title: Biostimulation of wound healing by low-energy laser irradiation. A review.
abstract: This paper reviews studies on the basic principles of biostimulation of wound healing by various low-energy lasers. It looks at the mechanism of action of biostimulation as well as the laser's effect on cell proliferation, collagen synthesis, and would healing.
