Objective: to identify evidence of the clinical effectiveness of low-intensity laser in the process of tissue repair in pressure injuries. Método: systematic literature review carried out in the BIREME/OPAS Virtual Health Library, PubMed, and Embase databases, in Portuguese, English, and Spanish in July 2022, including publications from 2000 to 2019. Resultados: the 658nm laser at 4J/cm2 showed efficacy in healing pressure injuries, but the heterogeneity of the studies and the lack of standardization make comparative analyses difficult. Conclusões: studies show that the therapy is effective in healing pressure injuries, especially with the 658 nm wavelength. However, the heterogeneity of the studies and the lack of methodological standardization make comparative analyses and confirmation of the level of evidence difficult, requiring a relevant expansion of investigations, with a significant sample size, bringing more robustness and enabling comparative analyses of the data.
