Abstract Biophotons are a type of ultra-weak luminescence emitted from living organisms due to biological reactions and are effective as a non-contact and non-invasive diagnostic tool for diseases caused by oxidative stress. We measured biophotons emitted from a wound irradiated with atmospheric pressure plasma containing reactive species that produce an effect similar to oxidative stress. We evaluated the effectiveness of this non-contact and non-invasive diagnostic approach for measuring time-dependent changes in inflammation and tissue regeneration based on photons emitted during these processes.
