Abstract

Temperature fields on the surface of skin and the parameters of the microcirculation of blood in the skin accompanying various procedures of low-intensity laser therapy have been investigated by means of an IRTIS-2000ME digital thermograph and a LAKK-M spectrophotometric diagnostic complex. It is shown that changes of the parameters of the microcirculation of the blood in the skin accompanying both surface laser procedures and intravenous laser irradiation of the blood, if they were observed, were always accompanied by changes of the temperature of the skin surface.
