What weight loss treatment will I receive at Sexton Laser Therapy?

• Your treatment will be the combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Low Level Laser Therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps you with the psychological side of the weight loss process while the low level laser biostimulation therapy helps with the physical cravings and anxiety. The combination of the two therapies will help make losing weight easier. 

What does the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy entail?

• The laser therapy is designed to be complementary to your own diet and exercise program. While we do not recommend a particular diet, the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy will give you helpful tips to handle cravings and habits that help put you in control when dealing with your eating habits.

How does LLLT work foir weight loss?

• We use a low-level laser (also known as a therapeutic or cold laser). It works along the same principle as acupuncture, stimulating specific spots with an infrared light beam, instead of needles. It is a very relaxing and pleasant treatment. Endorphins such as serotonin and dopamine are produced naturally by your body. Endorphins act as mood lifters and anesthetics. When you eat, food stimulates the release of endorphins. This makes the act of eating pleasurable and relaxing. However, when the amounts of food are reduced, the sudden drop in endorphin levels leads to cravings. The laser light stimulates acupuncture points, which in turn stimulate a release of endorphins, relieving the physical symptoms of reduced food intake. LLLT reduces the cravings and stress, restoring balance to your body--the need for food is reduced.We work on two different areas with the treatment. First, we treat points to help control your appetite, and second, we treat several stress and relaxation points to help avoid the physical craving and other symptoms that you would normally experience if you tried to lose weight on your own, such as irritability, short temper, etc. We try to take away all of the negative feelings and make it a smooth transition for you.

Can I use diet drugs during Low Level Laser Therapy?

• No, diet drugs may block the endorphin production that is the goal of the LLLT. Cravings for food in the future will be blocked by the stimulated endorphin production.

Will the treatment hurt?

• No. LLLT is completely painless. There is little or no sensation during treatment. Some people feel a mild, soothing warmth or tingling. In fact, most people describe an extremely relaxed feeling after being treated.

How many treatments do I need?

• Studies have shown that people who are treated four times, over a period of 1 month, have a much higher rate of weight loss, with fewer side effects. 

How much does it cost?

• $295 for four treatments.

Does Insurance cover the cost?

• We have found that most insurance companies do not cover the cost of the treatment at this time. 

How long does the treatment take?

• Your first visit will include a personal consultation, so you should allow 1 hour for that appointment. The following two treatments will take approximately 30 minutes each. If needed, we offer a free "booster" at 6 weeks.

What points on my body are used for laser weight loss?

• The meridian acupuncture points are located on the hands, ears and face. Usually a combination of hand, forearm, wrist, nose and ear acupuncture points are used that are believed to influence the organs and energetic pathways associated with addiction, weight management and hunger control.

Should I do anything prior to coming to the appointment?

• The day of your appointment is the day when you have decided to make a 100% commitment to lose weight. We recommend that you begin a low-calorie, low-fat diet program the day of your first appointment and drink at least one bottle of water prior to you appointment. It would be wise to have a medical checkup to identify any condition that might be a contraindication for LLLT, such as a risk of photosensitivity.

How will I feel after the treatment, and can I drive home?

• Yes, you can drive home. Some people might feel a little light-headed immediately after treatment, but it passes in a few minutes. You will be able to go back to your normal activities, and will notice an absence of physical cravings.

How long do the effects last?

• Between 2 and 7 days. The relaxing effect is a little different for everyone, however, you should feel no cravings for food immediately following the treatment.

Is it medically approved?

• The FDA is currently studying the effectiveness of low level lasers for treating food addiction. There are several ongoing clinical trials of LLLT for a number of conditions. The clinical trials will also be used to develop treatment protocols. We are part of a clinical research trial that allows us to work to develop treatment protocols for the device for food addiction.

Can anyone administer Low Level Laser Therapy for weight loss?

• No. Sexton Laser Therapy staff has obtained authorization through an Institutional Review Board (IRB) to operate in the US under FDA investigational clinical trials for weight loss treatment. Our therapists are trained and certified as part of our inclusion in the research.

Is it guaranteed?

• No. Food is an extremely complicated addiction and everyone deals with the addiction differently. Motivation and commitment levels vary, as well. Because of this, there are no guarantees in any weight loss program. We do believe, however, that given a serious level of commitment to losing weight, laser therapy is among the more effective methods of weight loss. Food addiction consists of two factors: the physical addiction and the mental addiction. The laser treatment is designed to relieve the physical craving symptoms, but you will still think about eating. If you have been an overeater for over a year, you will be making a huge change to your daily routine when you reduce your food intake. We are specially trained to help you eliminate your emotional desire to eat and will give you nutritional guidelines to improve your overall health. Therefore, while we cannot make a guarantee, we will do everything in our power to ensure your success. Laser treatment with education and your commitment are what it is all about.
