Cold Sore & Herpes Laser Treatment

Fast. Gentle. Effective. At Preserve Your Teeth Dentistry, we provide modern laser treatment using the Nd:YAG 1064 nm wavelength to address cold sores (herpes labialis) quickly and without discomfort.

What Is Herpes Labialis?

Also known as cold sores, this condition is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1). It often manifests as painful blisters or ulcers around the lips and mouth. Common triggers include stress, sun exposure, fatigue, and illness.

Nd:YAG Laser Therapy – A Better Approach

Our Nd:YAG laser therapy is a clinically supported, non-invasive way to reduce pain and speed up healing. When used at the first signs (such as tingling or tightness), the laser can often stop the outbreak before it forms.

Benefits of Laser Cold Sore Treatment:

• Immediate pain relief
• Accelerated healing time
• Reduction in recurrence frequency
• No anesthesia or medication needed
• Safe for lips and surrounding skin

What to Expect

The procedure takes just 5–10 minutes. Most patients feel a mild warmth and leave the office with no restrictions. The earlier it's done, the better the outcome.

Pricing

Treatment starts at $250, with an additional exam/evaluation fee if needed. In many cases, treatment can be completed the same day as your consultation.
