The wound is represented by interruption on continuity of a body tissue, to a greater or lesser extent, caused by any type of physical, chemical, mechanical or triggered by a medical condition, which triggers the fronts of organic defense to counterattack trauma. One type of treatment is phototherapy, because it is noninvasive, does not emit UV rays and causes no increase in temperature of the skin surface, thereby allowing a gradual, safe and painless results. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using non-coherent light phototherapy in wound healing. The practice based on evidence was adopted (PBE) as the methodological framework and integrative review as a method of literature review. The search for articles was conducted on principal databases and identified center and eleven publications, with a final sample of three articles. In this study, it was shown that the use ofnon-coherent light phototherapy for the healing of wounds had good results, but other studies using different etiologies and wound with a sample and larger number of participants is necessary so that it is possible to assert that this phototherapy has effectiveness in the healingof whatever etiology of the wound.
