Acne Gadgets Rather then Cleansers, Creams and Moisturizers
When you think acne treatment I’m sure you almost always think of the Proactiv commercial or the hundreds of cleansers and gels that are sold at your local drug store. How ever did you know that there are acne treatment devices that zap zits even before they start?
That’s right, devices like Thermaclear and Zeno acne are becoming more popular. In fact I saw refill tips for one of them in my local pharmacy they other day which is what prompted me to make this post. I figure if they’re making it into the main stream we might start to see more of these little gadgets popping up.
How do they Work?
Rather then waiting for a break out to occur most acne devices zap the bacteria in the skin before a full on acne breakout occurs. The small tip applies amount of heat and energy to the skin which kills the bacteria in the poor causing the acne pimple to grow in the first place.
The tips eventually need replacing and the devices do require charging to run on batteries, how ever it’s a nice treat to be able to zap a zit before it grows out.
Long Term Effects?
There don’t appear to be any long term side effects using a device like Thermaclear or zeno. There is a bit of a sensation when you’re using the treatment but it doesn’t last after it’s complete. Most users have no complaints about rashes or marks, nor do they have other adverse reactions to it.
I think it’s the future of acne treatment myself, and I like it a lot more then using a three step cleansing system every morning and night.
