Fluorescent light energy modulates healing in skin grafted mouse model

Skin grafting is often the only treatment for skin trauma when large areas of tissue are affected. This surgical intervention damages the deeper dermal layers of the skin with implications for wound healing and a risk of scar development. Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy modulates biological process...

description Skin grafting is often the only treatment for skin trauma when large areas of tissue are affected.
