Answer
Hi Carolyn,

The cold laser actually can help with wound healing and has been used for that reason. There are red and blue lasers that are great for skin conditions. Some dermatologists have blue lasers and use it for skin issues. Red lasers are, in my opinion, much better for wound healing and can stimulate the pain receptors in the area as well giving you some relief. Lasers are used for tenosynovitis and arthritis as well so it's a win win. You will just have to search for someone in your area that uses cold laser or low level laser for this reason. Some doctors only do it for pain and arthritis while others use it for many other things. Hope this helps.
