Red light‐emitting diode (LED) therapy accelerates wound healing post‐blepharoplasty and periocular laser ablative resurfacing

Abstract

In this small series of 10 patients, red LED phototherapy after blepharoplasty and laser ablative resurfacing cut the time to resolution of side effects and the healing time by one-half to one-third compared with contralateral unirradiated controls. Further studies are warranted with larger populations to confirm these findings.

To evaluate the safety and efficiency of low level laser therapy (LLLT) in treating decubitus ulcers: a review

“…As more evidence of the statistically proven benefits of LLLT in animal trials have surfaced, some researchers have begun to shift their view to whether this treatment may have any beneficial properties in human wound healing. There have been more recent studies as of late examining and challenging the significance of LLLT in human subjects [8][9][10] . The overall conclusion from this review is that, although there have been some positive results stemming from studies looking at LLLT in animal and even some in humans, there is limited research supporting the approach in human subjects.…”

Light-Based Systems to Promote Wound Healing

“…However, Trelles et al concluded that further studies were warranted with larger populations to confirm these findings [22]. Trelles et al, in a small series of ten patients, have used red LED phototherapy (20 minutes, 96 J/cm2, 633 nm), after blepharoplasty and laser ablative resurfacing.…”

Low-Intensity Laser Therapy and Led (Light Emitting Diode) Therapy in Mechanical Resistance of Rattus Norvegicus Chest Inscision With Implant of Steel Wire for Sternal Suture

“…The LED (light emitting diode) arises with the development of technological systems of light production and emission, being a hopeful alternative for tissue repair therapy (Meyer et al, 2010;Sousa et al, 2010;Trelles and Allones, 2006). Despite this fact, the number of researches about this technique comparing LILT to LED therapy is still insufficient.…”

“…LED therapy and LILT have been used to irradiate surgical incisions in order to accelerate the postoperative recovery (Trelles and Allones, 2006). However, some specific surgeries require equally specific care.…”
