Overview
Laser Therapy for Wound Healing: What to Know
Normal wound healing follows several overlapping phases. Various approaches have been studied to support healing in specific settings, including low-level laser therapy.
About wound healing
Wound healing involves inflammation, tissue formation and remodelling. Factors such as diabetes, poor circulation and infection can slow the process.
Where laser therapy fits
Research has examined low-level laser therapy in the context of certain slow-healing wounds. Wound care should always be guided by qualified professionals.
Common warning signs
Warning signs of a poorly healing wound may include increasing redness, warmth, swelling, discharge, odour or fever. Symptoms can vary from person to person.
When to seek professional advice
Wounds that are deep, dirty, from animal or human bites, or not healing within the expected time should be assessed by a healthcare professional.
