ThermaClear Acne Treatment Device
ThermaClear Acne Treatment Device
The ThermaClear acne treatment device uses clinically proven Thermal Pulse Technology to clear pimples fast. It is a safe, easy to use, FDA-cleared hand held medical device for the treatment of mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne. ThermaClear uses a very short controlled burst of heat to treat individual acne lesions, neutralizing the underlying bacteria that cause acne. This healing thermal energy helps to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation and clear pimples faster. An FDA-reviewed clinical study proves that pimples treated with ThermaClear cleared in less than half the time of pimples not treated with ThermaClear. ThermaClear is most effective at the earliest sign of a pimple. Most patients find that pimples treated early in the cycle never develop into blemishes.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Pretty useful
This is a pretty useful albeit expensive machine. If used right when you feel a pimple coming on it helps to heal it much much quicker than if you just let it go and put some benzoyl peroxide on it. It works especially well if you combine it with a good regimen.
Customer service is also great with thermaclear. When mine stopped working 6 months in they paid they quickly paid for shipping of the defective unit back to them and shipped by UPS a brand new one for free, which really impressed me.
It is a little painful, but its really worth it in the end for some peace of mind. Even though its not designed to be used for cystic acne, it does indeed help prevent it if the pimple is caught very early. However, I would recommend that severe cystic acne should still be treated by a licensced dermatologist. The real value is in treating those smaller pustules “aka the small red bumps that hurt”, which it does very well.
I have used both zeno and this product and while Zeno DOES work better, this one has many advantages: 1). Tip only needs to be replaced once a year saving a LOT of $$$$$ 2). treatment time is only 2 sec vs. 30 seconds per pustule with zeno (it adds up if you have a few). Overall i think its much better.
4 Stars quick
Way quicker than the competition and you’ll spend much less on tips. Seems to work just as well.
4 Stars Works as it Claims.
I came across this while I was research Zeno. I liked that it ran on batteries so that I didn’t have to throw it away if the built-in rechargable decided to die. [...].
Its slightly bigger than the Zeno and is very simple to use. Yes it does take a little getting used to - very similar to how the laser or IPL for hair removal feels though its not that intense. It has two settings, one isn’t so intense so if you are sensitive, you can start off with that.
The one downside is that in order to get the tip hot enough to zap those pimples, it needs to get that energy from somewhere - the 2 AA batteries. So it uses the batteries quicker than I hoped.
I’ve had acne all of my adult life and I do believe this thing works. If you get the pimple right when it forms, it makes it disappear fast. If you get it late, it speeds up its cycle and you get rid of it much faster. I just need to be a little more diligent about using it. 
1 Stars Did not clear my acne
My skin started breaking out after getting pregnant. I didn’t want to use any chemicals on my skin (even though some are considered to be safe during pregnancy), so I purchased this item. I used the device exactly as directed throughout my first trimester and partially in my second trimester. Honestly you get used to the pain quickly and pain was not a big issue for me. The issue was that it didn’t help healing a single pimple (and I have mostly light acne). The device is supposed to heal acne faster if used when you feel it first before it emerges but that didn’t work either and the ones I tried became pimples at around the normal maturation time. I stopped using this device and do not recommend it at all.
5 Stars Will not leave home with out it.
Yes, it works. Thermaclear has been so far the best thing for my face since Proactive. After using Thermaclear for 3 days, I already notice a difference in my face. Pimples that normally last a week (even with proactive) were gone in 2 days. I used Thermaclear 2-3 times a day. I recommend using Thermaclear after you clean your face. Yes, Yes, Yes, it does sting, but after a day, you get used to it. I find myself feeling and touching my face in an attempt to find a pimple so I can zap it!Thermaclear may not work for everyone but it worked for me!
