Questions About Acne

Acne is the most common skin problem in the United States affecting not only teenagers, but up to 80% of people in their 20s and 30s*. Acne is a stubborn condition which is typically treated with oral and topical medications, which can produce good results but often with undesirable side effects.

We now have more ways than ever to treat acneic patients with our:

IPL (Intense Pulsed-Light) delivers concentrated light pulses that attack acne on two fronts:

  1. IPL therapy destroys acne bacteria for a quick clearance of current acne breakouts.
  2. IPL penetrates into the hyperactive sebaceous glands to slow down the production of sebum (oil), which can clog pores and cause future acne breakouts.

The result is a fast resolution of current breakouts and a long remission time between treatments, without any drug-related side effects.

Zeno is a hand-held, rechargeable acne clearing device designed for home treatment of individual acne inflammatory pimples and is designed for people with mild to moderate inflammatory acne.

P. acnes bacterium is the root cause of 90% of all acne pimples. 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. The Zeno device delivers precisely controlled dose of heat through a metal pad directly on a pimple for a specific period of time which causes the bacteria to self-destruct. When the bacteria die, the pimple goes away.

Zeno is a safe, painless, and effective acne treatment and 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 the 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.
