(28 times 30 minutes irradiation with water-filtered infrared-A (wIRA) and visible light (VIS) within 52 days = approximately 7 ½ weeks) with normal view, thermographic image, and temperature profile across the ulcer before therapy (left) and after completion of the course of therapy (right). The arrow in the thermographic image – taken after completion of the course of therapy – points to the place where the wound has been. Diameter of the red circles: 16 mm. (from [4], adapted from [8], [10], [18]).
