Abstract
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT), formerly referred to as Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), in promoting enhanced wound and scar healing, and to optimize treatment parameters for various scar types. Sixty participants were assigned to three groups based on the type and duration of their scars. Group A (recent scars 1 year) received 12 to 15 sessions, and Group C (acne scars) received 8 to 10 sessions. All treatments used a continuous red diode laser at 660 nm with a power density of 15.6 mW/cm². For old and surgical scars, each treatment area was irradiated for 6 min, delivering a dose of 5.6 J/cm². For recent and acne scars, exposure time was 4 min with a dose of 3.7 J/cm². Sessions were conducted two to three times per week, depending on group allocation. Statistical analysis showed significant improvements in scar color, size, and patient satisfaction across all groups (p
