To explore the inhibitory effect of He-Ne laser irradiation on fibroblast growth of hypertrophic scars in culture. Methods: He-Ne laser with wavelength of 632.8 nm,power density of 50 mW/cm2 and doses of 3 J/cm2,30 J/cm2, 90 J/cm2 and 180 J/cm2 was used to irradiate human scar fibroblasts in culture 1, 3 and 5 times respectively, and then the cell count and cell cycle analysis were done. Results: Repeated irradiation with He-Ne laser at dose of 180 J/cm2 three and five times led to an evident decrease in total cell number compared with that of the control group and there was a significant difference ( P ＜0.05). The cell cycle analysis showed after three and five times of irradiation with 180 J/cm2 He-Ne laser the cell number in S-phase decreased from 51% to 20% and 14% respectively, the cell number in G0/G1 phase increased from 28% to 55% and 60% respectively, and the cell percentage in Sub-G1 phase was 6.7% and 9.8% respectively. Conclusions: Repeated irradiation with 180 J/cm2 He-Ne laser can inhibit scar fibroblasts growth in culture.It may be that He-Ne laser irradiation causes cell stagnation in G0/G1 phase and apoptosis.
