So, why use Pro-Nox? Well, here at Cronin Dermatology, we use Pro-Nox Anesthetic for a variety of procedures including surgeries and laser treatments. Not only is it somewhat of an alternative to anesthesia, but plenty of studies show that it’s an effective and non-addictive way to comfort patients.
Generally, surgeries require a topical or injected numbing product like Valium or Vicodin. However, Pro-Nox eliminates the need for injection numbing. And because Pro-Nox makes the procedure significantly more comfortable, the provider doesn’t have to stop to relieve patient discomfort.
Pro-Nox is a natural blend of 50% oxygen and 50% nitrous analgesia, and it’s self-administered by the patient through a valve inhalation system. (The system only delivers the gases when the patient inhales.) During the procedure, the patient holds the disposable mouthpiece and hose and inhales the nitrous oxide. That way, they’re in complete control of how much (or how little!) nitrous oxide is used.
