Herpotherm®: With heat against herpes

Herpes is a disease that affects many people time and again. The reason is that it is triggered by viruses that settle in the nerve cells. If the immune system or the skin is under strain, outbreaks can therefore occur again and again. Antiviral medication can be used to contain the multiplication of the viruses and limit the disease phase. However, the episode is most effectively stopped if the affected areas are immediately treated with heat.

Help at the touch of a button

Burning, itching and swelling are usually the harbingers of a herpes outbreak. As soon as they are felt, the Herpotherm® device is used. First, the protective cap is removed and the ceramic surface is held on the affected area. If you then press the button, the surface heats up to 51°C for three seconds. As a rule, the relief of symptoms can be felt immediately. Otherwise, the treatment can be repeated after an interruption of at least ten seconds

Effect of Herpotherm®

Relieving symptoms is just one of the effects achieved with Herpotherm®. The brief heating also triggers a number of physiological processes that lead to the attenuation or even complete cessation of inflammation. It is therefore important that the device is used as soon as the first signs of herpes are noticeable. For this reason, Herpotherm® was developed in a handy format and can be conveniently taken along.

Advantages of Herpotherm®

Herpotherm® is a purely physical herpes therapy rather than a drug treatment. The device can therefore also be used effectively by children, pregnant women and people with allergies in the event of an outbreak. It is very easy to use and the effect is immediate, without damaging the skin in any way. Repeated applications are possible without any problems, provided the recommended waiting time is observed.
