I’d just like to thank Linda for her support and professional intervention. I’ve been smoking for 60 years and have been cigarettte free now for over 4 weeks..the first time in 6 decades…this is no small accomplishment and has been the only thing that’s worked in spite of trying almost every other cessation strategy. You are truly changing lives!

Mum of two Linda from Ayrshire gave up her smoking habit with us in January 2010 using laser therapy – but quickly put on almost a stone. However, Linda soon lost the extra pounds with the laser and has never felt better or fitter.

I know people use it as an excuse and I was worried I would put on weight. That was why the laser therapy works so well. Admittedly I did put on almost a stone when I stopped – but Anne Penman Laser Therapy uses the laser for weight loss as well so within a couple of months I was feeling fantastic – healthy, smoke-free and my weight gain had disappeared.

People reading this may want to quit but be worried about the weight gain. Don’t be. I was lucky,’ says 44-year-old Linda, a beauty therapist, ‘because Anne Penman was one of my clients and I suddenly realized I had the answer right in front of me!

I started my course of laser treatments in January 2010 – it was my New Year resolution – and I haven’t had a cigarette since then. The reason I loved the laser – as well as it working! – was it did help me with the weight gain and the stress of dealing with stopping smoking. And with Anne, her unique service is she also has a 24-hour helpline so I felt the support package and aftercare were tremendous.

The only way to describe Pamela Wallace is a yummy mummy – and now this glamorous mum of two is going to be featured on trendy mums website www.yummymummybeauty.com

Pamela quit her nicotine habit last April – thanks to her young daughter Lucy who talked her into trying to stop.  And after discovering Anne Penman that’s exactly what 39-year-old Pamela did.

“I had wanted to quit for years,” says health support worker Pamela, “especially in my job when you actually see the appalling results of smoking.  But I’ve got to say it was actually my 11-year-old daughter Lucy who eventually made me stop.”

“I think the kids get so much health education at school these days and when she found out I smoked she hated it.  Before I discovered Anne’s method of laser for smoking cessation I tried patches, nicotine gum and even went to classes but none of them worked.”

Pamela smoked around 7 cigarettes a day for over 20 years.  She admits she was a secret smoker.

“I felt ashamed at smoking but could never find the will power to stop,” says Lucy who lives in Carluke, Lanarkshire with her husband and two children.  “The day I had my first laser treatment was the start of a new life – and a healthy one.”

“I would recommend anyone to try out laser therapy so that they can look to the future and have a long, healthy, happy life also.  At first, it seemed a lot of money to book the three-session course but now when I count up the money I have saved in the last year I realise it is worth every penny.”

And the last word goes to Pamela’s gorgeous daughter Lucy:

“I’m so glad my mum doesn’t smell of cigarettes anymore.”

Sandra Finan from Dundee had a 30-a-day smoking habit and it was something she never imaged capable of breaking.

She had been a smoker for 45years since the age of 21 but as her health deteriorated she knew she had to try to stop despite trying many times with patches, gum, you name it.

However, after one laser therapy session with Anne Penman, she stopped.

“It was like an amazing miracle,’ 66-year-old retired secretary Sandra told the paper. ‘It was no effort whatsoever and it didn’t take any willpower!”

Another East coast success story – accountant Maggie Wood – was also delighted to share her story with the Evening Telegraph.

She quit her nicotine habit on 1st April 1997 – 28 years after her first cigarette – when she met Anne Penman.
