What is PRO-NOX?
PRO-NOX is a medical pain management system that delivers a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen to provide conscious sedation during minor surgical procedures. It helps patients feel more comfortable and relaxed by reducing anxiety and discomfort without requiring general anesthesia. This device is particularly useful in minimally invasive treatments for managing discomfort while allowing patients to remain awake and responsive. Its effects wear off quickly after the procedure, enabling a rapid recovery and return to normal activities.
At Defyne, we use PRO-NOX along with our Signature procedures as well as any procedure in which a patient is not placed under general anesthesia. This may include Botox, fillers, Ellacor Micro-Coring, and more.

PRO-NOX works by delivering a precise mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a mouthpiece or nasal mask, allowing patients to inhale the gas and achieve a state of relaxed sedation. The nitrous oxide creates a calming effect and reduces the perception of pain, while the oxygen ensures that the patient remains comfortable and maintains adequate oxygen levels.
One of the key safety features of PRO-NOX is that it provides a self-administered system, allowing patients to control their level of sedation and stop inhalation if needed. Additionally, nitrous oxide has a rapid onset and wears off quickly, reducing the risk of prolonged sedation and allowing for a swift recovery. These points make PRO-NOX a safe and effective option for managing discomfort during minor procedures.
