Conclusion: Studies reviewed consistently demonstrated the ability of laser or monochromatic light to photobiomodulate wound healing processes in experimental wounds in rats and mice, and strongly support the case for further controlled research in humans.
OPEN FILEThe accelerated healing was corroborated by at least 50% higher hydroxyproline levels, and tripling cell proliferation rates in LLLT and CoQ10 treated wounds over controls. The beneficial effects on wound healing were probably attributed to additive enhancement of ATP production by LLLT and CoQ10 treatment. The combination of LLLT and topical CoQ10 is safe and convenient, and merits further clinical study.
OPEN FILEConclusion: In addition to accelerated wound healing, the main advantages of LLLT for postoperative sport- and traffic-related injuries include prevention of side effects of drugs, significantly accelerated functional recovery, earlier return to work, training and sport competition compared to the control group of patients, and cost benefit.
OPEN FILEConclusions The evidence supports the use of specific settings of PBM therapy for the prevention of OM in specific patient populations. Under these circumstances, PBM is recommended for the prevention of OM. The guidelines are subject to continuous update based on new published data.
OPEN FILEThis is the first report in which the possibility of a complete regression and healing of cetuximab-induced AR can be obtained using HLLT treatment. Since laser applications are completely safe, non-invasive, quick, and easy, without contraindications and limited side-effects, they can be routinely used in the treatment of this dermatitis.
OPEN FILELLLT 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.
OPEN FILEThe aim of this article is to provide an overview of the various known biological mechanisms in LLLT and highlight the discovery of a recent mechanism describing LLLT-mediated activation of a latent growth factor complex, latent transforming growth factor-?1 (LTGF-?1) in stimulating oral wound healing.
OPEN FILEPBM has shown benefits in the treatment of acne and the prevention / treatment of hypertrophic scars. It has shown promise in skin rejuvenation, the treatment of alopecia, cellulite, as well as other skin diseases. The discovery of new applications for PBM, already an effective form of treatment and prevention for many skin conditions, is continually expanding.
OPEN FILELow-level light therapy (LLLT) is a novel treatment option available for non-thermal and non-ablative skin rejuvenation, which has been shown to be effective for improving skin conditions such as wrinkles and skin laxity.
OPEN FILEInflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and acne can also benefit. The non-invasive nature and almost complete absence of side-effects encourages further testing in dermatology.
