Hi @caroleliz! I recommend taking Valtrex the day before your treatment to reduce the possibility of a cold sore around the oral area. Best of luck to you!
It is recommended to begin taking Valtrex 3 days prior to microneedling to reduce the possibility of a cold sore flare up around the mouth, and it is important to continue taking Valtrex as directed by your provider post procedure.This response is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment provided by a qualified healthcare provider.
If you are prone to cold sores, taking Valtrex 1-2 days or an anti-viral may help prevent cold sores around the lips.
