Abstract
Low-Level Laser Therapy has role in the wound bed preparation of ulcers. The biostimulatory properties of Low-Level Laser Therapy has been found to accelerate wound healing, tissue repair. It augments tissue repair and regeneration along with its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. This property of low-level laser can be effectively for burn wound therapy as adjuvant treatment. In this article we sharing ourexperience of wound bed preparation which was showing delay in granulation, as an adjuvant therapy in electric burn wound preparation.
