Abstract

Venous ulcers form a major part of leg ulceration. The treatment of venous ulcers requires a multimodal approach. Adjuvant low level laser therapy may be useful in lesions with protracted healing course but evidence is still limited. In this study we share our experience regarding the use of low level laser therapy as adjuvant treatment modality in a patient with venous leg ulcer.
