Low‐energy laser radiation was found to have a stimulating effect on cells, and high‐energy radiation had an inhibiting effect, and the application of lasers to stimulate wound healing in cases of nonhealing ulcers is recommended.

Abstract

This paper briefly reviews the authors' experimental and clinical use of lasers over a 20‐year period, during which laser effects on 15 biological systems were studied. Low‐energy laser radiation was found to have a stimulating effect on cells, and high‐energy radiation had an inhibiting effect. The application of lasers to stimulate wound healing in cases of nonhealing ulcers is recommended.
