What is ProNox?

PRO-NOX is a nitrous oxide delivery system for pain management. ProNox uses a 50/50 combination of oxygen and nitrous oxide to help ease both pain and anxiety during cosmetic or surgical procedures. What makes ProNox unique is that it’s completely patient-controlled—you decide how much sedation you need and when to use it. The effects kick in within seconds, giving you instant pain relief from discomfort or nervousness as the procedure progresses. Pro-Nox doesn’t put you to sleep; instead, it helps you feel calm, relaxed, and in control throughout your medical procedure.

If you’ve been avoiding a procedure because of pain and anxiety, Pro-Nox could be the perfect solution for pain relievers, making your experience smoother and more comfortable.

What Procedures Can Be Improved by Using ProNox?

Pro-Nox™ is a 100% self-administered N2O and O2 gas delivery system, offering effects often described as similar to “laughing gas.” The Pro-Nox system can significantly enhance comfort, ease, and pain management during a wide variety of procedures, including:

• Minor or minimally invasive surgical treatments.
• Any procedure that might cause pain, discomfort, or anxiety.
• Situations where patients want more control over their comfort during treatment.

Benefits of Pronox

ProNox offers unique benefits unlike anesthesia, making it a standout choice for managing discomfort and anxiety during medical treatments:

• Quick Recovery: ProNox clears from your system within ten minutes after you stop inhaling it, so there’s no need to worry about lingering grogginess.
• Patient-Controlled: You’re in charge of your comfort. This is a self-administered system to suit your unique needs.
• Non-Addictive: ProNox is safe, non-addictive, and designed for short-term use during your procedure.
• Fast-Acting: The effects are felt within seconds, providing immediate relief from pain or anxiety.
• No Long-Term Side Effects: ProNox doesn’t leave lasting effects. While a mild headache may occur for some, it’s rare and usually brief.

With the Pro-Nox system, patients can manage pain or discomfort on their terms, without impacting their daily routine.

How Does PRO-NOX Work?

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas,” is well-established as a fast-acting mild sedative. While nitrous oxide has been used in medical settings for many years, PRO-NOX is innovative in how it combines nitrous oxide with oxygen in a patient-controlled device.

The process starts with inhaling a 50/50 mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide through a patient-controlled device. As you breathe in, the mixture provides quick pain relief that increases comfort and aids in calming anxiety. You can adjust the level of sedation based on your comfort, giving you control throughout the medical procedures. The effects are fast-acting, and once you stop inhaling, ProNox clears from your system within 10 minutes, leaving no lingering side effects.

Unlike anesthesia (which halts the brain and body’s nerve signals), analgesia temporarily blocks the body’s pain signals from reaching the brain, and disassociates the brain’s ability to even process pain signals, ProNox helps you stay awake and aware while ensuring you feel relaxed and at ease during your medical treatment.

Who is a Good Candidate for ProNox?

Pro-Nox is a great option for a variety of individuals, especially if you:

• Have been postponing cosmetic procedures due to fear of pain and anxiety about medical settings.
• Experience nervousness or discomfort at the thought of being in a doctor’s office.
• Are afraid of needles or injections.
• Are allergic to or cannot tolerate general anesthesia.

Pro-Nox can help make your procedure more comfortable, but it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional and discuss your medical history to ensure it’s the right choice for your needs.

Why Should You Consider Pro-Nox?

If you’re hesitant about cosmetic procedures due to fear of pain, anxiety, or the thought of local anesthesia, Pro-Nox could be the solution you’ve been looking for. Here’s why it might be the perfect choice for you:

• Alternative to General Anesthesia: If you’re unable to use or prefer not to use general or local anesthesia, Pro-Nox offers a safe and effective alternative for many procedures.
• Control & Comfort: Pro-Nox is self-administered, putting you in control of your comfort level. It works quickly to relieve pain and anxiety relief during your procedure.
• Quick Recovery: The effects wear off in minutes, so you can resume your normal activities right after your procedure without any lingering side effects.
• Affordable & Accessible: For just an additional $125, ProNox can be added to your procedure, making it an affordable way to ensure a more relaxed experience.

Risks

While Pro-Nox is generally safe for most patients, it’s important to be aware of potential risks, including:

• Mild Side Effects: Some people may experience a headache, dizziness, or lightheadedness after using ProNox, though these effects are typically brief and uncommon.
• Nausea: A small number of patients may feel nauseous after using ProNox, but this usually resolves quickly.
• Overuse: If not used properly, excessive inhalation could cause feelings of dizziness or disorientation.
• Not Suitable for Everyone: ProNox may not be suitable for individuals with certain health conditions, such as respiratory issues or those who are pregnant. It’s important to consult your healthcare provider to ensure it’s the right choice for you.

Overall, the risks associated with Pro-Nox are minimal, and it is considered a safe, effective option for many patients when used as directed. Always consult with your plastic surgery provider to determine if it’s right for your specific needs.
