Did you know that approximately 60-80% of the population carries the virus? So, it is definitely more common than you think!

WHAT IS A COLD SORE?

Cold sores are caused by the Herpes Simplex Type 1 virus and are highly contagious blisters that occur on the lips, cheeks, or chin for many different reasons such as stress and over-exposure to the sun. This virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. There is currently no cure, but the life of an outbreak is usually under 2 weeks. They can be spread when a person touches a cold sore or contacts the infected fluid by sharing eating utensils or razors, or through kissing or touching that person’s saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way.

Cold sores will usually start to heal on their own within a few days and then disappear within a couple of weeks. However, if they cause pain or make you feel self-conscious, they can be treated.

WE CAN HELP YOU!

Laser treatment is the most effective way to treat Cold Sores in their early stages. If you catch the lesion in time with laser treatment, you can prevent the cold sore from breaking out. As soon as you feel that tingling sensation that warns you of an on-coming sore, schedule an appointment for a laser treatment. If you already have a full-blown sore, the laser will take away the discomfort and help it to dry up and heal much faster.
