An article at Click2Houston.com about the benefits of the Zeno Acne Clearing Device caught my eye more this time I read about it than usual. I have seen it around, but never really bothered too much with it. Perhaps it is that my skin is acting up at the moment, or I just decided there *might* be something to this. This is the description from Amazon:
Zeno is a handheld, portable electronic medical device that is clinically proven to make pimples disappear fast. For treating acne pimples, its the most scientifically advanced and effective device available without a prescription. Zeno applies a precisely controlled heat dose directly to the pimple through a metal pad. One treatment lasts 2½ minutes. Two to three treatments spread over 24 hours clear up most pimples quickly. Pimples occur when excess skin oil and flaking skin plug the opening of a hair follicle and create the ideal environment for acne bacteria to grow. Precisely controlled heat applied for a specific period of time causes the bacteria to self-destruct. When the bacteria die, the pimple goes away. Zeno is for people with mild to moderate acne. If in doubt, ask your doctor. Use Zeno at the first sign of a pimple. It works best when used on a pimple in the early stages of development. Also, the sooner pimples are cleared up, the less chance they have to leave scars. Other than some temporary skin redness following a treatment cycle, no other adverse side effects were reported. But should you experience any discomfort when using Zeno, discontinue use and consult your skin care professionalYour doctor may recommend other therapies, depending on the severity of your acne. Follow your doctor´s advice and use Zeno for the occasional pimple. The Zeno cradle is designed for plugging into a 120Vac/60Hz electrical outlet.
Have you tried this? Do I need this??? Amazon has the Zeno Acne Clearing Device with Free Shipping. Now might be a great time to check it out!
I got my Zeno from Ebay. I like it, and only bought it after my face, too, began to explode. the tip does get a little hot, but if you put it on a spot when it’s just appearing it disappears amazingly fast. I highly recommend.
Hmmm…thanks for the testimonial Rebecca – I appreciate you taking the time! There’s one vote “for”…
Now what’s the chances of the same company coming up with a gadget to zap… fine lines?? I was going to say wrinkles but changed my mind!
An interview with a top-rated dermatologist in an issue of Elle a few months back deemed this useless, saying it has no effect whatsoever, and that simply leaving the pimple alone would yield similar results. I can’t give you a first-hand review of the product, but that’s what I read.
This product is not for someone with severe acne. I would recommend Zeno to anyone who has mild to moderate acne. It works great on those inopportune times that zits can and will pop up (day before a big presentation) Before I purchased my Zeno I went to their website…www.myzeno.com and it was a wealth of knowledge. I definitely knew what I was getting and my Zeno exceeded my expectations.
