Pro-Nox™

Pronox™ is a patient-controlled, inhaled analgesic system that provides instant relief of anxiety and discomfort during medical and cosmetic procedures. A mixture of 50% nitrous oxide (commonly known as laughing gas) and 50% oxygen, Pronox™ is delivered through a mouthpiece or mask. It has a rapid onset, so you’ll start feeling relaxed almost immediately, and the effects wear off quickly once the treatment is complete, allowing you to resume normal activities almost right away. Unlike traditional sedation methods, Pronox™ does not require any needles or IV lines, making it a comfortable, non-invasive option for many patients.

Before your procedure begins, your Couture dermatologist or specialist will explain how Pronox™ works and provide you with a comfortable mouthpiece or mask. You’ll be able to inhale the gas at your own pace, with the effects kicking in quickly, providing a sense of calm and relaxation. As the procedure progresses, you can continue to inhale Pronox™ as needed to maintain your comfort level. Once your treatment is completed, the effects of the gas will dissipate rapidly, allowing you to feel alert and ready to go about your day. The entire process is simple, fast, and effective.

Pronox™ offers a range of benefits that make it an ideal solution for managing discomfort and anxiety during procedures. The effects of Pronox™ are felt almost immediately, allowing you to relax and feel at ease quickly during your treatment. Since the effects wear off as soon as you stop inhaling, you can resume your normal activities right away without any lingering drowsiness or grogginess. This non-invasive option requires no needles or IVs, providing a simple and effective way to alleviate pain and anxiety. With Pronox™, you have control over how much of the gas you inhale, allowing you to adjust your level of comfort throughout the procedure. Safe and trusted for decades in both medical and dental settings, Pronox™ offers a reliable, effective solution for patients of all ages.

While Pronox™ is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects. These can include lightheadedness, dizziness, nausea, or a feeling of slight disorientation, particularly if the gas is inhaled too quickly or in excess. However, these effects typically subside quickly once the patient stops inhaling the gas. In rare cases, patients may feel a bit of tingling or a temporary alteration in their sense of hearing or vision. It's important to note that Pronox™ does not cause long-term side effects, and because its effects wear off so rapidly, patients can typically resume normal activities almost immediately after the procedure. If you have any concerns or a history of respiratory or cardiac conditions, it’s essential to discuss this with our team before using Pronox™ to ensure it’s the right choice for you.
