What everyone asks us.

The goal of the treatment is mainly to reduce that constant physical sensation of needing a cigarette, which many people experience as the hardest part of addiction. The cigarette may still come to mind, especially at first, because of habits and automatic patterns built up over time — but without that ongoing physical need for the substance.

Because the addiction is not only mental. Over time the body gets used to receiving relaxation and compensation through the cigarette and tends to naturally produce less of substances linked to well-being, such as endorphins. That is why many people feel a real physical need for the cigarette.

No, it is a non-invasive electronic stimulation. Some points may be a little more sensitive, but it is generally not perceived as a painful treatment.

The programme usually lasts between 40 minutes and about an hour and includes both the preliminary consultation and the practical treatment, performed on the same day.

In most cases, yes. If needed, the treatment can be repeated free of charge within 90 days with a second reinforcement stimulation.

People are not all the same, and the body's response can vary from person to person. In a small percentage of cases a specific frequency or type of stimulation may not be sufficient. That is exactly why the device works with different frequencies and pathways: if necessary, a second stimulation is performed on another frequency, already included in the 90 days.

Because in the first days the body is rebalancing itself with respect to addiction, and coffee and alcohol tend to strongly activate the compensatory mechanism linked to the cigarette. It is a bit like sending the brain the opposite message at the very moment when the body is trying to step out of addiction.

Yes. The treatment mainly works on the mechanisms of compensation and physical need linked to addiction, which is why it is also used for IQOS, e-cigarettes and cannabis.

Generally no. In the first days some people may feel a little more nervous, restless or slightly drowsier, because the body is readjusting to the absence of the substance. For this reason a small natural support — available in herbal stores — is also provided.

Weight gain is not automatic. It often happens because the person seeks a replacement compensation through food. That is exactly why it is important to also work on the behavioural component and on daily habits.

Many people unconsciously use the cigarette as a way to compensate for stress and tension. For this reason the programme also indirectly works on that physical component of compensation linked to addiction.

Yes, especially at the beginning. However, the thought of the cigarette and the physical need for the substance are two different things. What generally changes the most is precisely that constant physical sensation of need.

The points are not chosen manually or randomly. The device works through a computerised system that, based on the parameters entered for the person, develops the most suitable pathway. There are in fact 42 different pathways and the computer selects the one most indicated based on the patient's response and parameters.
