Herpotherm Cold Sore Treatment Device - Reusable and Clinically Proven

Product Information

These are skin lesions around the mouth and nose. They start off as blisters and later become ulcers which crust over. The present local therapy approach indicates that Herpotherm ® can also be used for genital herpes and that it is well tolerated. In relation to other therapies using topical treatment for genital herpes, an extremely rapid reduction of pain on day 1 after the start of treatment as opposed to day 3–4 14 , 15 can be highlighted. Creams don’t always work for everyone but, if used early enough HERPOtherm really does work. There have been solid claims with effective results.

Because so many people experience cold sores, new, revolutionary treatments are being devised all the time. Creams, ointments, and gels can be messy and impractical for some people. That’s why Herpotherm Heat Treatment for Cold Sores is such a unique and innovative option. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) and human herpes virus (HHV) infections are very common among the general population. With a prevalence of up to 95%, HSV type 1 infection is more common than HSV type 2 infection. The latter is the principal pathogenic cause of genital herpes, which has a prevalence of approx. 3%–60%, depending on the patient cohort examined. 1 – 3 In industrial nations, however, genital herpes infection is increasingly triggered by HSV type 1 infection.The first signs of a cold sore can include a tingling or burning sensation on the lips or nose. Within 24 hours, you may start to see fluid-filled blisters form around the mouth. Blisters may weep until they scab over, dry and heal, which usually takes around a week. Herpotherm should only be used by one person. Don’t share devices. This can increase the chance of infection or the spreading of the herpes simplex virus. HERPOtherm has been extensively studied to prove that it works. In the studies the observation group showed a significantly faster improvement in all symptoms after the first day of application compared to treatment with acyclovir, an ingredient found in many cold sore treatments. The burden and duration of disease was lower and shorter using HERPOtherm in comparison to acyclovir. Proven to reduce symptoms by up to 50% and treatment time by two days sooner in comparison with Aciclovir. Many of the current cold sore treatments available treat the blister once it has already developed. HERPOtherm is a new treatment, which uses a concentration of heat on the affected area, killing the virus beneath the skin before the blister appears.

Herpotherm is suitable for children, for self-administration from 12 years of age – Dermatologically tested. Up to 100 uses before you need to replace the battery. Features of Herpotherm Cold Sore Treatment And Prevention Device: I love reading about the science behind things like this and HERPOtherm works by killing the virus underneath the skin before the cold sore blister appears. You simply put the HERPOtherm pen against the affected area of skin, press a button and the tip heats to 51°C for 3 seconds before automatically switching off. It couldn’t be easier. Once you have the virus, it stays in your skin for the rest of your life. Sometimes it causes a cold sore.HERPOtherm’s thermotherapy can stop the cold sore blister developing at all if you apply it early enough or, if you apply it later, once the blister has formed, it may reduce the severity of the symptoms, or they may fade sooner. ( Here’s a study about it.) The HERPOtherm electroniccoldsorepen is a medical device that is completely free of chemicals. It’s one less medicine or ointment to put on your skin and it works just by putting concentrated heat on the area of your lip when you feel that first tingle of tightness. Schlippe G, Voss W, Brenn LC. Application and tolerability of Herpotherm® in the treatment of genital herpes. Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology. 2013;6:163-166. doi:10.2147/CCID.S41145. The application of concentrated heat (local hyperthermia) is a physical mode of action based on a brief, concentrated application of heat to a small, limited area of the skin. Even a localised pulse of heat may be sufficient to relieve symptoms such as itching, burning, tingling or tightness. This means once the pen heats up to the right temperature, and is used on the spot where you start to feel a tingle, it uses that heat helping you to banish the nasty bits that cause the cold sore. It doesn’t contain any chemicals, so it can be used on children, allergy sufferers and pregnant women, and it means you don’t have to go anywhere with a patch or suspicious looking smear of cream on your mouth.
