Perth, Australia (PressExposure) March 11, 2010 -- The launch of the thermal-based cold sore treatment product known as Herpotherm has garnered more attention than anticipated. This simple device treats cold sores by a direct application of heat on the affected area. The medical folk are unanimously lauding this effort in treating these annoying sores, calling it the most effective natural cold sore treatment so far. People who have used the product have commented favorably on the Internet and in medical magazines, thus boosting the product's credibility.
The aspect about Herpotherm that's the most favorably commented upon is its ease of use. This product is small and innocuous and can be easily carried in one's pocket. Using it simply entails holding a particular part of the product directly on the cold sore and turning it on. This applies a flash of heat of around 50 to 51 degrees Celsius on the cold sores for about 4 seconds. When this time has elapsed, the product transmits an audible beep and an LED indicator goes off. The makers of the product say that using just one treatment is enough for the treatment of the sore.
Herpotherm is being praised as a medical innovation. Like other products available for cold sore treatment so far, it doesn't contain chemicals that might harm the skin. The makers have also refrained from using metals such as chrome and nickel which can cause allergies. It is also a complete device in itself; it doesn't need to be supplemented with any other form of treatment. The recommended treatment is just once per cold sore, but if the sore persists, it can be used twice or thrice in the day. The product can also be used in a preventive manner when the sore is just about to erupt.
A spokesperson for the company manufacturing Herpotherm says, "This product has a definite edge over other treatment modes for Herpotherm mainly because it is completely natural and requires the least amount of time for the most effective treatment. Our product has actually been around for a while; people just didn't know that it was known earlier as Sore Away. This is just a revamped and better version of the same product."
The SunProtec Webstore is one of the leading stockers of Herpotherm. The website http://www.sunprotec.com.au also has detailed information about the product, including the manner in which it is to be used.
