Clear up your acne. Eliminate your pimples with the Zeno.
Clinically proven portable, hand-held rechargeable medical device for at-home treatment of individual inflammatory acne pimples.
Effective Acne Treatment
Zeno clears pimples in people with mild to moderate inflammatory 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 TM 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 a reaction bacteria have to heat whereby they transcript a number of genes and activate heat-shock proteins. These heat-shock proteins participate in the bacterias 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 die, 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.
Who should use Zeno?
Zeno is for people with mild to moderate inflammatory acne. If in doubt, ask your doctor.
When should Zeno be used?
Use Zeno at the first sign of a pimple. It works best when used on a pimple in the early stages of development. In addition, the sooner pimples are cleared up, the less chance they have to leave scars.
Directions:
Note: Your Zeno batteries do not come charged. Charging your Zeno for4 hours will provide enough power for up to two (2) treatment cycles. The batteries should be fully charged for at least 6 hours before regular use. Use your Zeno only with battery power. For safety reasons, Zeno will not work when plugged into the Wall Charging Plug.
- Remove the cover and place it to the side. Make sure that a Treatment Tip Cartridgeis installed (your new Zeno has one already installed). Wipe the Treatment Tip with a clean cloth and warm soapy water or alcohol. Always clean the Treatment Tip before each treatment cycle. Includes 90 Tips.
- Press the Power Button. A three-tone Power On sound means that
- Zeno is starting up. The lights on the front panel will turn on, and the Treatment Activation Button will first glow amber for about a minute, then it will flash green. The flashing green light and a two-tone Ready sound mean that Zeno is ready for treatment.
- Note: Zeno will turn itself off if a treatment cycle is not started within 35 seconds of the Ready signal (when the Treatment Activation Button flashes green).
- Zeno gives multiple beeps after 25 seconds to alert you that it will power down if the Treatment Activation Button is not pressed within 10 seconds.
- If Zeno does power down, restart it by pressing the Power Button. Wait for the Treatment Activation Button to turn from amber to flashing green, then go to step 4 Treatment
- Place (do not push) the Treatment Tip onto the pimple. Use a mirror to be sure you are on the blemish. Pushing hard does not help the treatment and may make temporary redness last longer.
- Press the Treatment Activation Button, making it change from flashing to solid green. A three-tone Treatment Start sound means Zeno is starting a treatment cycle. Hold the Treatment Tip on the pimple. Every 30 seconds a single Treatment Pacer tone will sound to help you keep track of the treatment cycle time. After 2½ minutes, the Treatment Activation Button will turn amber and a three-tone Treatment Complete sound lets you know the treatment cycle is done. For the best results, keep the Treatment Tip in full contact with the pimple for the entire cycle. If you need to stop a treatment cycle, simply press the Treatment Activation Button. The button will turn amber, and when ready, flash green to let you know that Zeno is ready for treatment.
- Remove Zeno from the pimple. Depending upon your skin you may notice some temporary skin redness around the treatment area. This redness is normal and should reduce over the next few hours. See the Precautions section on page 6.
- If you want to treat another pimple, wait about 10 seconds until the Treatment Activation Button again flashes green, then start again at Step 4. When you have finished all treatments (limited by a Safety Feature to 3 treatments in a row), press the Power Button. A two-tone Power Off sound will let you know Zeno is turned off. The Safety Feature releases the Zeno after 2 minutes, and your Zeno can then be used for additional treatments.
Helpful Hints:
- Before your first treatment, get used to the treatment by pressing the Treatment Activation Button and placing the Treatment Tip 2 onto your forearm. You should not find the heat dose painful. In most cases the skin becomes less sensitive quickly. Press the Treatment Activation Button again to stop the treatment. To avoid this test being counted as a treatment cycle, complete the test within 30 seconds.
- We suggest you use a mirror to properly place the Treatment Tip on a pimple and to make sure the tip remains in constant contact with the pimple during treatment. Be sure to PLACE, not PUSH, Zeno against the pimple. Extra pressure is not needed.
- The treatment cycle may be stopped at any time by pressing the Treatment Activation Button. If the cycle is stopped within the first 30 seconds, it will not be counted as a treatment and will not reduce the total treatment count.
- As a safety feature, Zeno allows only 3 treatment cycles within a 15-minute time period. If you attempt to go over this limit, Zeno will power off. You may begin more treatments after 2 minutes.
- Please note that facial hair may prevent full and complete contact with the pimple. It is important to have full and constant contact with the pimple during the treatment cycle.
- If your skin is light, you may be more likely to have redness around the treatment area. In almost all cases, such redness is normal and should not cause alarm. If you experience an adverse reaction, stop using Zeno and contact your health care professional.
