Our state-of-the-art technology and expert team of professionals are dedicated to providing you with the most effective and minimally invasive solutions.

What are Aphthous Ulcers?

Aphthous ulcers, also known as canker sores or mouth ulcers, are small, painful lesions that develop on the inside of your mouth, typically on the tongue, lips, cheeks, or gums. They're usually round or oval in shape and can range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Aphthous ulcers can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, hormonal changes, allergies, and nutritional deficiencies.

What are Cold Sores?

Cold sores, also known as fever blisters or herpes simplex, are small, fluid-filled blisters that develop on the lips, mouth, or nose. They're caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and can be triggered by stress, fatigue, sun exposure, or other factors.

How Can Laser Treatment Help?

Our laser treatment for aphthous ulcers and cold sores uses a specialized laser to target the affected area, promoting healing and reducing pain and discomfort. The laser energy stimulates collagen production, which helps to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair. This minimally invasive procedure is quick, easy, and virtually painless.

Benefits of Laser Treatment

There are several benefits to choosing laser treatment for aphthous ulcers and cold sores:

  • Pain relief: Our laser treatment can provide immediate pain relief, allowing you to resume your normal activities without discomfort.
  • Faster healing: The laser energy promotes collagen production, which helps to accelerate the healing process and reduce the risk of scarring.
  • Reduced inflammation: The laser reduces inflammation, which can help to alleviate swelling and redness associated with aphthous ulcers and cold sores.
  • Minimally invasive: Our procedure is quick and easy, with minimal discomfort or downtime.

How is the procedure performed?

The laser treatment procedure is simple and straightforward!

We'll begin by cleaning the affected area to ensure optimal results. The laser handpiece will be placed on the affected area, emitting a gentle beam of energy that targets the ulcer or cold sore. The laser’s energy will stimulate collagen production, promoting healing and reducing pain and discomfort. The procedure typically takes just a few minutes to complete.

What to Expect After Treatment

After treatment, you can expect:

  • Minimal downtime: You can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.
  • Pain relief: You should experience significant pain relief within hours of treatment.
  • Faster healing: Your aphthous ulcer or cold sore should begin to heal faster and more effectively.
