In laser therapy, what is primarily healed faster by using a therapeutic laser?

Using a therapeutic laser primarily promotes faster healing of surface wounds due to its ability to stimulate cellular activity and improve tissue oxygenation. Laser therapy enhances the healing process by increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, and promoting cellular regeneration at the site of injury. This is particularly effective on surface wounds where exposure to light energy can directly impact the tissues involved.

Surface wounds benefit from the application of laser energy through mechanisms such as the stimulation of fibroblasts, which are crucial for wound healing, and by accelerating the production of collagen. The light energy can also promote angiogenesis, leading to enhanced blood flow, which is essential for delivering nutrients and oxygen necessary for healing.

In contrast, while chronic pain, organ failure, and internal injuries may benefit from laser therapy in various ways, they do not experience the same direct and immediate healing effects that surface wounds do when treated with a therapeutic laser. Therefore, the primary focus of laser therapy in terms of accelerated healing is on surface wounds.
