Abstract

Lymphedema is a disease affecting lymph flow causing symptoms of pain, oedema, and increased chance of infection. There are different modalities of treatment of lymphedema and includes decongestive compression therapy and methods to cause debunking of the oedema. Recently we came across use of LLLT in lymphedema treatment as well as a hand-held low-level laser machine. We share our experience of the application of the hand-held laser device in the management of lymphedema. Keywords: Low Level Laser Device; Lymphedema.
