The fight against acne may have just gone twenty-first century with a hand-held, battery-operated device that zaps pimples with a tip that warms to a pre-set temperature and sends heat beneath the surface of the skin to battle blemishes in twenty-four to forty-eight hours. The tip is designed to transfer heat into the follicle of any blemish and continually modulates the temperature to a fixed range even under different skin and circulation conditions by adjusting the flow of energy to match precisely the heat absorption of the individual user. This device adapts to your individual skin type and a digital timer controls the treatment time without causing damage to the skin beneath or around the blemish.

To be more specific, this device causes a heat-shock response in the acne causing bacteria that is responsible for at least 90% of all acne blemishes. Heat-shock proteins are activated by the heat in the tip of the device and reacts with pimples to fight acne causing bacteria, reduce inflammation and promote healing so the skin to return to a healthy condition. Heat shock response is a reaction bacteria have to heat. It causes bacteria to fight against itself and ultimately self-destruct.

Here’s why thermal treatments work in the battle against blemishes, pimples crop up when excessive skin oil and flaking skin clog the opening of a hair follicle. This creates the perfect location 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 disappears. And amazingly enough it can take only hours to accomplish this! Reports say that most times it takes only two to three 2½ minute treatments applied over a 24 hour time span to effectively treat most mild to moderate inflammatory acne. Unlike over-the-counter acne treatments which can take weeks to eliminate pimples, thermal therapy is effective after just one treatment as described above. So far, other than temporary redness immediately following heat application, no adverse side effects have been reported with proper thermal therapy treatments.

Imagine your medicine cabinet and bathroom drawers emptied of every fad acne treatment you’ve tried. According to the makers of the hand-held acne treatment device, this is the last remedy you’ll ever need. (Unless you’re beginning treatment with sever acne. Then you’ll have to visit your dermatologist to accomplish a suitable level of treatment before starting at-home thermal therapy.) The treatment tips are good for one use per tip, but additional tips can be purchased online or at select locations. With this quick and effective treatment, even moderate acne should be controlled almost immediately keeping your skin clear and free from sever breakouts.
