Pro-nox

Frequently Asked Questions

Summit Dermatology is proud to provide our patients with a safe and effective way to control discomfort and anxiety during cosmetic treatments with the PRO-NOX Nitrous Oxide Delivery System.

What Is Pro-Nox?

It is a pneumatically driven gas system designed to deliver a safe mixture of 50% Nitrous Oxide and 50% Oxygen to adult and pediatric patients for the relief of pain and anxiety during cosmetic procedures.  It has been used around the world in labor and delivery for decades, and now it is available for all cosmetic treatments at Summit Dermatology, Laser Surgery & Aesthetic Center.

How Does It Work?

PRO-NOX is an inhaled analgesic controlled by the patient during cosmetic treatments.  You breathe in the oxygen and nitrous oxide mixture and it takes effect in seconds, offering you immediate relief from pain and anxiety and allowing for quick recovery.

Patients control the amount of gas inhaled to allow maximum comfort during treatment.  Studies have shown that this is a non-addictive alternative for pain management.
