Pro-Nox™ Ocean County, Toms River, & Stafford Township

Pro-Nox™ delivers an exact 50/50 combination of oxygen and nitrous oxide. This combination has been used for decades to safely eliminate pain and anxiety without anesthesia or pain medicine. With Pro-Nox™, you control how much you need, as it is self-administered under our medical guidance.

Pro-Nox™ is a great option for injectables such as BOTOX and fillers, to name a few. Also, It is a great option with all of our laser treatments or cosmetic procedures in the office.

Pro-Nox™ can give you relief in seconds while dissipating in minutes after your treatment. As a result, it is a safe treatment to have with a short recovery allowing you to drive home.

Pro-Nox™ is generally safe for most individuals, but it may not be suitable for those with certain medical conditions, such as severe respiratory issues or certain metabolic disorders. It is essential to discuss your medical history and current medications with Dr. Small before using Pro-Nox™ to ensure its suitability and safety.

Patients should consider the specific procedure they are undergoing and its duration. Pro-Nox™ is ideal for short and minimally invasive procedures that cause mild to moderate discomfort or anxiety. For more extensive or invasive procedures, other forms of sedation or pain relief may be more appropriate.

Pro-Nox™ is not a replacement for local anesthesia or other pain-relief methods. It is often used in combination with local anesthesia to enhance comfort and reduce anxiety during procedures.

While Pro-Nox™ is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, like any medical intervention, there are potential side effects that patients should be aware of. Common side effects of Pro-Nox™ include:

• Dizziness or Lightheadedness – Some patients may experience mild dizziness or lightheadedness while using Pro-Nox™. This sensation is typically short-lived and resolves quickly after the administration of the gas is stopped.
• Nausea or Vomiting – In rare cases, Pro-Nox™ can cause mild nausea or vomiting. This is more likely to occur in individuals who are sensitive to nitrous oxide. If you experience nausea, Dr. Small may adjust the gas mixture or dosage.
• Headache – Some patients may develop a headache after using Pro-Nox™. Hydrating well before and after the procedure can help reduce the risk of headaches.
• Feeling Faint or Tired – Pro-Nox™ can lead to a feeling of faintness or fatigue in some individuals. Resting and avoiding sudden movements can help alleviate these sensations.
• Inhalation Irritation – In very rare cases, the inhalation of Pro-Nox™ may cause mild irritation to the airways. This is more likely to occur with prolonged exposure to high concentrations of nitrous oxide.
