Pro-Nox Pain Relief
Feeling
Anxious?
At Totality Medispa, we provide Pro-Nox for Charleston, SC, patients. If you get anxious or nervous before cosmetic treatments, it’s time to learn more about what Pro-Nox can do for you.
Pro-Nox is a way for patients to feel in control of their own anxiety and comfort during aesthetic treatments. This analgesic gas system delivers a mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen, and it is inhaled through a mouthpiece. Patients are awake and fully aware during treatments.
Along with being used in medispas around the world, the Pro-Nox system is used by ENTs, urologists, OB/GYNs, and more. It is a safe and trusted pain-control option.
Pro-Nox helps avoid the risks associated with general anesthesia, along with its after-effects, which can take some time to fade. It also lowers the likelihood of infection.
Frequently ASked
Questions
How Does Pro-Nox Work?
Pro-Nox is a 50/50 mix of oxygen and nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, is commonly used for dental procedures. Rather than being classified as an anesthetic, it is considered an analgesic.
Nitrous oxide affects receptors in the brain that are connected to the body’s pain response. It also impedes the neurotransmitters related to the anxiety response. As a result of these chemical actions, patients can relax during treatments.
Which Treatments Can Pro-Nox Be Used With?
Pro-Nox can be used with almost any medispa treatment. From needle-based treatments like dermal fillers and microneedling to chemical peels and CO2RE laser skin resurfacing, Pro-Nox is a great way to reduce stress and discomfort.
Is Pro-Nox Right for Me?
Most patients are eligible for Pro-Nox. If you experience anxiety at the sight of needles, this is an ideal option. If you are allergic to general anesthesia, Pro-Nox can be used as part of an alternative anesthetic plan.
If you are pregnant, Pro-Nox will not be a viable option for you, and we will need to discuss alternative anesthetic/analgesic options.
Using Pro-Nox for a Treatment Session
Pro-Nox can be used right before a treatment or during a treatment. The patient will place the Pro-Nox mouthpiece into their mouth. The patient can use the mouthpiece to breathe in the Pro-Nox whenever they’re feeling discomfort or anxiety.
Once a patient breathes in the Pro-Nox, it works immediately, providing instant relief. The patient continues to be awake, allowing them to be in full control of the Pro-Nox. Its effects last five to ten minutes, so when another dose is needed, it can be easily administered.
Pro-Nox’s degree of pain relief is not equivalent to that of local anesthesia. In cases where a local anesthetic like lidocaine is required, Pro-Nox can still be included to provide personalized control of anxiety and discomfort.
After a Treatment Session
Once the patient’s treatment session is over, the effects of Pro-Nox fade very quickly, usually within minutes. This ensures that patients are completely safe to drive afterwards without any after-effects.

Testimonials
Came to see my most favorite person, Dr. Nadel, and staff today! I started coming to see Dr. Nadel in 2022. She helped me immensely with my lips, which had been filled incorrectly for a long, long time! I come to her, only, because she is a wealth of knowledge and her bedside manner is spectacular! One of the nicest and most honest people I have ever met! Her staff is also incredible - so friendly and professional. Always go above and beyond to help. You won’t go wrong coming to see them. You will be thrilled! ❤️
I had an amazing experience at Totality Med Spa! I received Botox and filler from Sarah, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She made me feel so comfortable, and the results look incredibly natural—exactly what I was hoping for. The entire team was so sweet and professional, and the atmosphere of the spa was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend Totality Med Spa for anyone looking for top-notch care and beautiful results!
The best staff! Grace and Sarah made sure I was so comfortable and they gave such great service. The office is gorgeous!
This salon is fantastic. Maureen explained everything- she is knowledgeable, professional, and friendly! She truly went above and beyond and I’ll be back again asap!
I highly recommend Totality specifically the Downtown location! It is always so refreshing walking into a place filled with people that all truly care about you. The girls in the front specifically Christina are so welcoming and friendly. They greet you with smiles and make the paperwork/photos process and scheduling so easy. I always walk out feeling my best not only from the appointment but also from the refreshing conversation while im waiting or at check out. I’ve never experienced such a welcoming environment. Not only are the two girls in the front amazing but the whole staff go above and beyond. Bethany Smith is hands down the best. She is so knowledgeable and makes you feel so seen and heard. She takes the time to research and find the right products for your skin. I feel like a lot of people will just recommend products just to sell them BUT not Bethany. Every product she recommends she educates you on and why it can help but she never pressures you into buying it. The product regimen she put me on has saved my skin, I couldn’t be happier. Sarah M is also amazing. I came to her originally to get my some of my lip filler dissolved from a different Medspa and the way she educated me on where and why she was dissolving built my trust in her but also the results were beautiful. She also did my liquid rhinoplasty and just wow!! She takes the time to listen to your concerns and will give you honest answers on if you need more or less filler or Botox. She truly cares about her clients and how she can help them become more confident without overdoing it. These wonderful ladies have never made me feel like a number or random client, they go above and beyond to make sure I have the best experience.
Thank you Totality Medispa:))) I am so happy that I finally found this place and the products I have been looking for. I have been using Obagi Nu Derm RX products prescribed by a doctor many years back from UAE and I never needed a prescription after that. I have been buying them every year when I travel . This year I couldn’t travel and I thought that Obagi FX would control my pigmentation but it didn’t work. My melasma is back and my skin started to look so dull with an uneven skin tone which is making me look ugly :((. Canada doesn’t sell RX system . If I want to buy the product online then I need a prescription and to find an online physician …in short very disappointed. A big thank you to Totality Medispa that I could purchase online without any difficulties and everything was so easy and I received my order. Prompt , efficient and great service . Thank you so much and I highly recommend them .
