Yes, it is a low-power laser, causing no danger. It doesn’t produce cuts, burns, or damage to tissues.
Yes, it’s a method that is achieving a 90% success rate in patients, using new technologies and deep relaxation techniques. However, we cannot guarantee its effectiveness as it also depends on the patient’s will.
No, the treatment is completely harmless and entirely safe; the stimulation of the points does not cause any damage to the skin.
No, most patients don’t feel anything except for a slight tingling sensation at specific points. The majority of patients describe the treatment as relaxing and pleasant.

After its successful implementation through the anti-smoking treatment method in Berlin, the company established itself in almost all major German cities the following year. It now has representations in various countries across Europe and Latin America. The Soft-Laser method has been applied in the United States and Canada for over 20 years with excellent results.
Since 2004, Relief has been accumulating extraordinary experiences. Thousands of smokers have become non-smokers with our help. At present, we offer 5 treatments: Anti-Smoking, Allergic Rhinitis, Migraines, Anti-Stress, and Weight Loss.
According to our experience, the success rate is around 90% (Anti-smoking treatment). For those who return to smoking after the treatment (only 10%), we offer a second treatment free of charge within 1 year.
In Portugal, since 2011, the brand has clinics in Braga, Guimarães, Lisbon, Porto, Portimão, and Vila Nova de Gaia, as well as partnerships with health facilities and companies. Our goal is to expand across the mainland and islands. Over more than a decade in Portugal, we’ve helped thousands of smokers quit. Our clients’ satisfaction has been our best marketing tool, driving the brand’s success through word-of-mouth.
