The treatment researched at UCLA has been refined and developed into a painless, rapid procedure that takes just minutes to perform. Being prepared to stop smoking is a critical part of your conversion from Smoker to Non- Smoker. Very simply, to be prepared, you must have a real desire to quit using tobacco.

     It is common knowledge that the first three days following the elimination of nicotine intake in the body is a very painful time to endure. For the average smoker, the treatment eliminates the extreme cravings and agonizing symptoms associated with withdrawal. The majority of the patients state without hesitation that they are amazed at how little they even want to use tobacco in any form ... and how easy it is to stop.

     If you are smoking more than the average amount of one pack per day, then you may experience stressful post-treatment symptoms. In such a situation, a retreatrnent may be necessary. If this occurs, please call for an immediate retreatment. There is no additional charge for this service.

     Most smokers have smokers for friends ... so LCSCC urges you to bring your smoking spouse, friend(s) and co-workers with you to your session to give you support during and after the treatment. Even though the treatment will make quitting seem easier, there may still be times when you are either tempted or just habitually drawn to thinking about smoking.
