Can fillers and laser treatments cause long-term recurring cold sores?
cnncnnAug 14, 2014
I never had a cold-sore until I started doing fillers and botox. They became chronic and I had to take daily anti-viral. One day it occurred to me that there might be a relationship - particularly when I do filler near my mouth and nasal folds. I am thinking about doing a Genesis laser treatment but I'm afraid it will aggravate this further. Should I avoid the laser?
