Abstract
The management of wound starts from acute stage and extends up to augmentation of scar tissue remodeling. The clinician seeks to optimize wound care to promote healing. Many authors of clinical studies have reported the benefits of LLLT on tissue healing. We report the use of Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) on skin graft donor site as a regenerative therapy for augmenting the wound healing.
