Abstract The effect of argon laser irradiation on the microvessels of the subcutaneous areolar tissue of the rabbit ear, mounted in a transparent chamber by Clark's method, was studied. The capillaries and venules, in which dysfunctional changes were found in the microcirculation, were most sensitive to argon laser irradiation. Besides destruction of the vessel walls and perivascular inflammation, active reorganization of the microcirculatory system and a redistribution of the blood flow were observed under the influence of the laser beam.
