Post-operative wounds can be slow to heal, with swelling, redness, and oozing often reported for some time after surgery. While following a strict wound cleaning regime and finishing any prescribed antibiotics is essential, often some extra help is needed to speed up the healing process.
Light therapy has shown several benefits when used for surgical wounds:
The wound area receives more oxygen and nutrients to help with the natural wound healing process.
Light therapy promotes lymph system activity – this helps with detoxification of the wound without overtaxing the lymph system and prevents lymphoedema.
Light rays clean up dead cells: boosted blood circulation helps with cleaning up dead or damaged cells, including dead bacteria.
It promotes collagen production – as proven in many studies, red light waves stimulates collagen and elastin production in the final wound healing phases.
It helps release ATP (raw cellular energy) which gives energy to the damaged cells in the wound so they can heal better and faster (study).
