Do you have a big date tomorrow night? Do you feel a pimple coming on? Are you fifteen years old? Well, you’re in luck. According to a press release, the FDA has approved the Zeno Zit Zapper:
Zeno is a handheld, portable electronic medical device that is clinically proven to make pimples disappear fast. In an FDA-reviewed, controlled clinical trial, 90% of blemishes treated with Zeno disappeared or faded within 24 hours…
Zeno is a clinically proven handheld (rechargeable) medical device. It is not a medication or a laser. It uses a medical heat dose treatment on individual acne blemishes in people with mild to moderate acne. It is best-suited to treat newly emerging blemishes – the ones where you can just feel a new bump forming under the skin. Zeno delivers a precisely controlled dose of heat to the area for 2-1/2 minutes. Dr. Crutchfield recommends treating blemishes 2-4 times, at least one hour apart, over the first 4-12 hours of a blemish’s appearance. It works by destroying bacteria and shortening the pimple’s life cycle significantly. Crutchfield also believes that it also increases blood flow in the area of the blemish and promotes quicker healing.
Crutchfield also believes Stacy Miller would have danced with him at the freshman semi-formal if he hadn’t been sporting a giant pimple on his nose that day, sources close to the dermatologist disclosed. Stacy could not be reached for comment.
Anyway, Crutchfield’s data and website photos suggest that mild to moderate acne is indeed susceptible to “the science of heat.” But if desperate teens are unable to afford the Zeno’s $225 price tag, we advise against the dangerous knock-off therapy called the “Zippo Zit Zapper.” The Zippo lighter, which also provides a steady source of heat, has not been FDA-approved.
