Low level lasers (LLL) are lasers with a wavelength 600 and 1000 nanometers and power ranging from 5 to 500 Mw. The bio-stimulatory properties of LLL have been found to accelerate wound healing, tissue repair and regeneration. Low level Laser (LLL) has been tested to treat established hypertrophic scarring but it has not been studied in the prevention. The fact that preventing hypertrophic scarring is far easy than treating, hence keeping this fact in mind this study tested the role of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) in prevention of development of hypertrophic scarring.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
