We know that cold sores go away on their own and can be soothed with over-the-counter creams and remedies; however, cold sore laser treatment may be able to reduce the length of the outbreak by a couple of days. While that might not seem significant, the less time you spend dealing with the unpleasant tingling and pain of a cold sore the better.
Another benefit to this treatment is that if you can feel symptoms of a cold sore brewing, getting laser treatment right away could actually prevent an outbreak. People who experience frequent cold sores often recognize that telltale tingling of a soon-to-be outbreak. When this happens, it’s time to give us a call so that we can schedule you for laser therapy right away. Of course, if the sore has already appeared, laser treatment can be one of the most effective ways to alleviate your symptoms and make the cold sore more manageable.
Most people hate spending hours in the doctor’s office for treatment and here at Bagoff Dental Arts we know that you lead busy lives and that time is precious. The great news is that cold sore laser treatment only takes a couple of minutes, it’s painless and it doesn’t even require anesthesia. Plus, you’ll notice immediate relief after the treatment is over.
After getting laser treatment to tackle your cold sores, you’ll begin to notice that breakouts will appear less often and symptoms will be less severe, which can be a great comfort for someone who deals with painful cold sores.
