For many patients, the thought of cosmetic injections can bring feelings of anxiety or concern about discomfort. Fortunately, Pro-Nox® offers a simple, safe, and effective way to help patients feel more relaxed during treatment.
How Pro-Nox® Works
Pro-Nox is a patient-controlled system that delivers a 50/50 blend of nitrous oxide and oxygen. Patients simply inhale through the mouthpiece a few breaths before and during their injections, experiencing fast-acting relief from anxiety while also reducing the perception of pain. Because the effects wear off within minutes after stopping inhalation, most patients can return to their normal activities right away.
Benefits of Pro-Nox® During Injectable Treatments
- Reduces anxiety: helps feel more relaxed during injections, particularly beneficial for those patients with needle anxiety or who have had a previous negative experience.
- Decreases pain perception: because it lessens the discomfort associated with injections without completely numbing the area and complements topical anesthetics for improved comfort.
- Fast acting: as the effects are topically felt within 30-60 seconds. The effects wear off within minutes.
- Patient-controlled: when they decide to inhale, giving a sense of control that further reduces anxiety.
Pro-Nox® for Cosmetic Injectable Treatments
Whether you're receiving Bio Scalp injections, Botox®, dermal fillers, or other cosmetic injectable treatments, Pro-Nox can make your experience more comfortable and stress-free. By helping patients relax, it also allows clinicians to perform treatments with greater ease and confidence.
Who May Not Be a Candidate for Pro-Nox®?
It may not be suitable for:
- Patients with B12 Deficiency
