Tyrell, Inc. manufactures Zeno®, a unique acne-fighting device that utilizes heat to treat infections. It delivers a specific heat dose for a specific amount of time to kill the bacteria in emerging pimples. In clinical trials, 90 percent of patients saw results within as little as 24 hours.
“What makes us a leader in our industry is the fact that we’re creating a brand new category. We’re the first and only device that is approved by the FDA for over-the-counter treatment of acne blemishes, and that really puts us in a class by ourselves,” said Walter J. Klemp, CEO of Tyrell, Inc. “We couldn’t be happier about receiving this prestigious accolade from the Houston Business Journal,” Klemp continued.
