Cold Sore Devices vs Creams & Other Treatments

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, is an electronic cold sore pen that works solely by concentrated heat and is thus completely free from chemicals. Suitable for allergy suffers and pregnant women. If you’ve experienced cold sores before, you know your own warning signs better than anyone. The minute you start to feel those symptoms, start using the applicator.

Even if you already have a blister, you can still use the device during any point of the cold sore’s lifespan. Like light devices, heat devices can be reused.

They cost little more than some higher-end cold sore creams, which is exceptional considering how long you can use them for.Please leave a treatment interval of at least 2 mins between each application, and do not exceed a max number of 5 applications per hour on the same area of skin.

Herpotherm has been tested under using a cohort of 103 patients against topical acyclovir, the ingredient commonly used in cold sore treatment creams. The results showed that localized heat transfer from Herpotherm was more effective in reducing the symptoms of cold sores than acyclovir cream and accelerated the healing time of symptoms by 50%.

When I first received press info on the HERPOtherm, an electronic cold sore treatment device, I smugly declared that I wouldn’t be able to personally review it since I had never needed to treat a cold sore as I had never had one. A few days later, courtesy of my gorgeous, germ-spreading son, I developed my very first corner of mouth cold sore and I’m quite surprised by how unpleasant it is! It’s incredibly uncomfortable, difficult to manage and very sore, so the HERPOtherm Cold Sore Treatment came at the right time. I would be nervous about using a chemical product so close to my mouth as I don’t know how you would avoid swallowing it, so a device that treats cold sores without involving chemicals is perfect for me. Avoid passing on cold sores to others by avoiding kissing or sharing objects which touch the mouth.
