While a cold sore can heal on its own within a few days to weeks, our experience shows that early diagnosis combined with laser treatment can significantly reduce recovery time. Over-the-counter creams and ointments may help, but our laser treatment often prevents cold sores from forming entirely and speeds up the healing process.
