If you have a history of cold sores, please contact your doctor and ask for a prescription for Valtrex. You can also text us your name, birthday, and preferred pharmacy’s phone number so our overseeing physician can call in a prescription for you.

If you have not had one you may take L-Lysine 2 weeks prior and 2 weeks after your appointment, this is a natural remedy to prevent cold sores, it is available in the vitamin aisle.

Even with precautions, it is still possible to develop a cold sore after your appointment. Keep lips hydrated 3 days before your appointment. The night before your appointment please gently scrub the lips with warm water and a washcloth or sugar scrub to remove dry skin. Please note many lip balm brands are not good for your lips and dehydrate them. Use a more natural lip balm with oils in it. Aquaphor is also acceptable.
