Post-operative LED Phototherapy

My presentation focuses on a three-stage care protocol for post-surgical wound healing that aligns with the distinct phases of healing: Inflammation, Proliferation, and Remodelling.The protocol utilises LED Phototherapy through the Dermalux Tri-Wave MD, a medically certified device that employs red, blue, and near-infrared light to enhance cellular activity and promote skin rejuvenation.The Inflammation stage lasts from one to six days, focusing on infection control and managing swelling, while the Proliferation stage, spanning from day six to 21, supports tissue regeneration.The Remodelling stage, extending from day 21 to 18 months, aims to reduce scarring and improve skin quality.A case study will be shared, a 44-yearold woman who underwent multiple surgeries, illustrating the protocol's effectiveness.Initially presenting with significant swelling and the risk of wound rupture, the patient underwent five sessions of blue and near-infrared light therapy, followed by red light therapy, Results showed rapid wound healing, reduced bruising, and improved mobility after just two sessions.The findings suggest that LED Phototherapy can significantly expedite recovery, minimize infection risks, and enhance aesthetic outcomes.The study advocates for the integration of LED Phototherapy into surgical practices to improve patient recovery, emphasising that it is a non-burdensome addition to standard post-operative care.
