Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also known as cold laser therapy, is sometimes used as an alternative treatment to help people stop smoking. The therapy involves applying low-intensity lasers to specific points on the body, similar to acupuncture points, with the goal of stimulating the release of endorphins and balancing neurotransmitters. This is thought to reduce nicotine cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and stress, which may aid in smoking cessation.

How It Works:

• Laser Points: The lasers are typically applied to points on the face, hands, and ears, which are believed to correspond to areas of the brain responsible for nicotine addiction and withdrawal symptoms.
• Endorphin Release: The theory behind LLLT for smoking cessation is that it stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals, to combat the physical and emotional stress associated with quitting smoking.
• Relaxation and Stress Reduction: Some proponents of the treatment claim that LLLT helps with relaxation, stress reduction, and managing withdrawal symptoms.

Key Points:

• Non-invasive and Painless: LLLT is a non-invasive, painless procedure, which makes it appealing to some people.
