Benefits of prompt cold sore treatment
Without treatment, most cold sores will go away on their own in under 2 weeks. During this time, however, they can be very uncomfortable, itchy, and painful.
Our laser cold sore treatments:
- Relieve pain and improve your appearance
- Work fast — just one quick treatment
- Speed up the healing process
- Reduce frequency and intensity of future cold sores
Schedule your treatment if you have a history of cold sores and are starting to feel an itching sensation near your lip, or if you see a cold sore starting to break out. We can help!
What causes cold sores?
Cold sores are caused by a virus called herpes simplex. Cold sores are very common but affect people in different ways. Some people get breakouts often while others almost never have them.
You might be more likely to see a cold sore appear following:
- Exposure to bright sun, cold temperatures, or high winds
- Cold, flu, or other illness
- Periods of stress in your life
- Hormonal changes in your body
You might be able to reduce the frequency of breakouts by identifying your cold sore “triggers” and avoiding them. However, if you feel the onset of a cold sore, usually an itching or tingling sensation in your face, seek treatment at our office right away.
How long does it take?
Our laser cold sore treatments are fast. Just a few minutes is all it takes for each treatment. It’s very comfortable and usually requires no anesthesia.
Is more than 1 treatment needed?
Cold sores can’t be cured forever. Some patients may need up to 3 treatments for the greatest relief of symptoms.
Do I need to get treatment before the cold sore appears?
Seeking treatment at the earliest signs of a cold sore is most effective. However, our laser can help you heal faster if a cold sore is already visible.
Will laser treatment stop my cold sore from hurting?
Yes! In addition to the cosmetic benefits, laser cold sore treatments stop itching and pain in the affected area.
