Role of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) in Prevention of Hypertrophic Scarring
Journal Title: Medical Journal of Clinical Trials & Case Studies - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Low level lasers (LLL) are lasers with a wave-length 600 and 1000 nanometers and power ranging from 5 to 500 Mw. The bio-stimulatory properties of LLL have been found to accelerate wound healing, tissue repair and regeneration. Low level Laser (LLL) has been tested to treat established hypertrophic scarring but it has not been studied in the prevention. The fact that preventing hypertrophic scarring is far easy than treating, hence keeping this fact in mind this study tested the role of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) in prevention of development of hypertrophic scarring.
