Pro-Nox Pain & Anxiety

Get relief from treatment-related pain and anxiety with a patient-empowering system in New Jersey.

Calm Comfort for Confident Care.

Your comfort matters. Pro-Nox is a self-administered blend of oxygen and nitrous oxide that helps ease anxiety and discomfort during treatments. It wears off quickly, so you’re back to your day with no lingering effects. At Dermalogic, we offer this to make even the most sensitive procedures feel more manageable.

The system greatly reduces pain and anxiety without the drawbacks of losing consciousness or lingering side-effects common to general anesthetic and sedatives. This makes it perfect for patients who want to relieve their discomfort without sedation. Since the effects wear off quickly, patients can drive home after their appointment and get back to the rest of their day with ease.

The Pro-Nox system allows patients to manage their own inhalation of a 50-50 mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen, which takes effect within seconds. Breathing the mixture through a mouthpiece diminishes a patient’s sensations and provides a calming effect. Moving the mouthpiece and breathing normal air expels the nitrous from the body within a few exhalations, restoring a patient to full clarity.
