There is a new product that can be used to help clear up acne. Thermaclear, a handheld device that generates heat, has been approved by the US FDA for use as a treatment applied directly to the skin to treat the area surrounding an acne lesion. It is said to be more effective than acne spot treatment creams.
A spot treatment cream applied to an acne lesion would work by delivering bacteria-fighting ingredients to the area, whereas this device works by heating the area. The founder of Thermaclear says that it is so effective that usually, if you apply the device to the spot where you feel an acne lesion developing under the skin, it will stop growing and never make it to the surface of the skin.
