The instrument in lipstick form is small & compact & can be easily carried around for handy use any time. Everyone, regardless of gender or age, can use the Herpotherm. For reasons of hygiene, the Herpotherm should always be used by only one individual. With the Herpotherm, symptoms of the herpes infection are effectively combated. Infection with the Herpes-simplex virus cannot, however, be reversed. How does Herpotherm Work? The treatment of herpes with the Herpotherm takes place with the help of a concentrated heat in the range of 50-51°C which, when applied at the proper time, prevents the formation of the blisters & allows the further symptoms (prickly sensation, burns, itchiness, feeling of tightness, pain) to subside quickly. Through the heating of the cells infected with the herpes virus, a total or partial denaturing of the enzymes or proteins can be achieved. The reproduction of the virus is thereby prevented & the development of the lip-blister can be stopped. In dermatological testing the formation of lip-blisters was totally prevented in the test subjects by means of the correctly timed use of the Herpotherm. When used later, the Herpotherm causes a less serious cycle and/or an earlier subsidence of the symptoms. The Herpotherm is a medical device made in Germany with 100% end control of the reported application parameters. Undesired side effects or even pathological skin-changes in the area of the lips were ruled out in dermatological testing.
