About Zeno™

Effective Acne Treatment
Zeno clears pimples in people with mild to moderate acne. It is a hand-held, portable, electronic medical device that is clinically proven to make pimples disappear fast. Zeno is the most scientifically advanced and effective acne device available without a prescription.

The proprietary Zeno technology triggers a heat shock response in 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. Heat shock response is the reaction bacteria have to heat, whereby they transcript a number of genes and activate heat shock proteins. These heat shock proteins participate 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. Learn about thermal treatment of acne pimples. Learn about acne and pimples.

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.
