Can the Zeno Device "Cook" a Pimple?

In the news there is a new product called the Zeno Device for acne and it works by following a most interesting principle, "cooking" the pimple, but before that is discussed, understand that acne vulgaris, the most common type of pimples is caused primarily by bacteria.

There are a lot of myths about pimples and what causes them. Teenagers in particular believe that pimples are caused by greasy foods like pizza and potato chips and another food item that gets blamed is chocolate. These are some of the myths about pimples and acne. Out of all the food items that have been thought to cause acne the only foods that has been scientifically validated are dairy products like ice cream, yogurt, milk and cheese.

In addition to dairy the primary causes of pimples are stress and hormones. There are secondary factors that can cause acne breakouts because they stimulate the primary factors like stress and hormones that are known to cause acne.

So dairy, hormones and stress are known to cause pimples and acne but without bacteria the unsightly pimple would not exist. Before a pimple forms the skin pore has become clogged with sebum (natural skin oil) and dead skin cells. A skin pore that is clogged will darken over time resulting in a blackhead. These are the ideal conditions for a bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes to proliferate and cause the inflammation. Left untreated or dealt with improperly this inflammation will progress to pustules or lesions and can likely leave scarring or hyperpigmentation.

The Zeno device addresses pimples by sending a safe heat into the pimple which kills the bacteria. The Zeno will work for 2 1/2 minutes before it automatically turns off. This pinpointed delivery of heat will destroy the bacteria that are causing the infected pustule. The Zeno device when tested in clinical trials was able to reduce skin blemishes to the point of disappearing or fading within 24 hours at a rate of 90%.

The Zeno should always be used in conjunction with an appropriate lifestyle and hygiene that is known to reduce acne flareups and breakouts.

The Zeno acne device is not effective when used to treat blackheads or cystic acne. The FDA has approved the Zeno and some patients in clinical trials experienced temporary skin redness but there were no other reported adverse effects of using the Zeno device for acne.

If the Zeno can keep someone from taking prescription medications for their pimples and acne they should refrain from their potentially dangerous medications and faithfully use the Zeno.

So this is an interesting way to address pimple problems, to "cook" the pimple.
