Experience Ultimate Comfort: Pro-Nox™ at Empower Aesthetics and Wellness
At Empower Aesthetics and Wellness, we believe that achieving your aesthetic goals should be a comfortable and positive experience. We understand that some treatments can cause anxiety or discomfort, which is why we are proud to offer Pro-Nox™, an innovative, patient-controlled pain and anxiety management system. With Pro-Nox™, you can relax, feel at ease, and confidently undergo a wider range of our advanced treatments.
What is Pro-Nox™?
Pro-Nox™ is an FDA-cleared analgesia system that delivers a precisely balanced mixture of 50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen. Often referred to as “laughing gas,” this well-established medical gas blend has been safely used for decades in various medical settings, including dental offices and even labor and delivery. Pro-Nox™ is not general anesthesia; it allows you to remain awake, aware, and in control throughout your procedure.
How Does Pro-Nox™ Work?
The beauty of Pro-Nox™ lies in its simplicity and patient empowerment. You self-administer the gas through a comfortable, handheld inhaler with a mouthpiece. When you feel the need for relief, you simply breathe in.
- Immediate Relief: The 50/50 oxygen and nitrous oxide mixture works almost instantly, typically within seconds of inhalation.
- Reduced Pain Perception: Nitrous oxide acts as a mild analgesic, dulling pain signals and significantly reducing discomfort.
- Calms Anxiety: The oxygen-nitrous oxide blend also has an anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effect, helping you feel more relaxed and at ease.
- Patient-Controlled: You are in complete control! You can inhale as much or as little as you need throughout your procedure, allowing you to tailor your comfort level to your exact needs.
- Rapid Clearance: Once you stop inhaling, the effects of Pro-Nox™ dissipate very quickly, typically within 5-10 minutes, as the gas rapidly leaves your system.
Why Choose Pro-Nox™ for Your Treatment?
- Enhanced Comfort: Transforms potentially uncomfortable procedures into a more relaxed experience.
- Patient Empowerment: You control your own comfort, inhaling when and if you need it.
- Fast-Acting & Fast-Clearing: Experience immediate relief with no lingering grogginess or impairment. You can even drive yourself home shortly after your treatment!
- Safe & Non-Addictive: A well-established and safe blend of gases that is not habit-forming.
- Minimizes Anxiety: Ideal for those who have a fear of needles or anxiety about medical procedures.
- No Pre-Treatment Restrictions: Unlike some sedatives, there are typically no fasting requirements before using Pro-Nox™.
- Versatile: Can be used with a wide array of our aesthetic treatments.

What to Expect During Your Pro-Nox™ Experience:
Before your treatment, your Empower Aesthetics and Wellness provider will explain how to use the Pro-Nox™ system. You’ll hold the disposable mouthpiece and simply breathe normally through it whenever you desire the effects. We will monitor you throughout your treatment to ensure your safety and comfort. You’ll remain fully conscious and able to communicate with your provider.
Safety & Side Effects:
Pro-Nox™ is generally very safe and well-tolerated. Minor, temporary side effects may include lightheadedness, dizziness, or a feeling of detachment, which quickly resolve once you stop inhaling. Our medical team will review your health history to ensure Pro-Nox™ is a suitable option for you.
Don’t Let Discomfort Hold You Back!
If you’ve been putting off a treatment due to concerns about pain or anxiety, Pro-Nox™ is your solution. It allows you to embrace the transformative power of aesthetic medicine with a newfound sense of peace and control.
