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 2½ 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 2½-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.

Summary: Nice Surprise worked for me!
Comment: I was very skeptical of this.I mean a device that is supposed to get rid of pimples? I have used this for almost a month on the occasional break out and it really does cut the healing time down to half.Where it usually takes a week for my pimples to vanish,it took 3 days with the zeno.

Basically you place the head on your blemish, the zeno heats up,supposedly customizes to each persons body temp.,You leave it there for several minutes and that's it! It does feel warm but by no means is painful.

The head does need to be cleaned and replaced occasionaly but for what it does the process and upkeep is minute.I highly reccomend the zeno and am very glad I found it!

Summary: Used Properly, Works like it claims
Comment: For reasons unknown, I recently experienced a "pimple crisis". Chalk it up to middle age hormones I guess. I was experiencing those deep pimples that REALLY hurt, and usually in the same spots. Enter Zeno. I had read about it in several magazines, but did it really work like it claimed? Well, for me it worked wonderfully. Continue your everyday skin washing still (that's pretty much common sense for most of us), but most importantly make sure you read the directions before using it. It says to use it on a pimple when it first forms, so if you wait more than a day or so, Zeno is not as effective. Once the pimple has blossomed or matured, the damage to your skin is already done...this means that if the pimple is already red and/or inflamed, then you probably "missed the boat" with Zeno so to speak. Whatever you do though, do not pick. My experience, as long as I followed the directions on new pimples, was very positive. I did try it once on an older pimple behind my ear and it did shorten its "stay", but it was nothing compared to the 12-24 hour turnaround I was getting on new pimples.



The very first medium sized pimple I used Zeno on only took one treatment and was no longer visibly noticeable the following day. My second pimple, a bigger deeper pimple that hurt to touch, took three treatments. But, the most amazing thing about the second pimple was that the swelling minimized almost right away for me and it also was no longer visibly noticeable the second day (this was really incredible to me, because a pimple this size would normally leave a small scar on my face, but that never thankfully happened). I will continue using Zeno because this is a HUGE plus for me (no scarring). If you get those type of pimples, you know what I'm talking about!



Anyways, Zeno is basically an uninterrupted 2 1/2 minute treatment that uses heat. It feels warm, but it does not hurt at all and it does not burn skin. I personally did not experience any "temporary redness" that it mentions in the manual, but I did read somewhere that Zeno is about 118 degrees Fahrenheit, so do expect that this can happen. In my earlier years, I used to use the "hot washcloth" technique like others. I really think it is neat that a company has finally harnessed this idea more efficiently and effectively than an unstable hot washcloth! However, I definitely would not recommend to use Zeno with any other acne products though, especially with ones (or even medicines) that can cause skin sensitivity. I also would not recommend Zeno if you have severe acne, the kind that is all over or blackheads (they actually say this in the manual).



Overall, my experiences have been very convincing that Zeno does indeed get the job done, thus living up to its claims. I will continue to use Zeno when I experience a "pimple crisis". It also says in the manual that the heat of this product kills the bacteria that is the cause of most pimples (called "p.acnes"). So, it is definitely worth giving it a try before you go to a doctor or put some chemical on your entire face for one small outbreak.

Summary: Very effective and soothing
Comment: When I have the occasional break out, I use the Zeno and my skin clears up right away. I used it on new pimples and the next day they were gone! The heat is actually very soothing. I am definitely sold. Make sure you take the time to read the manual to learn how to effectively use it. To get the right results, you have to use it properly. Compared to all the other acne products I've used this is the BEST!

Summary: It's a lifesaver!
Comment: I've had this product for about 2 months now and it works great! I get breakouts about 2-5 times a week and its helped me out a lot. I noticed that it works best when i can notice that there is a small red bump under the skin or if it hurts a little bit. the heat does provide some relief initially. use it once in the morning and once in the afternoon when i have a pimple. i noticed i changed the batteries out with about 25 uses which is about a month for me. i wanted to write a review because i wish someone told me about this product sooner!! thanks
