Amazon.com Product Description
Zeno is a hand-held battery-operated device designed with a tip that heats to a pre-set temperature. The biocompatible tip is designed for direct contact with a blemish on the skin. Once in contact with a blemish, the tip will transfer heat into the follicle. An internal PID controller chip continually modulates the temperature to a fixed range even under different skin and circulation conditions by adjusting the flow of energy to match precisely the heat absorption of the individual user. Zeno's microprocessor adapts not only to your individual skin type but also to the heat absorption characteristics of the location of the pimple. Your Zeno adapts to you! An integral digital timer controls the treatment time. The level of heat does not cause skin damage.

Specifically, Zeno stimulates a heat-shock response in p. acnes, the bacteria causing at least 90% of all acne blemishes. Heat shock proteins, activated by bacterial cells under heat stress, cause the self-destruction of p. acnes within the lesion, reducing inflammation and allowing the skin to return to a healthy state.

What is Zeno?

Zeno is a handheld, portable electronic medical device that is clinically proven to make pimples disappear fast. In fact, for treating acne pimples, it's the most scientifically advanced and effective device available without a prescription.

What does it do?

Zeno applies a precisely controlled heat dose directly to the pimple through a metal pad. One treatment lasts 2 minutes. Two to three treatments spread over 24 hours clear up most pimples quickly. It's that simple.

How does it work?

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.

How many treatments does it take?

Two to three 2-minute treatments spread over 24 hours are sufficient for most pimples. Often, only one treatment is needed.

Who should use Zeno?

Zeno is for people with mild to moderate inflammatory acne. If in doubt, ask your doctor.

When should Zeno be used?

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.

How does Zeno compare with topical or oral treatments?

Zeno can clear up a pimple in just hours. Most other medications can take days or even weeks to work. What's more, other than slight, temporary skin redness, Zeno has none of the side effects described by most topical or oral medications.

Is Zeno safe and painless?

Patients included in our clinical trials experienced little reaction to the low-level heat. 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 professional.

Is Zeno all I need for acne?

Zeno does not replace good skin hygiene or a doctor's care. It is designed to treat mild to moderate inflammatory acne. Your doctor may recommend other therapies, depending on the severity of your acne. Follow your doctor's advice and use Zeno for the occasional pimple.

3 out of 5 stars Hot washcloth better   July 4, 2008
I bought this gadget about a year ago. I used it a few times and it works, but I've gone back to the old-fashioned washcloth dipped in hot tap water. Applying a damp, hot compress to deep pimples takes away the pain and will help them heal just like the Zeno. If you like gadgets, you'll probably like it. I decided it was more trouble and costly than I had hoped.


5 out of 5 stars Really works   June 20, 2008

Yes, it does seem like forever when you're using this product but it does work. Got it yesterday and was so excited to try it. It is hot so at first, you may be a bit worried if it's supposed to be THAT HOT. But I noticed a major difference in my skin overnight. I would suggest getting a replacement head at the time you get the Zeno itself as it does run out fast but if you only use it occasionally, it should last you a while.


4 out of 5 stars Not a miracle, but it helps   June 13, 2008
I've been using the Zeno for a couple weeks now. It does not completely eliminate a pimple, even if applied at the first sign of one coming up. What is has done for me is bring the blemish up more quickly, decrease the time I have to deal with the embarrassment, and it keeps the problem from spreading to other pores nearby. That has made it worth the money for me.

No it's not a miracle cure and pimples won't disappear overnight. And you still have to deal with getting the head out of the pore. It's not substitute it for cleansing religiously. And it says in the literature it isn't for cystic acne. But if you get frequent non-cystic outbreaks like I do, no matter how well you cleanse, it is worth the cost.



5 out of 5 stars Gets the job done   April 30, 2008
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I was a little skeptical initially. To tell you the truth, I was nervous about the heat damaging my skin because it is sensitive. Zeno's heat is much lower than 130 degrees (130 degrees is the temperature at which skin burns). I worked up the courage to give it a try. I had a bump develop after getting my eyebrows waxed. (I think the oil they use to soothe the waxed area contributes to a breakout). After applying Zeno that evening, the bump was completely gone by the next morning. Later, I saw Zeno available for purchase in my dermatologists office.

If you have picked at a bump, it takes Zeno a bit longer to work. However, most everyone with acne knows that picking at pimples prolongs the healing process.

Important key: Don't pick at pimples, and use Zeno as soon as possible.

Quick tip: If your Zeno battery loses its charge, plug it in an outlet. It may appear that the battery isn't charging, but it is. Soon, you will see a blue flashing light indicating a charge is taking place. I did not know this and (mistakenly) thought the entire battery needed replacement.



4 out of 5 stars Wonderful little device   April 13, 2008
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I'm perfectly aware that this device doesn't work for everyone. I am in my early twenties, and i have been getting moderate acne since i was 12 years old. I have tried literally every acne-prevention product and any kind of home remedy you can think of (at one point I even tried to use toothpaste to burn off the zits). But as the years went by, I just sort of accepted that acne was something I am destined to live with forever.

Well I saw the Zeno ad on the back of a magazine a few weeks ago, and bought one online. I've only had this device two days, and every zit I have is just about faded now. I already caught one trying to form, and prevented it. It's such a nice feeling to finally have a clear face after all the years of having those nasty little things on my face.

[...]

Either way I love it and I'm very happy with my results.
