Virulite CSOriginal Light Therapy Device - Premium Cold Sore Treatment Device - Multi-Patented, Safe & Effective - Cold Sore Zapper with Fast Results, Invisible Light & Non-Invasive Use

I purchased this device almost 2 years ago because I would get cold sores on my outer lips which were very painful as well as embarrassing. I was somewhat skeptical that this device would actually work, but I was at the onset of an outbreak so I ordered this device. It arrived a few days later, but my outbreak had already started. So I used it to see if it would help reduce the duration. It did seem to stop the outbreak mid stream and I healed sooner. I then had 2 subsequent eruptions within the first 6 months of owning this device, so I applied this device at the first start of the tingling sensations and both times it stopped it completely cold before any eruption. I then decided to start using it preventatively and used it on all my lips 3 times a day for about 2 weeks and then I stopped. I have not had any eruptions at all (zero, nada) in the last 18 months. Normally I would have outbreaks at least once every three months. I would especially have outbreaks during cold seasons or after being exposed to someone with a cold. I have had no outbreaks. This device seems to have killed the virus that was in my lip tissue. I contracted HSV-1 when I was 18 from a Dentist office that had not sterilized the dental instruments thoroughly. Because I contracted HSV-1 at such a late age, my outbreaks were more severe than if you contracted it when a child. I am pleased to say that this device absolutely worked for me and I would highly recommend it. Result may vary with each person, but I would recommend that when using it treat all of your exposed lip tissue. It takes a little longer but it seemed to work for me. I would just use it when watching TV. The device would cover about 50% of my mouth so only about 10 to 15 minutes to use it. I hope others find this device to be effective and useful and obtain relief.Update 12/6/2020 - Started to have an outbreak for the first time since purchasing this device. It's flu season so, I must have come in contact with some type of virus which always triggers my HSV-1. The tingling was starting in several places on my lips, which means this was going to be a very serious outbreak. I grabbed my ViruLite device and tried to use it, but the battery was dead since I had not used in in about 1.5 years. In inserted a new battery and it was ready to go. I immediately applied it across all my lips surface. That was last night before bed. Woke up this morning 95% of spots that were tingling have stopped. One area is still slightly tingling just applied again across all of my lips. All tingling has stopped and no signs of active outbreak. It has stopped this outbreak in its tracks again. This things really works. I have not had any actual outbreaks now in almost 3 years except for this most recent early stage eruption. But again I repeat it stopped the outbreak within less than 12 hours. I have not had to use any supplemental medications in 3 years only this device. I will use the device for the next few days preventatively to kill the virus that must be active my lip tissue again. It works purchase and try it. If it doesn't work for your then return in under the Amazon return policy. If I ever need to repurchase this device I would absolutely 100% repurchase without hesitation.

Efficacy aside (which who really knows if this works), this is the third one I have bought (I'll do anything to fight the nightmare of a cold sore, and this is FDA approved). It stops working after 2-3 cold sore bouts in one year (has now happened three times). I bought it yet again (I don't learn) thinking it was bad luck, then here I am again today with a cold sore coming on, and the device not working. Changed the battery twice, as I did the prior ones. Not the issue. It is always the same problem: it "beeps" and the green light goes on, but then stops working (no flashing green light anymore and no beep to signal it is completed). This is the exact same problem/failure that has happened three times. Oh, and don't forget to make note that they DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO RETURN IT (even if right away after you buy it or unopened).

Ohmygah! I cannot begin to express to you how Virulite has given me my life back! I rarely get sores anymore in the 5 months I've had it. When I feel one come on, I use Virulite and it goes away within 1-2 days, without ever having become full blown sore, without the intense pain or itching. And the same spots that have plagued me for years rarely get sores anymore and I haven't had any new areas break out. In the fall, I asked my OBGYN, during my annual, if she knew anything besides oral pills to control the 6 areas I get outbreaks in and she said nope. The pills keep getting bigger every year and become less and less effective over time. She gave me another annual prescription, send me on my way and I thought....geez there has to be something better. So, I did research and, at first, I was skeptical bc "come on....lightwaves? really?" But, this product works beyond anything I have ever experienced with topical, oral pills or other therapies. This is borderline of A CURE. And, in case you haven't figured it out yet, I use it in other places besides the label of "mouth and face". It is beyond effective. I feel choked up thinking I no longer have to deal with the horrible pain, itching, discomfort, embarrassment and how it has given me a different mental state than "nope can't swim today; got an outbreak. nope, can't engage in intimacy; got an outbreak. nope, can't wear those panties; got an outbreak. uh oh, here come my period; horrible outbreak coming. ETC ETC ETC" I have a NORMAL life.....without drugs, without 95% of the outbreak episodes or extent of outbreaks, without topical creams, without spending a ton of money, while doing the 3 min light sessions in the privacy of my own home, on my own schedule, without having to go to a pharmacy, and I can do as many sessions on an area as I want without taking a toxic amount of pills bc 1 pill just isn't enough to control it. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. Buy one.....before big pharma giants get it banned or rendered inoperable bc they're missing out on profits. You will be glad you did!

I received a defective device . I even went to the store and bought and replaced the battery with a new one. NOTHING. I am pretty pissed off and disappointed . Time is of essence . Now I have to reorder it and wait two more days for it when I really need to use it . I will post my review once I receive the item in Monday.Update 8/29/17.I received a functional device. I am giving it four stars for now because I was already in the healing stage. I did see improvement in the area pretty fast . My skin redness was reduced a lot and yes I would recommend this product. I hope to be able to give it five stars if I will be able to use it from a to z stages of the sore and see how it does. I also hope I would not have to ever use it or ever get a bump- I know right but there is some vaccines in the works. They are in Phase two trials. It's called Theravax by Minerva Laboratories. Let me know what you guys thing.
