Low Laser Level Therapy (LLLT)

Low level laser treatment (LLLT), is a fabulous therapy for resolution of localized fat and fibrous cellulite (Jackson RF, Roche GC, Shanks SC. A double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial evaluating the ability of low-level laser therapy to improve the appearance of cellulite. Lasers Surg Med. 2013 Mar;45(3):141-7). It uses very small levels of light, almost as a drug, to reduce fat, but not by killing the fat cells, rather by changing their function and having them release fatty acids and triglycerides. Two other indications that benefit greatly from LLLT are diabetic peripheral neuropathy with pain and onychomycosis (nail fungus).
