Why wound healing is important ?
• Wound causes can be internal or external in origin
• Wounds of internal origin are mainly due to impaired
circulation, neuropathy or medical illness
• Wounds of external origin are due to an outside force or
trauma that causes open or closed wounds.
![Page 4: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why wound healing is important ?
• 382 million people have diabetes in 2013; by 2035 this will rise to 592
million
• Approximately 15 percent of diabetics will develop a foot ulcer at some
point. Foot ulcers are the most common wounds for this patient
population.
• According to statistics, diabetes is the number one reason for limb
amputation in the U.S.

Wound healing can be slowed when the patient is diabetic
• Blood Glucose Levels
• Poor Circulation
• Diabetic Neuropathy
• Immune System Deficiency
• Infection

Normal wound healing
There are four phases of normal wound healing
I. Vascular Response (Hemostasis)
II. Inflammatory Response (Inflammation)
III. The Proliferative Phase (Granulation, Epithelialization)
IV. Maturation Phase (Reconstruction phase)
![Page 7: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Vascular Response (Hemostasis)
• Vasoconstriction – within seconds, regardless of the source of
injury, blood vessels constrict to stop bleeding and reduce
exposure to bacteria
• Platelets cluster together at the site of injury to form a ‘clot’
• Wound healing begins within minutes after tissue damage
![Page 8: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Inflammatory Response (Inflammation)
• This is the body’s early defense system against microbial
invasion
• Neutrophils and Macrophages ingest injurious agents,
thereby protecting against bacterial invasion.
• Disorders that lead to reduced numbers of phagocytic cells
slow the inflammatory process and make the person more
prone to infection
![Page 9: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Proliferative Phase (Granulation, Epithelialization)
• Granulation occurs. Collagen, capillaries and cells begin to fill the wound space with new connective tissue.
• Epithelialization occurs as epithelial cells migrate from surrounding skin. This tissue is very fragile
![Page 10: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Maturation Phase (Reconstruction phase)
• Remodeling of the scar continues for approximately 1 year
• Scar tissue regains about two thirds of its original strength
• Scar tissue is never as strong as the original tissue it replaces
![Page 11: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Normal wound healing
![Page 12: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
History of the use of light in the wound healing
• light therapy is one of the oldest therapeutic methods used by humans
• historically as solar therapy by Egyptians, later as UV therapy for which Nils Finsen won the Nobel prize in 1904
• The use of lasers and LEDs as light sources was the next step in the technological development of light therapy, which is now applied to many thousands of people worldwide each day
![Page 13: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
History of the use of light in the wound healing
• LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated
Emission of Radiation.
• During the 1960s and 1970s, lasers were regarded as destructive .
• those lasers using photothermal and ablative properties are used
routinely to cut and destroy tissue. This is known as laser surgery.
• The therapeutic properties of relatively low intensity, athermic laser
irradiation were then recognised. This is referred to as laser therapy.
![Page 14: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
History of the use of light in the wound healing
• In 1967 Endre Mester in Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary wanted to test if laser radiation might cause cancer in mice.
• He shaved the dorsal hair, divided them into two groups and gave a laser treatment with a low powered ruby laser (694-nm) to one group.
• They did not get cancer
• The hair on the treated group grew back more quickly than the untreated group
![Page 15: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• The use of low levels of visible or near infrared light for
reducing pain, inflammation and edema, promoting healing
of wounds, deeper tissues and nerves has been known for
almost forty years since the invention of lasers.
![Page 16: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
LASER vs LED
• LASER light is:
coherent (all wavelengths are produced in phase)
monochromatic (of single colour or wavelength)
Collimated (produces a close parallel beam)
![Page 17: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
LASER vs LED
• LED light is:
• Noncoherent
• Polychromatic
• with broader line width
![Page 18: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Schematic representation of the main areas of application of LLLT
![Page 19: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Differences exist in the delivery of LLLT.
• Variables include laser type and wavelength, the use of a
single wavelength or a combination of wavelengths,
irradiance or dosage, beam divergence, spot size and
duration of treatment
![Page 20: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• The He-Ne laser was the first laser available and is reported to have beneficial effects in both wound healing and dentistry.
• The He-Ne laser has the advantage that it emits red light, which is visible and therefore the blink reflex protects the eye from it.
![Page 22: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• The GaAs and GaAlAs laser have been most commonly used for the treatment of pain and inflammation.
• These lasers have the disadvantage that their light is invisible and therefore eye protection is required.
![Page 23: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The optimum wavelength and incident dose
![Page 24: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• The study was performed using 532,633,810, and 980 nm diode
lasers
• Incident doses of 5, 10, 20, and 30 J/cm2 .
• The wound healing on control rats with diabetes was slower than on control rats without diabetes.
• LLLT at appropriate treatment parameters can enhance the wound healing on diabetic rats
![Page 25: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Result showed that the optimum wavelength and incident dose was 633 nm and l0 J/cm .
• irradiation of visible laser light was better than invisible laser light in the treatment of wound healing on diabetic rats.
