Mester's most notable contribution to medicine was his research on the effects of low-level lasers on biological tissues. In the 1960s, while experimenting with lasers for the treatment of [[cancer]], Mester observed that low-power laser irradiation could stimulate [[cell growth]] and [[tissue repair]]. This led to the development of what is now known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT).

He noticed that the fur of the animals exposed to low-level laser light grew back more quickly than expected. This observation led him to hypothesize that laser light could have a stimulatory effect on biological tissues, promoting [[healing]] and [[regeneration]].
