Contact UsWhat Are Cold Sores?
Cold sores are blisters on the lips near the mouth. The blisters are usually swollen, inflamed, and red and can be uncomfortable. The lesions can appear independently or in little clusters, and when they break, a transparent fluid leaks out and the blister will scab over. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus, also called HSV, and may appear in or around the mouth. The condition is highly infectious and can be transmitted quite easily by touch. Our team can diagnose and treat cold sores with minimally invasive laser treatments. Schedule an appointment with our Las Vegas, NV office today if you need relief.
What Are the Benefits of Cold Sore Treatment?
Cold sore treatment using lasers has emerged as a groundbreaking approach to managing the condition, offering a blend of precision and efficiency that traditional remedies often lack. This modern technique harnesses the power of light to directly target and alleviate the symptoms of cold sores, providing a new lease on comfort and recovery. Utilizing laser treatment for cold sores at Elegant Smiles presents the following advantages for Las Vegas, NV patients seeking a fast and effective solution:
- Quick relief from symptoms

Who Is A Candidate for Cold Sore Treatment?
Candidates for cold sore treatment are individuals who experience frequent or painful outbreaks of cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus. Treatment is ideal for those looking to reduce healing time, alleviate discomfort, and prevent further spread. People who have recurring sores or are prone to outbreaks triggered by stress, illness, or sun exposure can benefit from treatment options that minimize symptoms and manage flare-ups more effectively.
What Can I Expect During A Cold Sore Treatment?
Cold sores typically go away on their own within a few days. However, if they are noticeable on the lip or close to the mouth, it can be painful and embarrassing. Our team at Elegant Smiles can help speed up the healing process through advanced laser treatment. The laser goes straight to the cause of the problem, targeting the virus. If caught before the blister stage, laser treatment can accelerate healing without harming surrounding tissue or coming in contact with your skin. This type of therapy is ideal for those who frequently suffer from cold sores. For immediate relief, contact our team at Elegant Smiles in Las Vegas, NV to maintain your oral health.
What Can I Expect After Cold Sore Treatment?
After your laser cold sore treatment, it is common to experience little to no downtime, allowing most individuals to return to normal activities right away. The treated area may feel slightly warm or sensitive for a short time, but discomfort is typically minimal. Many people notice that their cold sores heal more quickly and may be less severe than previous outbreaks, especially when treatment is performed at the earliest signs of symptoms. In addition to supporting faster healing, cold sore laser therapy may help reduce the likelihood of future outbreaks occurring in the same area. At Elegant Smiles in Las Vegas, NV, our team will provide personalized aftercare instructions to promote comfort and help you achieve the best possible results from your cold sore treatment.
Elegant Smiles Reviews
After searching Facebook groups I’m in for dentist recommendations, I decided to send my husband here after he cracked a tooth and was in the worst pain of his life.I searched “dentist” in the group, read through a ton of recommendations, and chose Elegant Smiles because the dentist’s wife had commented on several posts offering to help. I messaged her directly, and she got my husband in to see her husband that same day!My husband was in so much pain that they had to numb him multiple times before they could extract the tooth. He came home swollen all the way up to his eye because the infection had spread down to the roots. My husband absolutely HATES going to the dentist, but he didn’t have a single negative thing to say about his experience.The front office staff was also incredible. Since we don’t have physical insurance cards, they had to call and get all of our information, and they handled everything without giving us any hassle.I will admit, when you look at their website it can seem a little intimidating and very high-end. Their office is beautiful, and they absolutely offer high-end cosmetic services. But don’t let that scare you away if you’re simply looking for an emergency tooth extraction or general dental care. They offer a wide variety of services for all kinds of dental needs.Dr. Phan was absolutely amazing, and we’re so thankful we found this office. If you’re looking for a dentist, I highly recommend checking out Elegant Smiles!
