Cold Sore Treatment in Colorado Springs
Laser cold sore treatment is a quick, noninvasive procedure that uses concentrated light energy to target the herpes simplex virus responsible for cold sores. When applied at the early onset of symptoms, the laser can stop the lesion from forming or dramatically shorten its duration. The treatment destroys the virus in the tissue, reducing pain, inflammation, and healing time. It’s ideal for patients seeking fast, drug-free relief from recurring cold sores.
