Laser assisted skin closure (LASC) by using a 815‐nm diode‐laser system accelerates and improves wound healing

Abstract

This study shows the ability of the 815-nm diode-laser system to assist wound closure leading to an acceleration and an improvement of wound healing with indiscernible resulting scar. The mechanisms of this phenomenon are still unclear but further investigations are in progress to attempt to explain them.
