Is light therapy effective for wound healing?

 

Studies suggest that red light therapy, or RLT is a natural way to accelerate the wound, surgery incision, and scars healing process. Light therapy is gaining increasing popularity owing to two reasons:

• Near-to-no pain or inflammation
• Faster healing results

Patients find them a better alternative to prescribed painkillers and drugs with all sorts of side effects and major health risks.

So yes, to answer your question: red light therapy is very effective for wound healing. For instance, the SunPowerLED mini canopy is a powerful and effective tool for covering large treatment areas. It has 310 LEDs running with a power of 63 optical watts, which allows patients to experience the power of the sun and its healing properties.

This blog breaks down the importance of light therapy in treating burns, wounds, scars, pain & inflammation management.

How does the light heal wounds and minimize scars?

Therapeutic natural light, with a concentrated wavelength, alleviates oxidative stress and triggers cellular energy production. This, in turn, aids patients in powering themselves and healing faster while cutting down pain and inflammation.

‘Inflammation controlling’ forms the crux of red light's therapeutic healing effects. Injuries and operations often result in swelling and inflammation that causes pain and delays the healing process. In red light therapy, it is found that the cells exposed to natural light produce new blood vessels and fibroblasts (that, in turn, produce collagen that accelerate wound healing) and give rise to new tissue formation that leads to faster healing with less pain!

What are the skin healing properties of red light therapy?

• Speedens skin healing: RLT elevates new blood vessels and promotes tissue building, resulting in a faster healing period for various injuries, wounds, and scars.
• 
  
• Lessens inflammation: RLT curtails acute inflammation from cuts, operational burns, and burns and speeds up faster healing from wounds.
• 
  
• Leave minimal-to-no scar: RLT is an effective treatment that works on a deeper level, eliminates the root cause, and leaves no scar behind!
• 
  
• Aids natural relief: RLT improves pain naturally without having to eat painkillers.
• 
  
• Effectiveness: Both second and third-degree burns have proven to heal faster with red light therapy.
