Effect of low-intensity infrared laser on the healing of dermatome wounds

Changes in the microvessels, consisting in their dilatation and accelerated formation, and a shift of the peak of epitheliocyte proliferative activity are found to be the structural basis of the stimulating effect of infrared magnetic laser. Morphologic changes in connective-tissue cells determine both the proper development of the connective-tissue carcass, primarily of the fibroblasts, and the barrier protective and regulatory function of such cells as macrophages, neutrophils, plasma cells, eosinophils, and, last but not least, mast cells. Morphologic changes occurring during irradiation according to optimal schemes indicate activation of specific cell functions and are observed at earlier times.
