Q&A
How does MATRX conscious sedation work?
How is it different from general (sleep) anesthesia?
MATRX conscious sedation lowers tension and discomfort without putting you to sleep. You stay conscious and breathe on your own, and can talk with the medical team during treatment.
How does it work?
You inhale a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide through the nose. The ratio is adjusted step by step while watching your response, reaching only the level of sedation needed.
Which treatments can it be used with?
It can be used with lasers, lifting and injection treatments that cause significant pain or tension. Suitability is decided after checking the treatment type and expected pain.
Can I go back to daily life right after?
After treatment, nitrous oxide is stopped and oxygen is supplied while your recovery is checked. You go home once the medical team confirms recovery; please follow their guidance about driving that day.
What is checked beforehand?
We check your medical history, medication and previous anesthesia or sedation experience to decide whether it is suitable. Please be sure to share any relevant details during consultation.
Will I lose consciousness completely?
No. MATRX sedation lowers tension and anxiety while you stay conscious, so you can respond to simple instructions during treatment. It is different from sleep anesthesia.
Will I feel no pain at all with sedation?
Sedation helps reduce tension and discomfort but does not eliminate pain completely. When needed, numbing cream or local anesthesia is added and pain management is planned for each treatment.
Can anyone receive it?
Most people can, but it may not be suitable during pregnancy or with certain respiratory or ear conditions. We check your medical history during consultation to decide.
The number of sessions, duration of results and recovery time vary depending on individual skin condition. Details will be explained after consultation.
