“…Our previous finding showed that LLLT has significant effects on growth factors involved in wound healing, including EGF, FGF, and PDGF, 17 on wound healing, neuropathy, and metabonomics of diabetic patients. 10,18,19 Moreover, its positive effects have been observed in treatment of pressure ulcer, 8 after skin graft surgery, 20,21 and post-cesarean surgery. 22 Several reviews and metaanalyses introduce LLLT as an effective therapeutic modality for wound healing.…”

Introduction: A deep burn ulcer, especially in areas with sensory-motor dysfunction, is hard to cure. Case Report: The patient was a 20-year-old paraplegic girl with a grade 3 necrotic burn ulcer for 3 weeks. We used a fractional Co2 laser along with chemical debridement with trichloroacetic acid (TCA 80%) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) with a 808 nm infrared laser, 6 J/cm2 for the necrotic area, and a 650 nm red laser, 2 J/cm2 for the open wound area. Complete healing occurred after 25 sessions without surgery. Conclusion: Laser debridement along with LLLT and TCA administration may be useful to treat necrotic ulcers without surgery.

“…The role of LLLT for promoting wound healing has long been studied, still there is insufficient literature to design a standard treatment protocol [9][10][11] . Using LLL as an adjunct to conventional treatment of second degree superficial burns is expected to decrease the time of healing, rate of infection, pain and overall cost of treatment.…”

Aim: Second degree superficial burns are painful and heal over a period of two to three weeks time. Multimodality treatment approach is effective in reducing time of healing, pain, rate of complications and overall cost of treatment. Aim of this study is to observe effect of low level laser therapy (LLLT) as an adjunct to conventional therapy for second degree superficial burn. Methods: This article presents a case series of twenty patients in which LLLT was used as an adjunct therapy for target burn areas. Results: Average time taken for complete healing of areas with second degree superficial burns was 11.75 (SD 2.86) days. One patient was healed on day 6; ten patients were healed on day 10, six patients on day 13, and three on day 17. Conclusion: We could not found significant evidence of positive effect of LLLT over rate of wound healing. However its effects are promising and further large multicentric trials are needed to establish its role and standardize its dose parameters.

“…LPLT is believed to exhibit photochemical, photophysical and photobiological effects, with non-ionizing, polarized, coherent and collimable monochromatic light capable of altering cellular behavior, favoring tissue repair. 1,[3][4][5] It is necessary, for its use, to consider the correct parameters associated with the distance between skin and apparatus, radiated area, type of lenses or mirrors used, type of source, output power, beam divergence emitted, application time, depth of fabric, dispersion, absorption and application technique. 6 In addition, wavelength, pulse type, energy density and frequency of treatment should be considered to provide therapeutic efficacy.…”

Objective: to identify the action of low power laser therapy in wound healing. Method: this is a bibliographical study, of integrative review type, with search of articles published between 2004 and 2017, in the MEDLINE, LILACS and virtual library SciELO databases. After the articles were read, the data was extracted and analyzed, and presented in figure form. Results: 24 articles were selected, with different research designs. It has been found that low-power laser therapy promotes positive actions in oxygenation, cell growth and modulation due to irradiated light, which affects the metabolic processes and produces cellular and vascular biostimulants essential to the tissue repair process. Conclusion: it is concluded that low-power laser therapy is an adjuvant treatment that accelerates the tissue repair process and promotes patient comfort benefits.

Método: trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico, tipo revisão integrativa, com busca de artigos publicados entre 2004 a 2017, nas bases de dados MEDLINE, LILACS e biblioteca virtual SciELO. Efetuaram-se, após a leitura dos artigos, a extração e a análise dos dados, e apresentam-se em forma de figura. Resultados: selecionaram-se 24 artigos, com diferentes delineamentos de pesquisa. Verificou-se que a terapia a laser de baixa potência propicia ações positivas na oxigenação, crescimento e modulação celular devido à luz irradiada, que afeta os processos metabólicos e produz bioestimulantes celulares e vasculares essenciais ao processo de reparo tecidual. Conclusão: conclui-se que a terapia a laser de baixa potência é um tratamento adjuvante que acelera o processo de reparação tecidual e promove benefícios ao conforto dos pacientes.
