Thin-skinned bony areas (like knees, ankles and elbows) are more prone to abrasions than thicker, more padded areas.
Abrasions are superficial injuries of the skin and visceral linings in the body, resulting in a break in the continuity of tissue. These are the simplest of injuries in terms of healing, with most injuries being confined to the epidermis and resulting in minimal bleeding at most. The majority of abrasions heal without leaving any scar. However, the abrasions that extend into the dermis may result in scarring of the tissue upon healing.
Accelerating the healing process of abrasions and helping to minimise scarring can be achieved with the use of red and infrared light therapy.
How will light therapy help treat abrasions?
