The Zeno Zit Zapper – Now in Mini Form!

Have you used the original Zeno?  I have lusted for it for a long time, but I guess I just didn’t have the number of zits to zap for me to plunk down $160 for it.  I have tried it in the store though, and it was a neat experience.  I have had this on my shopping list forever, and always planned on getting one, but I think I have been lucky in the zits:special events ratio, so haven’t done it yet.

So now, the Zeno Mini has landed, and is a smaller version of the Zeno (which I didn’t think was too big in the first place), which runs on 2 AAA batteries, and is plenty small and unobtrusive enough to throw in your travel bag.  The deciding factor for me with this one is that the price tag is much lowered – to $89.  I have plenty of zits that are worth 89 bucks to get rid of, don’t you?

The technology in this device is proven to work.  The basic idea is that there is heat produced in the tip of this unit, and when applied to a pimple (not a blackhead or whitehead, but a real pimple), the heat will kill the bacteria inside.  The tip gets warm, but not uncomfortably warm at all.  And you do have to replace the tip after 45 uses (new tip costs $18.99).

So have you tried one of the Zeno models?  How about any other brands of this type of device?  What do you think about it?
