Pro-Nox
The Latest Solution to Pain Associated with Advanced Treatments
One of the biggest concerns patients have when considering some of the more advanced treatments like Thermage and Fractional Skin Resurfacing is pain management. This fear is understandable; the human brain is hardwired to experience anxiety at the prospect of pain. At Youthful Medical Spa, we make every effort to keep our patients completely comfortable before, during, and after their procedures. Fortunately, we have a powerful tool at our disposal: an innovative sedation system called Pro-Nox that’s designed to minimize both anxiety and pain.
What Are the Benefits of Pro-Nox?
In addition to providing a comfortable experience for patients, Pro-Nox offers a number of important safety and usability benefits:
- Pro-Nox is completely safe to use. Pro-Nox is so free of risk that patients even use it during childbirth. Many patients who are having noninvasive or minimally invasive treatments where there is a slight risk of pain, such as laser or Thermage procedures, prefer Pro-Nox for this reason. After all, one of the incentives of choosing a nonsurgical treatment is that they are less risky than surgery.
- Pro-Nox lets patients return to their lives more quickly. One of the biggest downsides of pain medication is grogginess and nausea. Patients who take pain meds are not able to drive after their procedure. Pro-Nox, by contrast, clears from the body in just minutes, letting you get on with your life as normal. Using Pro-Nox allows these patients to experience relief from pain and nervousness without creating a need for rest after procedures that otherwise boast zero downtime. Patients can safely drive home after having Pro-Nox.
- Pro-Nox is easy to use and affordable. You will be guided to inhale several times on and off as needed throughout the procedure. Every patient will get their own breathing tube attachment which can be used for future visits.
Unsurprisingly given all these advantages, Pro-Nox has a very high rate of patient satisfaction. Many patients report preferring sedation with Pro-Nox to conventional pain medication.
When Can I Choose Pro-Nox?
Pro-Nox can be used with most procedures, sometimes in combination with topical anesthetic for additional pain relief. Many patients choose Pro-Nox for Thermage, Facial Laser treatments such as IPL, Fractional Skin Resurfacing, Clear+Brilliant, and our Five Diamond treatment. Additionally it may be chosen for Microneedling, Laser Hair Removal etc… although many of these treatments are not very painful and we provide a prescription for topical numbing cream for several of them. Feel free to ask any of our consultants if you have questions or are concerned about pain associated with your chosen treatments.
It’s important to understand that the use of Pro-Nox isn’t limited to procedures that have a known potential to cause soreness or discomfort. Pro-Nox can be used virtually any time a patient has fears or concerns, because of its ability to mitigate anxiety. If, for instance, you have a phobia of needles, you should feel free to request Pro-Nox when you decide to get Botox or dermal filler injections.
