At Hilinski Medspa, we are committed to providing the highest level of comfort during your cosmetic treatments. One of the ways we ensure a relaxing experience is by offering pain-free nitrous oxide sedation. Overseen by Dr. John Hilinski, a Harvard-trained, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, our goal is to make every procedure as comfortable and anxiety-free as possible, especially for those who may have concerns about discomfort or needles.
Dr. Hilinski, Nicole, and team are absolutely amazing! Dr. Hilinski is very knowledgeable, takes the time to thoroughly explain procedures, and has gone above and beyond with patient care during my procedure and throughout all of my follow-ups.
What is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas,” is a safe and effective sedative used to ease pain and anxiety during cosmetic procedures. It is a 50-50 mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen, which, when inhaled, creates a calming effect. Laughing gas has been widely used for decades in dental and medical procedures, known for its quick onset and safety.
At Hilinski Medspa, we use nitrous oxide to help patients relax during minimally invasive treatments such as Botox, injectable fillers, and laser procedures. Whether you’re concerned about discomfort or simply wish to have a more relaxed experience, nitrous oxide can be an excellent solution.
The Nitronox™ System
We utilize the Nitronox™ system for precise control of nitrous oxide doses, ensuring a safe and effective experience. This system delivers a 50-50 blend of nitrous oxide and oxygen, allowing patients to self-administer the gas for a more controlled and personalized experience. The Nitronox™ system is nearly identical to its competitor Pro-Noxâ„¢, and both systems have an excellent track record for patient safety and comfort.
How Nitrous Oxide Works
With the Nitronox™ system, the process is simple and straightforward. Patients self-administer the nitrous oxide through a handheld tube, inhaling the gas just before and during their procedure. As the gas takes effect, patients quickly feel relaxed and calm, helping reduce pain and anxiety associated with cosmetic treatments. The effects are short-lived, so once you stop inhaling the gas, it leaves your system within minutes. You will be alert and ready to drive home almost immediately after your treatment.
What Treatments Can I Get With Nitrous Oxide?
At Hilinski Medspa, nitrous oxide can be used to enhance comfort during a variety of cosmetic procedures, including:
If concerns about pain or anxiety have kept you from pursuing cosmetic treatments in the past, nitrous oxide may be the perfect solution to make your experience more enjoyable and stress-free.
