Fear of needles? You can still get injectables at LUX with this treatment option

Is your fear of needles keeping you from getting injectable treatments like BOTOX and lip fillers? We get it. Needles can be scary! Plenty of people have a true phobia of needles; it’s nothing to be ashamed of. And here at LUX ~ A Medical Spa, we want you to feel at ease.

So if you’ve been wanting to receive an injectable treatment at LUX ~ A Medical Spa and your fear of needles is holding you back, we have good news for you: LUX offers PRO-NOX™ to patients who receive injectable treatments from any of our Nurse Practitioners or our co-owners (board-certified dermatologist Carmen A. Traywick, M.D., and board-certified plastic surgeon, Frederick G. Weniger, M.D.).

PRO-NOX™ is an FDA-cleared analgesia to help minimize any stress, anxiety or pain you may have during an injectable treatment. It’s a 50/50 blend of Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen (otherwise known as laughing gas), that is delivered through a mouthpiece. The mouthpiece allows patients to self-administer the nitrous oxide, giving them 100% control. 

Here’s how it works:

  • While holding the mouthpiece, inhale when you’d like to breathe in the nitrous oxide. From Pro-Nox™: The gas is inhaled using interchangeable breathing circuits, ensuring complete protection against germs and other viral bacteria. With our additional PharmaMini filter, patients can receive a supplementary layer of up to 99.99% viral protection. 
  • The nitrous oxide will immediately take effect after you inhale. 
  • While the nitrous oxide will help you relax and relieve anxiety, it will not knock you out or make you physically impaired following treatment. It only takes a few minutes to wear off — meaning you’re safe to drive yourself home and resume your daily activities! 

Worried about safety?

PRO-NOX™ is completely safe to use. It’s not the same as anesthesia, so it doesn’t have any of those same side effects. While it may make you feel a little “tipsy,” “giggly,” or “bubbly,” most people are just extremely relaxed during treatment. Your voice will deepen a bit temporarily, and rarely patients report mild light-headedness. But most patients just report feeling extremely relaxed!

One of the reasons PRO-NOX™ is such a popular treatment option for non-invasive procedures is because it doesn’t have those same effects as anesthesia. You will not lose consciousness or feel the effects for more than 15 minutes after treatment. 

Pro-Nox™ is FDA cleared and the most trusted pain management solution for over 5,500 offices in the United States and Canada! 

In fact, Pro-Nox™ has even been used to relax mothers during labor & delivery! 

Do I need to use PRO-NOX™?

Injectables really aren’t painful! Most patients only report feeling a brief sting or pinch during treatment. All of our Nurse Practitioners are extremely skilled and have tons of experience. They also care about your comfort and want your time at LUX to be as relaxing as possible!

If you don’t have a fear of needles, you probably don’t need PRO-NOX™ during treatment. But if you’re nervous, the option is there! And since you self-administer PRO-NOX™, you can decide for yourself after the first injection if you’d like to use it.
