If you’re sensitive to pain or your nerves are preventing you from committing to a cosmetic procedure, working with a practitioner like Dr. Hermann is your first step toward a successful, comfortable experience. Dr. Hermann offers Pro-Nox to patients who want to be more relaxed and have less pain during their aesthetic treatment.
What Is It?
Pro-Nox is a patient-controlled pain management system that delivers a blend of 50% oxygen and 50% nitrous oxide to the brain through a plastic mouthpiece. After just a few in-and-out breaths, you will feel relaxed and ready for your treatment. Patients appreciate that because they know themselves best; they know how much pain relief they’ll need and can stop and start the gas as they require. Self administration of analgesics alone can relieve a lot of anxiety patients have over accepting such treatments. There is no fear of “not waking up,” the treatment wearing off, or being out of control of their pain levels.
