The biomedical effects of laser application

Abstract

Abstract This paper briefly reviews the authors' experimental and clinical use of lasers over a 20‐year period, during which laser effects on 15 biological systems were studied. Low‐energy laser radiation was found to have a stimulating effect on cells, and high‐energy radiation had an inhibiting effect. The application of lasers to stimulate wound healing in cases of nonhealing ulcers is recommended.
