Zit Death Watch: Thermaclear Test, Part 2

Our intrepid beauty tester Jenna sees how long her blemishes can stand up to the Thermaclear.

OK I have figured out which button is the ON switch (the fact that it's the one on the bottom gave it away) and after a whole lot of beeping and flashing, the blue light is looking like it is ready to do its thing. So, I guess what I need to do now is apply the ThermaClear device to my nasters pimple and voila instant goners. Now, If I can only figure out which button does the … whoa! That thermal zap is, well, zappy! When you push the button, it sends an intense pulse to the pimple, which lasts for a fraction of a second, then you hold the Thermaclear over the area for two seconds total. My first time, the sensation shocked me a little, but the next time I used it I was mentally prepared and the zap felt much slighter. But that's OK. I mean no pain, no gain, right? And I figure such a sensation must mean this bad boy is beyond working. But perhaps I'm not using this thing correctly. I guess I could take a look at the instructional booklet, which clearly indicates all the steps, uses and timing. But I'm impatient and I want this zit-o gone now. So, maybe I'll multitask and read the booklet while I zap myself with this pulsing blue light. — Jenna Mahoney
