Feeling nervous about discomfort doesn’t have to keep you from an aesthetic treatment you’re interested in. Pro-Nox™ is an inhaled pain and anxiety management option that uses a fixed 50/50 blend of nitrous oxide and oxygen. It acts quickly while allowing you to remain awake, responsive, and in control during treatment.
Park Meadows Aesthetics offers Pro-Nox as an optional comfort measure for most non-surgical treatments at our Lone Tree, CO, office. Our aesthetics team works under the guidance of board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Jeremy Williams and Dr. Christopher Williams, and our experienced aesthetic nurse injectors understand that comfort can make a meaningful difference in how you feel about your appointment.
What Is Pro-Nox?
Pro-Nox is a self-administered analgesia system that delivers equal parts nitrous oxide and oxygen. Nitrous oxide is commonly called “laughing gas,” but Pro-Nox is different from anesthesia that puts you to sleep. You stay conscious and able to communicate with your provider throughout treatment.
Because you administer the gas yourself, you control when you inhale it based on how you’re feeling. The effects begin after only a few breaths and are short-lived once you stop using the system.
Pro-Nox may be worth discussing with us when treatment-related discomfort, needles, or anxiety make you hesitant about an aesthetic procedure.
How Does Pro-Nox Help During an Aesthetic Treatment?
Pro-Nox can temporarily lessen pain and anxiety without requiring deeper sedation. You breathe the gas through the delivery system as instructed by our team, allowing you to use it when you need additional comfort.
Some people describe feeling calmer, lighter, or slightly euphoric while using nitrous oxide. Because responses vary, Pro-Nox doesn’t guarantee a completely pain-free treatment. Instead, it gives us another way to make certain procedures easier to tolerate.
Our team also uses other comfort measures when appropriate, including products containing lidocaine and ice during certain injectable treatments.
You can review more of our recommendations for preparing for your appointment before your visit.
When Can Pro-Nox Be Used?
Park Meadows Aesthetics makes Pro-Nox available for most treatments. It may be particularly useful when you’re concerned about needles, repeated injections, or procedures that can cause temporary discomfort.
Your provider will determine whether Pro-Nox is appropriate for you and the service you’re receiving. Let our team know when scheduling or during your visit if you’re interested in using it so we can discuss your options.
