[Wound healing after laser and red light irradiation].

Laser irradiation and red light irradiation, daily 2 respectively 4 J/cm2, do not bring any acceleration of wound healing in rats. No significant effect was evident in the cell pattern of wounds during various phases of healing through the irradiation. The tensile strength of cicatrices increased by laser irradiation, but not by red light irradiation (monochromatic lambda = 633 nm).