![Page 27: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• The reason for the effective acceleration of wound healing on diabetic rats using low-power lasers was that perhaps the absorption of laser light with specific wavelength by target tissue resulted in the enhancement of fibroblast proliferation and the promotion of collagen metabolism and granulation tissue formation in the diabetic wound
![Page 28: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
![Page 29: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Laser and LED phototherapies on angiogenesis
• One very important phenomena involved on the formation of the granulation tissue is angiogenesis.
• It is essential for the supply of oxygen and nutrients for the healing wound allowing both cell proliferation and deposition of the collagen matrix
![Page 30: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• There are many studies on the use of laser light aiming to positively stimulating the healing process, being the stimuli to angiogenesis one of the most frequently reported.
• Previous studies have shown that, similar to laser light, the use of LEDs presents an important effect on both angiogenesis and vascularity.
![Page 31: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Laser and LED phototherapies on angiogenesis
• There is an increase on angiogenesis on green LED (p<0.001), red LED (p00.001), IR laser (p00.012) and red laser (p00.034) groups.
• No difference between the blue LED group and the control.
• The comparison among all illuminated groups showed a significant increase on angiogenesis on green LED and red LED in relation to the red laser group
![Page 33: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Laser and LED phototherapies on angiogenesis
• the most evident effect on endothelial cells seen when doses of 1.05 or 2.1 J/cm2 were used.
• the effects of both light sources are dependent on both wavelength and energy density rather than on the coherence.
![Page 34: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Laser and LED phototherapies on angiogenesis
• in this study λ530+20 nm LED light group showed the most increased angiogenesis.
• Result showed that not only red LEDs but also green LEDs can be a new powerful therapeutic strategy for wound healing
![Page 35: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Multiwavelength Light Therapy
![Page 36: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• To study the efficacy of multiwavelength light therapy in the treatment of pressure ulcers in subjects with spinal cord disorders.
• Thirty-five subjects with spinal cord injury, with 64 pressure ulcers (stage 2, n=55; stage 3, n=8; stage 4, n=1), were randomized into treatment and control groups.
![Page 37: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Treatment group received 14 sessions of multiwavelength light therapy, with 46 probes of different wavelengths from a gallium-aluminum-arsenide laser source, 3 times a week.
• Energy used was 4.5J/cm2.
• Ulcers in the control group received sham treatment.
![Page 38: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Characteristics of Multiwavelength Light Source
The central 820nm laser source was surrounded by 45 supraluminous diodes of different wavelengths.
![Page 39: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Results
• No significant difference in healing between the treatment and control groups.
• Multiwavelength light therapy from a gallium- aluminum-arsenide laser source did not influence overall healing pressure ulcers.
![Page 40: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
DNA damage after phototherapy
![Page 41: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• This study aimed to determine the effects of phototherapy induced DNA damage.
• human skin fibroblast cells.
• Irradiated twice once at 30 min and again at 72 h with 5 or 16 J/cm2.
• using a diode laser at 636 nm.
![Page 42: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Results
• At both 1 and 24 h, wounded cells irradiated with 5 J/cm2 showed insignificant DNA damage compared to control cells.
• irradiation with 16 J/cm2 showed significant damage.
• 24 h post-irradiation these cells showed a significant decrease in damage compared to cells left to incubate for 1 h.
![Page 43: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Mechanism of action of LLLT
• One theory regarding that the laser is capable of influencing photoreceptors in the cells.
• This mechanism is referred to as photobiology or biostimulation.
• It has been reported that photobiostimulation occurs via the electron transport chain enzymes in mitochondria,
![Page 44: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Mechanism of action of LLLT
• The biostimulating effect of LLLT results in an increase in microcirculation, higher production rates for ATP, RNA, and DNA synthesis, thus improving cellular oxygenation, nutrition, and regeneration and an enhanced mitochondrial electron transport system.
![Page 45: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
![Page 46: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
![Page 47: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
![Page 48: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
![Page 49: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Mechanism of action of LLLT
• The magnitude of the laser biostimulation effect depends on
the wavelength used
the physiological state of the cell at the moment of irradiation
![Page 50: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Biphasic dose response of LLLT
• LLLT delivered at low doses may produce a better result when compared to the same wavelength delivered at high doses.
• Weak stimuli slightly accelerate vital activity and stronger stimuli raise it further
• but when a peak is reached, then stronger stimuli suppress it, until a negative response is finally achieved.
![Page 51: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Idealized biphasic dose response curve
![Page 52: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Biphasic dose response
• The biphasic curve will be helpful to identify the sufficient energy level that will be applied to get maximum biostimulation.
• If insufficient energy is applied then there will be no response (because the minimum threshold has not been met).
• If more energy is applied, then a threshold is crossed and biostimulation disappears and is replaced by bioinhibition instead
![Page 53: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Conclusion
• Although the usefulness of phototherapy in wound healing is
still controversial, it has become a popular treatment
modality in many clinics.
• As this therapy has few contraindications and no reported
side effects, it could be considered as a potentially useful
treatment option if shown to be effective
![Page 54: light and wound healing](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/556df3cfd8b42a1e138b49b2/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Conclusion
• There appear to be many anecdotal claims that phototherapy stimulates wound healing but the question arises as to whether sufficient scientific evidence exists to justify its routine use in wound care.
