Objective: To analyze the healing activity AlGaInP laser in induced skin wounds in rats wistar. Materials and Methods: This is an experimental study, pre-clinical trial conducted in the room at the Center for Research and Toxic-pharmacological approaches. Were used for the experiment 54 Wistar rats divided into 3 groups of 18 animals and divided into 3 groups of 6 animals. The animals were weighed, tricotomiados anesthetized and then subjected to a surgical incision in the dorsal-neck of all animals using a punch of 1 cm (diameter). After 24 hours of surgery, we used the laser diode Aluminum Indium Gallium Phosphorus - AlGaInP (IBRAMED - Laserpulse) with a continuous power of 30 mW and wavelength (&#654;) of 660 nm for the treatment groups L3 and L6 (3 and 6J/cm2 + saline (0.9%) respectively and for the control group (CG) received only saline (0.9%). The animals (n = 6) for each group were euthanized at 5, 10 and 15th days after injury. The samples were embedded in paraffin, stained with hematoxylin-eosin and picrossírius. We observed the daily appearance of the wound during the healing process and noted in individual spreadsheet, by the same examiner. Data from histological evaluation were converted in quantitative variables by assigning scores: absent (0), mild (1-25%), moderate (25-50%) and severe (above 50%). For morphometric analysis, we used the program Image J. The count of the number of blood vessels was used for point counting planimetry. For analysis of collagen was used picrossírius staining and polarized light to scan images. The data were treated statistically by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-Tukey test. For the non - parametric variables we used the Kruskal - Wallis test. The significance level was set at (p<0.05). Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the contraction of the wound edge in L3 group compared to GC and L6 on the 10th day of the injury, indicating that the laser energy density 3J/cm2 acted positively in the healing process. During the histological assessment, we observed reduction of bleeding (p=0.007) L3 group compared to control and to the number of polymorphonuclear (p=0.045) treated groups L3 and L6 compared to control. Also on the 10th day there was also an increase in collagen content (p=0.003) L3 and L6 in the groups compared to control. On the 15th day was observed a significant increase in collagen content (p=0.034) of the L6 in the control group. Conclusion: The wound healing activity AlGaInP laser was evidenced by increased angiogenesis, decreasing inflammation and stimulation of fibroplasia. Thus it is assumed that the laser used in the study contributed positively tested in both phases (inflammatory and proliferative) to accelerate the healing process and also that the energy densities of three proposals 6J/cm2 and responded to the type of treatment proposed in this study.
