Low-intensity Laser Therapy Is an Effective Treatment for Recurrent Herpes Simplex Infection. Results From a Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Study
In conclusion, we demonstrated that a total of 10 irradiations with low-intensity laser therapy significantly lowers the incidence of local recurrence of herpes simplex infection. Since this athermic phototherapeutic modality represents a safe, noninvasive treatment, it might be considered as an alternative to established therapeutic regimens in this indication.

OPEN FILEInhibition of HSV-1 Replication by Laser Diode-Irradiation: Possible Mechanism of Action
Our results lead us to hypothesize that LD-irradiation acts in the final stage of HSV-1 replication by limiting viral spread from cell to cell and that laser therapy acts also on the host immune response unblocking the suppression of proinflammatory mediators induced by accumulation of progeny virus in infected epithelial cells.
