Quick relief
If it’s a canker sore or a cold sore, we like to catch it, if we can, within the first three days, maybe the first four days of when it, the earlier the better when they have that. Another great use that we have of our erbium laser, it is awesome with that. In the past, traditionally, if you had a canker sore or a cold sore, there are some over-the-counter medications that will make it feel better, but it was a 14-day period, sometimes longer than 14 days. The lesion would go for a little bit and then another breakout and it would last 14 plus days, sometimes 21, sometimes close to a month by the time it continued to break out. We’re able to have the patient in, in a very short period of time, and I mean a minute or two. We’re able to put a little topical on there so it’s comfortable to go over with the laser. It kills the virus and it will never come back in that particular spot again. I’ve had some patients that get them frequently, have a little flare-up. We’re able to go and treat that area and really within a day or two, it’s totally gone. People that have had the treatment are so happy that they tell other people, but many people don’t know about it. It’s a great service, and if you have that and you’ve been putting up with the 14-day period and it’s been affecting your life, certainly give us a call and we can help.
