Herpes Simplex (Cold Sore) Treatment
Halts cold sore progression and eliminates pain if caught early.
Photothermal Nd:YAG laser energy is applied over the tingling or active herpes simplex lesion in a non-contact mode. The low-level thermal stimulation deactivates the viral particles at the local site, immediately alleviates itching and pain, and triggers a deep cellular immune response to dry out and heal the sore dramatically faster.
TREATMENT DURATION
15 Mins
DOWN TIME
Zero (Provides immediate pain relief and halts outbreak progression)
RECOMMENDED SERIES
1 session (Ideally scheduled as soon as you feel the initial "tingle" before the blister erupts).
WHAT TO EXPECT
A comfortable, soothing warmth on the lip area. The laser never physically touches the skin, making the session completely painless and comfortable.
PRE-TREATMENT
Schedule your session immediately at the first sign of a prodromal tingle, burning, or redness on the lip.
AFTER CARE
Keep the lips moisturized with clean, non-contaminated petroleum jelly or ointment. Do not pick any drying crust.
Use sun protection on the lips going forward to prevent future sun-induced flareups.
