What is PRO-NOX™ ?
PRO-NOX™ is a non-invasive, quick onset anxiety and pain management system with a short duration of effect. The PRO-NOX™ system uses nitrous oxide to safely and effectively eliminate anxiety and discomfort. The system is patient-controlled so you control the degree of relief you need when you need it. PRO-NOX™ can be used with any treatment where the patient is anxious or does not like the sensation of the treatment. Get that perfect look today by calling Elhosn Eye & Aesthetics today at 518-487-4200.
HOW IS PRO-NOX™ ADMINISTERED?
PRO-NOX™ is self-administered under the supervision of medically trained staff. The patient holds a disposable mouthpiece and slowly breathes in a mixture of 50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen through the mouthpiece and hose when feeling any anxiety or discomfort. You control the frequency and depth of the inhalations, thus the degree of relief.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PRO-NOX™?
PRO-NOX™ has various benefits for the easy relief of anxiety and pain:
• Non-invasive – no oral or IV sedatives
• Patient administers and controls the delivery
• Quick onset – takes effect in seconds for immediate relief
• Takes the edge off some procedures, particularly for patients who are uneasy or have a lower pain threshold
• Short duration – clears the body within minutes
• Patients can drive home afterward
• FDA cleared
Who Can Use PRO-NOX?
Anyone receiving treatment at Elhosn Eye & Aesthetics can use PRO-NOX™. Nitrous oxide has been used to calm children in pediatric dentistry for 50 years and in obstetrics to ease the laboring process. More recently, it has successfully expanded into medical aesthetics to help patients manage anxiety and pain. If you have questions or concerns, please speak with your provider prior to using the system.
Is PRO-NOX™ Safe? Are There Side Effects?
PRO–NOX™ has been safely used throughout the world for anxiety and pain management for decades.
Each patient receives a disposable hose and mouthpiece system for their treatment and each system has an internal on-demand value as an additional infection control measure.
Side effects are rare but can include: dizziness, nausea, light-headedness, and unsteadiness. However, nitrous oxide is metabolized and out of your system within minutes of discontinuing. Therefore, you return to normal activities quickly, including driving.
