Short description of the thesis

The PhD thesis "Blue and Red Photobiomudulation in Chronic Wound Care" explores the scientific evidence surrounding light-based therapies for the treatment of chronic wounds. Key findings from preclinical models using blue light will be presented alongside clinical evidence addressing the safety, efficacy of both blue and red photobiomodulation. Further the thesis will discuss furture obstacles for this treatment modality to advance within wound care.
