Take the Anxiety Out of Your Aesthetic Journey
At Southern Indiana Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, we believe that your path to confidence should be as comfortable as the results are beautiful. We understand that even non-surgical treatments like Morpheus8, Ultherapy, or miraDry can cause “procedure anxiety.” That’s why we offer Pro-Nox™, a patient-controlled inhaled analgesia that puts you in the driver’s seat of your own comfort.
What is Pro-Nox?
Pro-Nox is a pneumatically driven gas delivery system that provides a specialized blend of 50% Oxygen and 50% Nitrous Oxide. Commonly known as “laughing gas,” this mixture has been used safely in the medical and dental fields for decades to provide immediate relief from pain and anxiety.
Why Our Patients Love Pro-Nox
Unlike traditional oral sedatives or IV anesthesia, Pro-Nox is designed for the modern, busy patient:
- You Are in Control: You hold the mouthpiece and decide when to take a breath. You are fully awake and communicative throughout your treatment, but the “edge” of discomfort is completely removed.
- Instant Relief: The effects are felt within seconds of inhalation, allowing us to perform deeper, more effective treatments without you feeling the pinch.
- Rapid Clearance: Because the gas is cleared from your system by breathing, the effects wear off completely within 10 to 15 minutes.
- Drive Yourself Home: Unlike other forms of sedation, you do not need a driver. Once the treatment is over and the gas has cleared your system, you are safe to drive yourself back to work or home in Columbus or Bloomington.
When Do We Use Pro-Nox?
We offer Pro-Nox as an add-on for any procedure where you might feel a bit of “jitters” or physical discomfort:
- Morpheus8 RF Microneedling: For deeper tissue remodeling.
- Ultherapy: During the deep-heating ultrasound lift.
- miraDry: During the initial numbing process for permanent sweat reduction.
- Injectables: For patients who are particularly sensitive to needles during Botox or Dermal Filler sessions.
- CoolSculpting: To help you relax during the initial cooling and “massage” phases.
Why Choose SIAPS for Your Comfortable Care?
Dr. Jackson and Dr. Grow have spent over 20 years building a practice based on the highest medical standards.
- Safety First: Pro-Nox is an incredibly safe, non-addictive, and non-opioid solution for pain management.
- Better Results: When you are relaxed, your body doesn’t tense up. This allows our providers to work more efficiently and precisely, often leading to a better overall result for you.
- A Compassionate Environment: We don’t believe in “toughing it out.” We believe in providing a luxury, clinical experience where your mental and physical well-being are equally valued.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. You remain fully conscious and able to talk to your provider. It simply creates a feeling of deep relaxation and reduces the perception of pain.
Some patients feel a bit lightheaded or "floaty" for a minute or two, which is normal. These sensations fade almost immediately once you stop inhaling the gas.
Most healthy adults are great candidates for Pro-Nox. During your consultation at our Columbus or Bloomington office, we will review your medical history to ensure it is the right choice for you.
