Comfort Measures
At NDA Medical Spa™, we believe that comfort is key to achieving optimal results during any procedure. Our comprehensive approach to patient comfort includes a variety of advanced measures designed to minimize discomfort, reduce anxiety, and make your experience as pleasant as possible.
To Make Your Appointment More Comfortable We Offer:
1. Pro-Nox™: Immediate Pain and Anxiety Relief
Pro-Nox™ is a nitrous oxide system that provides instant pain and anxiety relief during procedures. Unlike general anesthesia, Pro-Nox™ allows patients to remain fully alert and in control while experiencing a calming, pain-free treatment. This system delivers a 50/50 mixture of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oxygen, which is inhaled through a mouthpiece. The effects begin almost immediately, helping to relax patients and dull any pain sensations. Pro-Nox™ is an ideal option for those who may feel nervous or uncomfortable during their procedure, as the gas helps reduce anxiety, making treatments more tolerable. The effects wear off quickly once the gas is no longer administered, meaning you can go about your day without any lingering effects.
2. Numbing Cream for Topical Comfort
Topical numbing creams are a common and effective way to minimize discomfort during cosmetic procedures, particularly those involving needles or minor skin disruptions. At NDA Medical Spa™, we use high-quality, medical-grade numbing creams to numb the surface of the skin before treatments like injectables, microneedling, or laser procedures. These creams typically contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that temporarily numbs the area to reduce pain or discomfort during the procedure. The numbing effect allows you to feel relaxed and at ease while still achieving optimal results from your treatment. The application process is simple, and the cream typically begins to work within 15-30 minutes, depending on the procedure.
3. Lidocaine Nerve Block: Advanced Pain Management
Lidocaine nerve blocks are a more advanced option for pain management during certain procedures that might cause deeper or more intense discomfort. A nerve block involves injecting a small amount of lidocaine, a local anesthetic, directly into the nerve areas near the treatment site. By temporarily blocking the nerve signals, this technique ensures that patients experience little to no pain during their procedure. Lidocaine nerve blocks are often used for more invasive treatments such as sclerotherapy (for vein treatments) or injectables that need to be administered deeper into the skin. The numbing effect typically lasts for several hours, making these procedures more comfortable and tolerable.
4. Zimmer Chiller: Cool Comfort for Your Skin
The Zimmer Chiller is an innovative cooling device that delivers a continuous stream of cold air to the treatment area, which helps reduce discomfort, swelling, and redness during and after procedures. It works by cooling the skin surface, which can reduce the sensation of heat or burning that may arise from treatments like laser therapies. The cooling effect also minimizes the risk of irritation and can be especially soothing for patients with sensitive skin. The Zimmer Chiller is frequently used during laser treatments, such as hair removal or skin resurfacing, to provide instant comfort while enhancing the treatment experience. It is especially effective in reducing post-procedural redness or swelling, ensuring that patients feel more comfortable and experience faster recovery times.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How long will I feel the effects of Pro-Nox™?
The effects of Pro-Nox™ are felt immediately and begin to wear off as soon as you stop inhaling the gas. You will remain alert and aware throughout the procedure, and there will be no lingering effects once the treatment is complete.
2. Do I need to prepare for the numbing cream application?
No special preparation is required for numbing cream. We apply it to the treatment area and let it sit for 15-30 minutes to take effect. You may experience slight tingling or cooling sensations as it begins to work.
3. Is the lidocaine nerve block painful?
The lidocaine nerve block involves a small needle, but most patients report minimal discomfort. The numbing effect begins almost immediately, and the area will remain numb for hours, ensuring a pain-free treatment experience. Find out more
4. How does the Zimmer Chiller help with my treatment?
The Zimmer Chiller cools the skin during treatments that involve heat, such as laser therapies. It provides instant relief by lowering the temperature of the skin and minimizing discomfort, irritation, and post-treatment redness.
5. Will I experience side effects from these comfort measures?
The comfort measures used at NDA Medical Spa™ are generally safe with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience slight redness or irritation at the site of numbing cream or lidocaine application, but these effects are temporary and resolve quickly.
