Have no fear: Aesthetic treatments are now pain-free
By Beth Newcomb
Taking a dip in the Fountain of Youth might seem like a great idea, until you come face-to-face with the delivery system.
“Needles hurt,” remarks Dr. Laurel Matthews, owner of Dr. Laurel’s PRP Bar. “Many patients struggle with the injection part of aesthetic treatments. The pain is too much for them, or they’re afraid of needles. Others are allergic to the topical numbing cream we use for things like our Vivace Microneedling RF with PRP, or our Hair Regrow treatments.”
That’s why Pro-Nox, she notes, is the latest buzzword in aesthetic medicine.
“Pro-Nox is a combination of nitrous-oxide and oxygen,” she explains. “The patient can administer the gas during the treatment and forget about or not feel the procedure taking place. It’s really ideal for people who want injectables like Botox or fillers, or those who enjoy the dramatic results of microneedling or PRP injections. Within five minutes they’re back to normal and can drive themselves home.”
Dr. Laurel says Pro-Nox can be used during any painful aesthetic procedure and it’s available to anyone. You can add it on to your service for just $50.
The delivery of Pro-Nox is simple and sterile. A disposable hose with mouthpiece is used and discarded after each patient. There is no mask, so treatment is not impeded.
“The fear of pain and needles keeps some people from enjoying the aesthetic treatments they want, but with Pro-Nox they have nothing to worry about,” Dr. Laurel smiles.
“It’s safe, effective, FDA cleared and has no side effects. Pro-Nox is ideal for use during any of our non-invasive procedures.”
Dr. Laurel specializes in the use of platelet-rich plasma to transform the body. The O-Shot and P-Shot are for women and men, respectively, who struggle with sexual dysfunction. The Vampire Facelift incorporates PRP with facial fillers to help the body grow collagen, blood vessels and nerve endings. Dr. Laurel’s Hair Regrow features PRP injected over the course of three treatments to regrow hair.
Vivace Microneedling RF with PRP transforms the surface of skin and tightens it for a more youthful look. Other services include TruSculpt for eliminating unwanted fat, and Shockwave for men suffering from sexual dysfunction. Injectables like Botox and various fillers are very competitively priced. Dr. Laurel’s Uplift incorporates the use of surgical thread to lift skin and fill in lines without surgery.
