Cold sores are a bit of a heavy Monday topic. At least that’s the staff’s opinion. But I like the idea that folks who deal with cold sores may now have at hand something to speed healing.
Approved by Health Canada, the Zeno CS unit ($129), promises to help fast-forward through the cold-sore cycle with controlled doses of heat. Administered via direct contact with the tip of the hand-held device, the heat causes no pain yet destroys the active viral cells. Zeno CS clinical trials reportedly showed that four-minute treatments every four to six hours healed cold sores in about three days, half the time it took for untreated outbreaks to diminish.

And how is this different from the Zeno device for zits? Is this just a marketing scam?
where do you purchase the replacement tips? I’ve looked at shoppers & they only have the ones for the acne Zeno. Help!
I’ll see what I can find out, C — you might also try getting in touch with Shoppers customer service. http://www1.shoppersdrugmart.ca/en/Contact-Us.aspx
I’m with C, I went to get refills today and they said they are Discontinued!!!
I hope they are not, as they were the best thing to work!!!
Could be there’s a new model in town; I’ll check for you, Jodie.
I’ve been unsuccessful in locating a Zeno CS in the US but I already have the “classic” Zeno. Two days ago I felt that dreaded cold sore tingle on my bottom lip and reached for the Zeno. I’m hitting it with a one-two punch of Zeno four times a day followed immediately by a dose of Abreva. So far, things look promising: the swelling is almost gone, there are no fluid-filled blisters and most importantly, no cracking and bleeding! Hopefully, I’ll be all healed by next week…
