Discomfort is one of the most common hindrances for patients seeking laser treatments. At Capital Laser & Skin Care, we offer patient-controlled PRO-NOX™ treatments for optimal comfort throughout your procedure. Men and women no longer need to feel apprehensive about undergoing the procedure they want.
PRO-NOX™: What Is It?
PRO-NOX™ is a pneumatically-driven gas system that has been used in delivery rooms for decades to minimize pain, anxiety, and awareness. PRO-NOX™ is non-addictive and has no adverse come-down effects. It’s comprised of 50% oxygen and a 50% nitrous oxide mixture that works within seconds to relieve discomfort.
PRO-NOX™: Less Preparation
Unlike general anesthesia, PRO-NOX™ does not have a long list of pre-appointment instructions. Patients can simply show up to their in-office procedure without dietary or other restrictions beforehand. We’re able to increase patient comfort without the need for extensive protocol.
PRO-NOX™: Maximum Patient Comfort
PRO-NOX™ provides pain and anxiety relief during aesthetic procedures such as laser treatments. It’s patient-driven giving you the ability to control comfort levels throughout the entire procedure. All patients have to do is inhale. PRO-NOX™ takes effect within seconds instantly minimizing awareness. Get the most out of more aggressive treatments that would otherwise not be tolerable without general anesthesia.
PRO-NOX™: Less Downtime
There are no hangover effects associated with PRO-NOX™. PRO-NOX™ will be out of your system within 10-minutes. Patients can drive themselves home after their treatment and go about normal routines without feeling dizzy or nauseous.
PRO-NOX™: Is It Right for You?
PRO-NOX™ is a non-addictive pain management alternative to general anesthesia. It has been shown to be safe and effective for both adults and pediatric patients alike. Whether you cannot or don’t want to undergo general anesthesia for pain and anxiety relief, PRO-NOX™ can help.
