The study from 2001 examined the effects of low energy laser (LEL) therapy on 159 patients with skin conditions such as lichen ruber planus, infectious finger pulpitis, scalp alopecia, and crural ulcers. Patients were divided into an LEL group (72 patients), a placebo group (30 patients), and a control group (57 patients) receiving traditional treatment. The LEL group experienced a 79% success rate, showing improvements in symptoms and hair follicle regeneration, while the placebo group saw no significant results except in pruritus disappearance in 4 cases. The control group had a 57.87% success rate. The study concluded that LEL therapy is an effective complementary treatment for these conditions, offering a significant reduction in recovery time with no side effects. Additionally, the document detailed the biostimulation effects of LEL therapy at infra-cellular, cellular, and systemic levels, suggesting mechanisms such as resonance between cellular frequencies and laser light, reversible alterations in protein bonds, enzyme activity influence, stimulation of protein synthesis, immune system, and anti-inflammatory responses.
