Dr. Michael Kim, our board-certified plastic surgeon, focuses his practice upon producing excellent results with his patients feeling comfortable, safe, and free from pain. The Pro-Nox system allows you to be pain and anxiety free, without anesthetic injections, topical numbing creams, or other methods of pain relief.
How does Pro-Nox work?
With Pro-Nox, when undergoing a procedure, you, the patient, control your level of pain relief and comfort you need. The Pro-Nox system works by providing a gas mixture through a flexible tube and disposable mouthpiece that allows you to breathe in the mixture in the quantity that works for you. As every person feels pain and anxiety differently, the patient-control factor makes this system particularly effective and popular.
What is Pro-Nox used for?
Many procedures can be made far more comfortable with this advanced pain management system. Rather than being administered intravenous sedation, we can deliver an array of aesthetic procedures in total comfort – directed by you. Some of the treatments we offer with the aid of Pro-Nox that are now far easier to experience include:
- Juvéderm
- BOTOX
- Dysport
- Jeuveau
- Restylane
- Radiesse
- Kybella
- FaceTite non-surgical facelift
- Some longer procedures
- Any treatment you find to be painful or causes anxiety
Why is Pro-Nox so effective?
The custom mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen is not the same as what you may have had during a dental procedure, as it is combined with a higher quantity of oxygen. With this pain and anxiety-relieving combination, controlled by you, your treatment will be comfortable, safe, and require no anesthetic.
Our patients report that their treatments are far easier to experience with this advanced pain management system. The gas mixture is both safe and non-addictive and works instantaneously – no waiting for your skin to numb, for faster, more comfortable treatments.
What are the benefits of Pro-Nox?
Dr. Michael Kim wants his patients to have the ability to undergo treatments in total comfort, and has chosen the Pro-Nox system due to its powerful benefits:
- Long in use in the medical field, the Pro-Nox system is one of the safest methods for pain and anxiety relief.
- You, as the patient, control your dosage – as only you know the level of pain relief you need.
- Acts instantly, no waiting.
- Once your procedure is complete, the effect is gone, and you are free to drive as usual, with no after-effects.
- No needle injections for less stress and faster treatment.
Dr. Michael Kim: Patient comfort matters to us.
It is almost impossible to feel completely pain-free and comfortable with some procedures. Very few of us can experience injections without some degree of pain and dread. Unfortunately, injectable anesthetics are not comfortable when administered, and numbing creams take time to work.
Rather than facing the discomfort of an injection, you now have the option of Pro-Nox, which you simply breathe in – at your own pace – with no need for an anesthetic injection or the long wait for a topical cream to be effective. No one knows your response to pain better than you do, and with this system, you are in control.
Is nitrous oxide safe?
It is always important to correctly administer any analgesic – even aspirin! With the Pro-Nox system and its 50/50 mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen, pain and anxiety can be managed safely and effectively. Nitrous oxide has been used in the field of medicine and dentistry since the 1800’s and is among the most well-researched and administered of all analgesics. You can be confident that your treatment will be faster, more comfortable, and require no anesthetic with Pro-Nox.
