A system for healing and/or disinfecting wounds and burns includes an emitter including one or more blue light sources configured to emit blue light at a therapeutic energy level at a wound or burn area of a human or animal subject and one or more ultraviolet-A (UVA) light sources configured to emit UVA light at a therapeutic energy level at the wound or burn area. A controller coupled to the emitter is configured to control the therapeutic energy level of the blue light and the UVA light and one or more parameters associated with the blue light and the UVA light to produce a photobiomodulation effect in order to induce a cytokine response in cells of the wound or burn area to elicit recruitment and proliferation of cells to promote healing of the wound or burn area.
