The article discusses current therapeutic approaches to recurrent herpes and presents two clinical cases of lesions managed with laser-based therapy. HSV-1 and HSV-2 are among the most common human pathogens, responsible for oral and genital infections. Standard treatment with acyclovir (ACV) inhibits viral replication and relieves symptoms, but does not eliminate latent infection and therefore does not prevent recurrences. Increasing antiviral resistance highlights the need for complementary treatment options. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), including antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and photobiomodulation (PBM), offer non-invasive approaches that may reduce inflammation, promote healing, and improve patient comfort. In the presented cases, recurrent herpes lesions were treated using a 635 nm diode laser, resulting in rapid symptom relief, accelerated healing, and no recurrence during follow-up.
