Zeno As An Acne Treatment
In this article I’m going to talk about
an interesting form of acne treatment called “Zeno”.
So what exactly is Zeno, and how can it
treat acne?
Well, basically, the Zeno is a small
handheld electronic device. It’s been proven that it can help
get rid of pimples, and do it quickly (we’re talking 24 hours
timeframe).
Now you’re probably wondering how it
does this. It’s actually quite simple. The Zeno device heats up
the pimple to around 120 degrees.
It does this for around 2 and a half
minutes. If you do this two or three times over the course of a
24 hour period, it will get rid of your acne.
Why does this work?
To explain how it works, you need
to know the 4 main causes of why acne occurs. The first reason
is when the hair follicle becomes plugged. Another reason is
too much sebum being produced, the third reason is the pore
becoming inflamed, and finally, the forth reason is the
presence of something called propionibacterium
acnes.
Now the Zeno doesn’t cure all four of
these problems. Instead, it tackles the last two. When it heats
up the skin, the heat itself as well as the heat-shock proteins
in your body kill the bacteria that is giving you acne. The
influx of these heat-shock proteins also reduces the
inflammation in your pores.
Something you will probably be
wondering, is does it hurt? Surprisingly, it doesn’t. The heat
isn’t at a very high level, and although it leaves a little
skin redness, it won’t hurt. (The skin redness won’t last long
either).
Although Zeno does get good results
(and there are plenty of testimonials out there) it is only
meant as a solution for people with mild or moderate acne. And
it doesn’t replace good skin care.
One thing to bear in mind is that the
Zeno treats the symptom of acne, and not the cause. Some people
see it as only a short-term solution to the problem of
acne.
Another thing you need to know about
the Zeno is that the tips need to be replaced after a certain
amount of uses. You can get replacements suitable for 60 uses,
90 uses, and 150 uses. These are available through a
Physician.
So now let’s talk about cost. These
aren’t the cheapest little things, with the standard Zeno at
$159, the Pro model at $185, and the best model at
$200.
What’s the difference between the
models?
The standard model comes with the Zeno
device, a wall charger, and a 60-use tip.
The pro model comes with a 90-use
treatment tip, a leather case and a mirror. Plus the wall
charger.
And finally, the best model (called the
Zeno MD) is only available to your doctor. It comes with the
leather case and mirror, the wall charger, and a 150-use
treatment tip.
Okay, that’s about all I’ve got to say
about Zeno as an acne treatment. It certainly does work very
well, and if you’re the kind of person who has tried
everything, then this may very well work for you. It’s
especially effective if you only have mild acne, and is a good
way to keep it in check.
