Abstract

We present a protocol of care and therapeutic approach to skin lesions, called AIMED (Anti Inflammatory Regenerative Medicine), which is based on the circularity of its phases and applied therapeutic methodologies. We used photobiomodulation (PBM) for the examination non-responding skin lesions. PBM is an adjuvant treatment for the stimulation of regenerative cellular processes, reduction of inflammation and pain and biochemical modulation of molecular response. We used PBM for the examination of skin lesions, which were not responding to other therapies. LumiHealTM protocol treatment has been applied for 3 months on 8 patients affected by infected vascular ulcers of the lower limbs resistant to previous treatments. Three patients reached positive results immediately, and the remaining 5, at the first follow-up. The use of LumiHealTM in combination with other treatments, method allowed an effective and rapid improvement of the lesions via modulation of the immune response.
