Pro-Nox™ Pain Management at Park Avenue Dermatology
Experience Comfort and Control During Your Procedures
At Park Ave. Derm, patient comfort is a priority. That is why we offer Pro-Nox™ pain management, an innovative system that allows you to stay relaxed and in control during your procedure. Whether you are receiving injectables, laser treatments, skin treatments, or other rejuvenation therapies, Pro-Nox™ can help minimize discomfort and anxiety without the lingering effects of traditional sedation.
What is Pro-Nox™?
Pro-Nox™ is a safe, FDA-cleared system that delivers a 50/50 blend of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a handheld device. Sometimes referred to as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide has been used safely in medicine for decades. With Pro-Nox™, you inhale the gas as needed during treatment and feel the effects within seconds. Once you stop breathing it in, the effects wear off quickly, allowing you to leave the office without delay.
Benefits of Pro-Nox™
Patients choose Pro-Nox™ for its reliability and convenience:
- Immediate relief: Eases discomfort and anxiety within seconds of inhalation.
- Patient control: You decide when to use it during treatment.
- Quick recovery: Effects wear off within minutes, so you can safely drive yourself home.
- Safe and proven: FDA-cleared and widely used in medical settings.
- Versatile: Can be used with many of our facial and body rejuvenation procedures.
How Does Pro-Nox™ Work?
During your appointment, a disposable mouthpiece is provided for you to self-administer Pro-Nox™. You hold the device and inhale as needed while your dermatologist at Park Ave. Derm performs the procedure. The 50/50 blend of oxygen and nitrous oxide quickly provides relaxation and pain relief without affecting consciousness. Once you stop inhaling, the gas leaves your system within minutes.

What to Expect During Pro-Nox™ Pain Management

Recovery and Results
