Does laser hair removal tigger herpes? I am considering laser hair removal but not sure laser it will trigger an outbreak. Has anyone with herpes done laser hair removal? How severe is the outbreak?
It can trigger a herpes outbreak. You should be on Valtrex, etc., before your treatment.
I recently had a an upper lip client recieve electrolysis on perfectly intact skin and two days later she broke out with a cold sore (herpes I)on the left side. Both these modalities use heat to destroy tissue and both can wake up the beast.
Thus, the importance of wearing gloves and wiping EVERYTHING with a disinfectant that will be touched during a treatment. Hair removal offices need to be impeccably clean for everyone’s protection.
Those dealing with Herpes should get at least a gram a day of amino acid L-Lysine, 500 mgs of red algea, 500 mg Larria, aka Creosote Bush, Topical applications of DMSO, and Tea Tree Oil.
While one is dealing with herpes, one needs to reduce sugar intake, Reduce Peanut intake, and, unfortunately, chocolate intake as well, as these increase the presence of Arganine, while lowering the body’s content of Lysine.
