Red Light Therapy on Scar Tissue Recovery Post Lipo-Abdominoplasty

A Case Report:


“Results: It was observed improvement of the dehiscence progressively, with reduction of the local inflammation, reorganization of the tissue and closure of the wound, presenting in the end only the surgical scar.


Conclusion: This study demonstrated positive effect of laser [red light] therapy, recovering the injured tissue, signaling a new non-invasive approach to a safe and beneficial treatment.”

Results: Clinical evaluation showed that the healing process of these postoperatively treated wounds has occurred and that the functional recovery of the patients (i.e., return to their ordinary life) was faster than without treatment.

NOTE:  This study specifically looked at face lift patients.


This study demonstrates that LED-RL phototherapy can be safely used in the early postoperative period on facial skin and may reduce post-surgical scarring, as shown by improved scar cosmesis of the treated sites. Future studies may extend beyond scar prevention and investigate the use of LED-RL to treat existing scars.
