It’s amazing how the same technology used to help heal acne can also substantially enhance the healing process when it comes to recovering from a burn. Low level laser therapy, or cold laser therapy, has beneficial healing properties for burn victims, reducing burn scars and aiding the healing process recover to the original skin. Although it has yet to be granted 501K market clearance for wound healing, low level laser therapy has shown through research to increase the healing rate of burn victims, reducing scars and improving recovery times.

Research shows that those treated with lower level laser therapy heal at a much faster rate, almost twice as much for the typical victim when compared to those treated by placebos. Research indicates that those treated with this revolutionary therapy heal at a remarkable rate and are able to reduce burn scars more effectively.

How it Works

The use of low level lasers in the treatment of burn wounds has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation, particularly in second and third degree burns. The main function of low lever lasers in burn treatments in the stimulation of tissues. This stimulation helps prevent infection and promotes healing.

When skin is exposed to low level laser light, certain reactions are triggered within the cells of the tissue. These reactions can lead to reduced inflammation, increased lymphatic flow, circulation, and cell metabolism, and reduced pain.

All of these reactions as a result of cold laser therapy work in conjunction to rapidly speed up the healing process for burn wounds, especially when compared to conventional, non-LLLT burn treatments.

Improve Recovery

Burns can be some of the most traumatic injuries to recover from, often because of the scars that develop and the resulting social stigma. Low level laser therapy can substantially reduce these scars and can help return you to your previous appearance. Although scars may be lasting, they can substantially be healed and minimized with the enhancement of low level laser surgery.
