Pro-Nox Conveniently located to serve Salinas, CA

Salinas Valley Plastic Surgery and Revitalessence Medical Spa and Laser Center are excited to introduce “Laughing Gas” to our practices as an adjunct to make procedures more comfortable and tolerable. We offer Pro-Nox in Salinas as a trusted option that puts you in control, easing anxiety and discomfort without the need for full sedation.

What Is Pro-Nox?

Many people find laser procedures and injections to be uncomfortable, if not downright painful. Getting Pro-Nox in a Salinas, CA practice like Revitalessence is a safe and effective way to make those procedures much more comfortable.

Nitrous Oxide has long been used in anesthesia as part of a balanced anesthesia. The 50% Nitrous Oxide/50% Oxygen mix is a universal standard for pain and anxiety relief that has been used for decades throughout the world in labor and delivery, emergency room, pre-hospital (ambulance), and, in recent years, moved into private practice, medical centers, surgery centers, and birthing centers.

Pro-Nox offers short-term relief from anxiety and discomfort during aesthetic procedures. It starts working quickly, usually within seconds, and wears off just as fast so you can safely drive home after your appointment. Unlike sedation, we use Pro-Nox in Salinas to keep you awake and aware while helping you feel calm and more comfortable.

What Is Laughing Gas?

Nitrous oxide (N2O), which is commonly referred to as laughing gas, is a non-flammable gas that is colorless and has a sweet odor. The name “laughing gas” is derived from the intoxicating effects it produces after inhalation.

After inhalation, nitrous oxide gets absorbed into the bloodstream via the pulmonary vasculature. It does not combine with hemoglobin or any of the body’s tissues.

Nitrous oxide has negligible side effects and is very simple to use, since it has an entirely non-invasive delivery mechanism. This makes it an ideal anesthetic agent for use in medical procedures. Nitrous oxide is routinely used alongside other anesthetic agents in emergency medical procedures, dental procedures, and childbirth.

How Is Laughing Gas Used?

Nitrous oxide is an effective anesthetic agent generally mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a plastic mask that fits over the nose. Laughing gas can also be administered to children through a nasal hood, which does not cover their mouths.

Laughing gas helps patients remain calm before a procedure. It differs from general anesthetics in that it does not make a person fully unconscious.

The effects of the laughing gas can be felt within a few minutes, and these feelings usually accompany it:

• Happiness
• Light-headedness
• Mild euphoria
• Relaxation
