Photobiomodulation Therapy Promotes Expansion of Epithelial Colony Forming Units

Conclusions: PBM therapy promotes expansion of eCFUs that represent progenitors and stem cell populations capable of contributing to tissue repair and regeneration. Further exploration of the precise mechanisms would allow optimization of PBM clinical protocols to harness the regenerative potential of stem cells for wound healing and other clinical regenerative applications.

Effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy on Pain and Scar Formation After Inguinal Herniation Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Single-Blind Study

Conclusion: Infra-red LLLT (830 nm) applied after inguinal-hernia surgery was effective in preventing the formation of keloids. In addition, LLLT resulted in better scar appearance and quality 6mo postsurgery.

Beneficial Effects of Applying Low-Level Laser Therapy to Surgical Wounds After Bariatric Surgery

Conclusions: LLLT applied with the described protocol led to a decrease by biochemical markers and wound temperature compared with the placebo, which indicated that LLLT was able to control the inflammatory process; in addition, seroma and pain were reduced and cicatrization was improved by this preventive procedure.

Antinociceptive Effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy in a Rat Model of Postoperative Pain- Possible Role of Endogenous Opioids

Our results suggest that LLLT at 3 or 8 J/cm2 primarily modulates the endogenous opioids system and is not directly mediated by serotonergic receptors. Reduction of IL-1b and TNF-a may play a role in the antinociceptive action of LLLT.
