Laser therapy

It is a device that emits a light source, with specific wavelengths for each situation, which makes it capable of acting in a beneficial way in many cases in medicine.

The laser can be used after surgical procedures, improving inflammatory and scarring conditions. It can also be used in some lesions that affect the oral cavity, such as cold sores or oral candidiasis, where an early action can promote the interruption of lesions and also promote greater comfort to the patient. Patients with jaw joint pain may also benefit from laser application.

The goal of the laser is, in most cases, to reduce some more painful episodes and the inflammatory effects. Although it may cause slight local heating, it does not cause any discomfort.

As it is a very safe procedure, there are very few contraindications to its use, more related to the situation itself than to the patient.

Lip herpes is a viral condition that will accompany the patient throughout his life, however whenever the patient realizes when the lesion starts, if applied early, it will inhibit the formation of the lesion on the lip. A consultation with the Oral Pathology professional can better clarify the most appropriate moments.
