Histological Assessment of the Laboratory Rats Skin after Thermal Damages Treated with Nanosecond Microwave Pulses.

The effect of nanosecond repetitive pulsed microwaves (RPMs, 10 GHz, 100 ns pulse duration, 8 Hz pulse repetition rate, 140 W/cm2 peak power flux density (pPFD)) on the treatment of a model thermal burn of the skin of laboratory rats was investigated. It is established that after 4-fold local irradiation, the rate of wound healing increases; it is due to the accelerated formation of granulation tissue and a decrease in the thickness of the scab, which ensures scarless healing.
