Pro-Nox™ is a pain and anxiety management treatment used during many aesthetic procedures, helping patients relax while numbing the brain’s pain receptors. It contains 50% nitrogen oxide and 50% oxygen. This therapeutic sedation technique has numerous advantages.

Pro-Nox™ at Chegar Facial Plastic Surgery

It’s only natural for patients to be worried about how comfortable they’ll be during any medical procedure. At Chegar Facial Plastic Surgery near Indianapolis — led by double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Burke E. Chegar — we frequently recommend Pro-Nox™ to mitigate these concerns. Pro-Nox™ can be used during almost any treatment that doesn’t involve general anesthesia, including lasers, Botox®, fillers, and more! Additional Pro-Nox™ benefits include:

Immediate Pain Relief

Pro-Nox™ begins working within seconds, providing almost instant relief. This is particularly useful in aesthetic procedures, which are usually quick and often booked as “lunch break” treatments. The rapid onset of pain relief allows patients to feel more comfortable throughout the procedure, enhancing their overall experience.

Quick Recovery and No Downtime

Nitrous oxide is rapidly metabolized by the body, and its effects wear off within minutes after use. Thus, patients can resume normal activities almost immediately, including driving.

Patient-Controlled

A unique feature of the Pro-Nox™ system is that it empowers patients to control their own pain management. This self-administered feature helps patients feel more at ease, knowing they can manage their pain on demand.

Non-Invasive and Safe

The combination of nitrous oxide and oxygen is safe for most patients and does not require needles or IVs. You simply inhale through the mouthpiece at your leisure.

Not Habit-Forming

Unlike certain prescription pain medications and sedatives that can lead to dependency with prolonged use, the nitrous oxide and oxygen mixture used in Pro-Nox™ is metabolized quickly and leaves the system without any lasting effects. This makes it ideal for patients who may undergo multiple treatments over time, as they can confidently use Pro-Nox™ for pain management without the risk of developing a dependency.

Compatible With Other Pain Management Techniques

Because it works quickly and clears from the system within minutes, Pro-Nox™ can be used alongside topical anesthetics, numbing creams, or other pain relief methods without risk of interference or complications. This allows us to tailor your pain management strategy based on your specific needs, ensuring maximum comfort during more extensive or complex aesthetic procedures.

Minimal Pre-Procedure Requirements

Pro-Nox™ requires minimal preparation. Patients do not need to fast, as they would with certain sedatives or anesthesia, and there are no restrictions on what they can eat or drink before the treatment.

In-Office Care

As long as your cosmetic treatment is being performed at our Chegar Facial Plastic Surgery office in Carmel, Indiana, you should be able to use Pro-Nox™. It does not require any specialized personnel or elaborate equipment, allowing for a more relaxed and familiar experience.
