New 'cold sore prevention system’ in Canada called “Intercept CS”

It is a medical device approved for the PREVENTION of cold sores. Manufacturer says that this product works by sending a ‘heat shock' to the area where the cold sore is expected to develop. It seems Intercept CS produces ‘heat shock proteins' in the skin which might kill virally-infected cells. It is a medical device approved for the PREVENTION of cold sores.

It seems Intercept CS produces ‘heat shock proteins' in the skin which might kill virally-infected cells. It seems it is only theory and no proof yet...It just came into Canadian market, not yet available in all the stores.  It is not supposed to be used on a cold sore that is already blistered, if used, it may cause some burn injury.  Looks like an expensive device, along with 2 disposable ‘Treatment Activators' it costs about $100.....hope this DOES work......
