microorganisms that cause skin lesions, bringing about the self-destruction of those bacteria and allowing the skin to return to a healthy, normal state. In the case of acne, the P. acnes bacterium is the root cause of 90% of all acne pimples.
Zeno is a simple electronic product designed to safely heat an acne lesion to a pre-set temperature range, known to generate heat shock response which participates in the bacteria’s death by causing the bacteria to self-destruct.
Zeno Treatment
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 dies, the pimple goes away.
Zeno applies a precisely controlled heat dose directly to the pimple through a metal pad.

Safe, painless, and effective acne treatment
Zeno can clear up a pimple in just hours. Two to three 2½-minute treatments spread over 24 hours are sufficient for most pimples. Often, only one treatment is needed. Most other medications can take days or even weeks to work.
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. 96% of the blemishes treated with Zeno achieved resolution or improvement within 48 hours and 100% of the blemishes treated with Zeno achieved resolution or improvement within 72 hours. All subjects strongly agreed that they were confident that they could use Zeno without supervision by a doctor.

Prescription Acne Medications AND Systemic Treatments/Topical Preparations
In some patients OTC acne medications may cause side effects such as skin irritation, burning, or redness. Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid can cause skin irritation and drying. When properly used, these products may contribute to a reduction and lessen the severity of acne in some individuals; however, over-the-counter acne medications do little to impact the blemishes that inevitably occur. The problems with at home treatment of acne have led many to seek prescription meds.
A variety of prescription medicine methods are used to prevent and treat acne: pill, topical, and injectables. Topical therapies such as Retin-A account for roughly half of the prescription acne medicine market. Systemic therapies such as Acutane make up the other half of this market. In general, mild to moderate acne cases are treated with topical medications, with more severe acne cases being treated with systemic or a combination of topical and systemic therapies. Antibiotics taken by mouth are often prescribed for moderate to severe cases, especially when there is a significant amount of acne on the back or chest. Antibiotic treatment is used to kill the bacteria P. acnes that cause acne flares. Prescription oral and topical medicines are sometimes combined. Problems exist with most of these acne treatment options. Acutane has been linked to serious side effects. Antibiotics are not as useful as they once were, as P. acnes have developed resistance to them.
 

Recently Introduced Prescription Acne Therapies
Recently, prescription acne therapies have been introduced to the dermatology community involving either UV light or laser. While these therapies are making some inroads to the acne treatment market, they not only require medical supervision, but they involve potentially harmful radiation, substantial investment in equipment and very high treatment costs. Finally, none of these therapies have been shown to be as effective at treating blemishes as Zeno
