FAQs
When should I come in for cold sore treatment? The sooner the better. If you come in during the tingling or early blister stage, laser treatment is most effective. Call as soon as you feel one coming on.
Does the laser treatment hurt? Most patients feel only a mild warming sensation. No anesthesia is typically needed, and the treatment takes just a few minutes.
Will the cold sore come back? Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus, which stays in the body permanently. However, laser treatment can reduce the frequency and severity of future outbreaks in the treated area.
