What is Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)?
Low Level Laser Therapy, or LLLT, is the term commonly used to describe the bio-stimulating effects of laser light. Laser light has the ability to penetrate the skin surface and increase cellular activity without damaging any tissue. Consequently, low level laser therapy is non-invasive, painless, and relaxing. The laser light naturally increases cell metabolism and stimulates the release of endorphins. Endorphins are the same “feel good” chemicals released when cigarette smoke is inhaled by a smoker.

LLLT is the application of a cold “pure” laser light to treat certain conditions. Cold Laser Therapy has been used successfully to treat many kinds of muscoskeletal injuries because it promotes healing and tissue repair. Laser Light Therapy has also been used for alcohol and drug addiction, weight control and smoking cessation. Healing Laser Clinics uses a low level laser to treat clients who would like to quit smoking.
Low level laser therapy is the application of a “cold” pure laser light to treat certain conditions. While low level laser therapy relatively new to the United States, for smoking cessation, it has been in practice internationally in countries throughout Europe & Canada for over 30 years. It has been used to successfully treat many musculoskeletal injuries as it promotes healing & tissue repair while reducing inflammation. Low level laser therapy has also been found to be extremely successful in the treatment of smoking cessation, weight control and stress management.
Most people are aware of high-powered lasers either in the context of a “Star Wars”-type weapon or as a surgical tool, which burns and cuts tissue. Less well known is that low-energy lasers have been used internationally for decades to promote pain relief, wound healing, immune modulation and to strengthen the regenerative forces of the body tissues.
