Herpotherm Neo Cold Sore Treatment Device � Long Lasting and Reusable Heat Pen (Herpotherm neo)
How to use HERPOthermHERPOtherm is very simple to use. First place the device
onto the affected area and gently press it on to the skin. After pressing the
button, the ceramic contact surface heats up to approx. 51�C for three
seconds, when HERPOtherm then switches off automatically. Leave a treatment
interval of at least 2 minutes between each application. Do not exceed a
maximum number of 5 applications per hour on the same skin area. Clinical
StudyHERPOtherm 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 localised 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%. Study: Wohlrab J, et al.,
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology 2013, 6:263-271).How does
HERPOtherm work?The herpes simplex virus type 1 survives dormant in the nerve
cells. If the skin or immune system is put under stress, the virus can
reactivate and cold sores can develop. Topical antiviral medication can
normally only shorten an outbreak by just half a day (Spruance et al.,
Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2002). Creams containing acyclovir also contain
other chemical substances, such as preservatives and emulsifiers, in addition
to the active substance acyclovir. They are also not very discreet when
applied to the lip.HERPOtherm works on the principle of local hyperthermia
(concentrated heat therapy) and is therefore completely free from chemicals. A
temperature of approximately 51�C is applied to a small, limited area of skin
for 3 seconds. Proteins required for the herpes simplex virus type 1 to
multiply are broken down by the heat. Experimental studies suggest that the
body's own enzymes required for wound healing are activated by the application
of heat.
