low intensity lasertherapia in adjuvant treatment in skin injuries: a bibliographic review

Abstract

The low power laser has been used in the treatment of wounds by accelerating the cicatricial process, by increasing the cellular metabolism. The interest in the use of laser in clinical applications and the potential of the non-thermal interactions of laser light with the tissue has been the reason of several studies. The potential of relatively low intensity laser irradiation applied directly to tissue to modulate certain biological processes, in particular photobiostimulating tissue regeneration processes, controlling the inflammatory process and alleviating pain. The objective of this work is to discuss the efficacy of the laser through a literary survey. The methods used to perform this work were databases of bireme; Scielo; Bvsalud; Pubmed; Health portal. Gov; Bdtd; Cochrane; With the key words: low-intensity laser therapy, inflammation, tissue regeneration, tissue repair, therapy, pain, low-power laser; Wound healing. According to the literature, LTBI has been shown to be effective in reducing pain of different etiologies, in tissue regeneration and in the control of inflammatory processes.
