative side effects associated with the therapy.
Is it Right For me?
Based on traditional Chinese medicine, ear acupuncture, also known as auriculartherapy, targets specific ear points that are used to release neurotransmitters in the brain such as dopimine, serotonin, and endorphins, the pleasure center of the brain, which helps to break the addiction cycle. When you stimulate an acupoint (an acupuncture nerve point) on your ear or on your body, your brain can release the neurotransmitters that eliminate cravings from addiction withdrawal.
What Happens when I have the treatment?
The areas of the body that we work on are: the ears, arms, wrist, hand, lower leg, ankle, and feet. There is no discomfort. We just ask that you wear loose fitting slacks or shorts so that we can have access to the knee area and also loose fitting or short sleeves so that we can have access to the upper arm area.
The stimulation of certain points helps us to reduce your appetite usually about 30% - 50%. We also help to stimulate your metabolism and get that working better for you. We also do points to help take away the cravings for sweets like sugar, chocolate, breads, etc., the things you shouldn't be eating while trying to lose weight.
Things to Consider
We will also ask that you try to do some form of exercise and of course eat healthy. If you follow a diet or exercise program, synced with laser treatments will enhance your weight loss results.
If you are considering to lose weight there are a number of questions you should ask to help you to decide whether to have a treatment and where to have it carried out.
