Zeno is a hand-held battery operated device designed with a tip that heats to pre-set temperature. The bio-compatible tip is designed for direct contact with a blemish, the tip will transfer heat into the folicle. An internal PID controller chip continually modulates the temperature to a fixed range even under different skin conditions by adjusting the flow of energy to match precisely the heat absorptionof 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. It is best suited to treat newly emerging blemishes - the ones where you can just feel a new bump forming under the skin. Zeno delivers a precisely controlled dose of heat to the area
for 2-1/2 minutes.

It is recommended that blemishes be treated 2-4 times, at least one hour apart, over the first 4-12 hours of a blemish' appearance. It works by destroying bacteria and shortening the pimple's life cycle significantly. Zeno does not replace normal skin care programs and is completely compatible with other acne treatment programs, both prescription and over-the-counter. 90% of patients involved in an FDA reviewed clinical trial found that pimples caught early and treated with Zeno faded within just 24 hours.
