Your comfort and well-being are our top priorities. We understand that undergoing a cosmetic procedure can be both an exciting and nerve-wracking experience, so we offer advanced pain management options to keep you comfortable before, during, and after your procedure.
Our options include:
ProNox™: Immediate comfort at your control
ProNox is a patient-controlled analgesic gas delivery system that allows you to manage your comfort during minimally invasive procedures. It delivers a safe blend of 50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen (“laughing gas”) which takes effect almost immediately. ProNox is ideal for patients who desire quick relief from anxiety or discomfort without the lingering effects of sedation.
How it works
With ProNox, you hold the mouthpiece and breathe in the gas whenever you need to. Since the effects diminish within minutes, you can drive home and resume normal activities soon after your procedure without any residual drowsiness.
Procedures
- Injectables like Botox® and dermal filler
- Laser skin resurfacing
- Laser hair removal
- RF microneedling
- Earlobe repair
Pain pump: Continuous relief for a smooth recovery
A pain pump is a sophisticated device that continuously delivers a local anesthetic directly to the surgical site to significantly reduce pain in the days following your procedure. This option is particularly beneficial for more invasive surgeries where postoperative discomfort might be more pronounced.
How it works
A pain pump consists of a small, flexible tube that we insert at the surgical site during your procedure. This tube is connected to a balloon-like reservoir filled with a local anesthetic and is steadily released right where you need relief after surgery.
Consistent, localized pain control minimizes the need for oral pain medications, which can have unwanted side effects such as drowsiness or nausea. A pain pump can help you feel more comfortable during the initial healing phase.
Procedures

- Post weight loss body contouring, including body lift, thigh lift, and arm lift
“Dr. Haiavy and his team are amazing! From my initial consultation to my post-op appointments, Dr. Haiavy and his team took great care of all my needs and more. I had about a million questions and was very anxious about surgery, not only did were all my questions answered, the reassurance I felt was more than words can describe. I felt in good hands knowing Dr. Haiavy has extensive experience and his team really cares about every patient.”
Exparel: Extended pain relief with a single dose
Exparel is a long-acting anesthetic (often referred to as a “pain block” or “nerve block”) that is injected directly into the surgical site during your procedure and provides up to 72 hours of pain control after surgery. Exparel is particularly advantageous for patients who prefer to limit the use of narcotic or oral pain medications post-procedure.
How it works
Once injected, Exparel takes effect immediately and slowly releases the anesthetic for several days of extended pain relief. The opioid-free medication significantly reduces the need for additional pain medication post-surgery for a lower risk of side effects and a faster return to normal activities.
