The effects of a low-intensity laser beam in the IR-range of the spectrum (wavelength 0.89-1.3 μm) on blood microculation in man were studied when the projection of large blood vessels (femoral, carotid, popliteal arteries) and acupuncture points were irradiated. A stimulating effect of laser irradiation on the microcirculation was demonstrated, characterized by the activation of capillary bloodflow, arteliole distension, and by the reduction of the level of intravascular erythrocyte aggregation, A highly effective therapy with low-intensity lasers has been noted for treating obliterating lesions of vessels in the lower extremities and for correcting venous impairments.
