Zap Zits with Zeno Hot Spot

The worst way to wake up in the morning is with a big red zit on your face. To get rid of these annoying problem pimples, the new and affordable Zeno Hot Spot could do the trick.

Instead of using messy topical creams or trying to cover it up with makeup, the Zeno Hot Spot clears up skin by using sustained heat for two and a half minutes to destroy the bacteria that causes pimples.

First released by Zeno in 2005, the FDA approved and dermatologist recommended product was expensive, selling for about $225. In January, the company released the much more affordable product, the Zeno Hot Spot, which retails at $40 and can be found online and at local pharmacies.

If the pimples keep springing up in the worse of times, consider the Zeno Hot Spot, a device that uses heat to clear up those blemishes.

Zeno’s board certified dermatologist, Dr. Gervaise Gerstner, says the Zeno Hot Spot is the most effective way to treat emerging pimples. “In the past I probably would’ve recommended a strong topical treatment and perhaps an ice cube or hot pack,” she says. “Now there is a way to kill the bacteria at its source, which stops the pimple from growing. The Zeno Hot Spot delivers enough heat to kill the bacteria that causes blemishes to surface and worsen.

Simply put, it’s an extremely effective over-the-counter way to treat blemishes at the first sign of a breakout.” The Zeno Hot Spot will perform about 80 treatments and indicator lights on the device show how many uses it has left. For best results, Myzeno.com recommends using the Zeno Hot Spot on a newly emerging pimple two or three times during a period of 24 hours.
