Zeno Acne Device Clinical Reviews

August 21, 2007


Zeno is a battery powered treatment for individual pimples. The device works as heat therapy to reduce or remove pimples that have become inflamed by mild or moderate acne. Zeno is not intended to combat your widespread acne. What you do is place the medical device directly on the pimple for two and a half minutes. The best time to attack that pimple with your Zeno device is when it first appears. You should never use Zeno on cystic acne, however.

Description of the Zeno Device

A new user described the Zeno machine. Rectangular, it is three inches wide and give inches long. It was described as a cross between a Zippo lighter and a slim cellular phone. It comes with the first treatment cartridge already where it belongs, which is handy. The cartridge has a raised circle on its top, which is what you place right on your pimple.

Before you use Zeno for the first time you have to give it at least six hours to fully charge.

How it Works

The way your Zeno device works is to use its internal computer to determine how much energy it needs to deliver to the pimple to kill the bacteria. This should happen after no more than three treatments. Zeno is not going to make your skin overly dry like some topical creams, although the treated area may be read for a short time.

Reviewers have suggested that Zeno is a loud machine and that its light is too bright and can shine uncomfortably in their eyes. Another complaint was that you can only use it three times before you have to stop and wait three more minutes before zapping that fourth pimple. One reviewer said she thought that her pimples were less sore and reduced but she really wasn’t sure, and she balked at the price of the Zeno and primarily at the cost of the replacement cartridge tips.

How Much it Costs (and How to Save)

Zeno will cost you $150 or more for the initial machine. As reported by a reviewer, the addition cartridge tips come in doses of 30, 60 or 90 treatments. As an example, a 60 dose cartridge is $25-$30. What this amounts to, the reviewer calculated, is a cost of $1.50 for a three treatment removal of one pimple. She figured that if she had three pimples every day and they each took three treatments to dissipate she’d be spending five dollars a day to maybe avert or eliminate her pimples. She said it wasn’t worth it.

Teens

Teen Acne

Acne is one of the great misfortunes of teenagers. It is a common, chronic skin disorder that is caused by the inflammation of oil-producing sebaceous glands. Acne usually occurs on the face, neck, back and chest and usually begins between the ages of ten and thirteen and then continues for five to ten years.

Teenagers, both men and women, obtain acne in equal numbers and there are numerous causes. It is worth noting that younger males are generally more prone to acute and long-term acne, while many younger women suffer from hormonal acne, due to the hormonal changes that are associated to their menstrual cycle. To some degree, acne causes personal anguish for most teenagers. It can definitely lower the person’s self esteem. So, if you (or a loved one) are currently feeling depressed and embarrassed because of unsightly acne, don’t despair. Several acne treatments for teenagers are out there.

Acne treatments for teens generally vary according to the method of application and their purpose. Most of these acne treatments have promised to help prevent acne formation, but some of them failed to fulfill such promise. Below are a few of the acne treatments typically used for teenage acne.

Over-the-Counter Products

A number of non-prescription acne treatments are now available in most local drug stores. The typical treatments of this form include various acne cleansers, astringents, moisturizers, as well as pimple creams. Some of them help to unplug the whiteheads and blackheads, while the others help skin shedding. It terms of the application of these acne treatments for teenagers, some experts typically suggest giving such over-the-counter products around six to eight weeks to work before expecting huge results. However, if there is no improvement in the condition during that time, there are some other options for treating teenage acne that should be considered.

Oral and Topical Antibiotics

Most of the oral and topical antibiotics are samples of “prescription only” treatments for acne. The topical antibiotics, in particular, are deemed effective acne treatments for teenagers since they can help fight acne by killing off the bacteria that infect the pores. On the other hand, oral antibiotics are acne treatments that affect the entire body, therefore they can cause serious and unfavorable side effects. Both of these forms of acne treatments for teens are now commonly recommended, even taking into account some of the side effects.

Vitamin A Derivatives

Vitamin A derivatives are great teen acne treatments since they prevent skin cells from clumping together and encourage the skin to shed. These acne treatments for teenagers are usually applied once a day, but just like some of the other acne treatments for teens mentioned earlier, they too have certain side effects such as dryness, redness, and irritation, even birth defects.
