For many of us, cold sores are an unsightly and painful part of life.

How Laser Cold Sore Treatment Works
Using concentrated wavelengths of precision laser light, Infinite Dental Wellness’s Epic™ Diode Laser disinfects the cold sore lesion, reduces surrounding inflammation (redness), and relieves the pain and pressure associated with a fever blister outbreak. Most importantly, the Epic™ Laser creates a “bandage,” so to speak, which keeps the cold sore from becoming infected and reduces healing time to days instead of weeks.
Painless and effective in just minutes, laser light technology may also be used to treat aphthous ulcers (also known as canker sores) as well.
