LASER TREATMENT FOR COLD SORES AND CANKER SORES/APHTHOUS ULCERS
No one likes to have a cold sore on their lip or a canker sore inside their mouth. Gentle laser energy is used in our office to quickly heal these painful and sometimes debilitating mouth ulcers and cold sores. Not only is the pain reduced immediately but the healing time is much quicker.
LASER TREATMENT FOR COLD SORES
Cold sores can be uncomfortable, non-aesthetic and inconvenient. They generally break out in response to trauma, sun exposure, or whenever physical and psychological levels spike.
Once you experience the tell-tale tingling sensation, it is only a matter of time before a full-blown sore appears. Healing can then take as long as two weeks; therefore, it is critical to begin laser treatment before the sore has a chance to develop.
We can successfully treat cold sores with lasers today. Lasers help reduce the duration and size of the lip infection. For the best results, treatment must be initiated as soon as the lip vesicles arise, and the lip feels itchy. Once the infection has reached the crusty stage it is too late for treatment.
Catch it in time with laser treatment and the cold sore may not break out!
