Imagine a treatment experience where your comfort is a top priority and anxiety is a thing of the past. At Washingtonian Plastic Surgery, we make this a reality with Pronox—a powerful solution designed to keep you calm and relaxed during procedures. Whether you’re preparing for surgery or a non-invasive treatment, discover how Pronox can transform your experience into one that’s stress-free and soothing.
What Is Pronox?
Pronox is a self-administered nitrous oxide (laughing gas) system designed to relieve anxiety and discomfort. This innovative system blends 50% oxygen and 50% nitrous oxide, providing patients with a fast-acting solution to ease their nerves during aesthetic treatments. Unlike traditional forms of sedation, Pronox gives patients control—they can inhale it as needed for immediate relief.
Benefits of Pronox
- Immediate Relief: Pronox works within seconds to relax patients, reducing both physical discomfort and emotional anxiety.
- Patient-Controlled: You decide when and how much you need. The system is designed to allow patients to self-administer throughout their procedure, ensuring you feel comfortable the entire time.
- Quick Dissipation: One of the standout benefits of Pronox is how quickly it leaves your system. After discontinuing use, the effects wear off in as little as 5-10 minutes, so you can resume normal activities shortly after your treatment.
- Non-Invasive: Unlike heavier sedatives, Pronox doesn’t require needles or IVs. It’s a simple inhalation system, making it a preferred option for those who want minimal intervention.
- Minimal Side Effects: Pronox is known for having minimal side effects, and since it’s used on an as-needed basis, you control how much you inhale, further minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
Who Is a Candidate for Pronox?
Pronox is suitable for most patients, especially those who experience mild to moderate anxiety about treatments or who want to minimize discomfort without full sedation. It’s an excellent option for individuals who:
- Prefer minimal downtime after a procedure.
- Want to remain conscious and aware during their treatment.
- Are anxious or fearful of needles or invasive techniques.
- Are undergoing procedures that involve mild discomfort or longer treatment times.
As always, a thorough consultation will help us determine if Pronox is the right fit for your specific treatment and medical history.
Aesthetic Treatments Enhanced by Pronox
offer Pronox for a variety of aesthetic treatments, including:
- Injectables: Dermal fillers and Botox can cause mild discomfort during injections. Pronox helps ease any anxiety or sensitivity, making the process more comfortable.
- Laser Treatments: Whether you’re undergoing IPL, Fraxel, or RF microneedling, Pronox can be an excellent option to minimize discomfort.
- Body Contouring: Mino body contouring and shaping procedures, like liposuction with fat grafting can be made more comfortable with Pronox.
- Minor Surgeries: For procedures such as scar revision or skin lesion removal, Pronox can help manage discomfort while keeping you alert.
What to Expect After Using Pronox
Since Pronox dissipates from the body quickly, most patients feel back to normal within 10 minutes after their procedure. Unlike other sedatives, Pronox doesn’t leave you feeling groggy or “out of it.” This means you can typically drive yourself home, resume your daily activities, and go about your routine soon after your treatment.
