New Procedures to Improve Nasal Symptoms at ENT Specialists
We are excited to share that our practice now offers two innovative, in-office treatments for nasal airway obstruction: VivAer and RhinAer. These minimally invasive, in-office procedures significantly improve nasal breathing which can result in substantial improvements to quality of life, as well as improvements to sleep quality. They can also treat symptoms of chronic nasal dripping and congestion.

Benefits of VivAer and RhinAer:
- Improved Nasal Airflow: Both treatments are designed to open the nasal passages, making it easier to breathe through your nose, even during sleep. This can lead to improved daytime nasal breathing, as well as a reduction in symptoms like snoring and poor sleep quality.
- Minimally invasive: These procedures are performed right in our office, under local anesthesia, offering you comfort and convenience without the need for extensive surgery or prolonged recovery time. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
- Quick Recovery: With no incisions involved, recovery is swift, minimizing downtime and enabling you to enjoy the benefits of improved breathing shortly after healing.
- Lasting Relief: Clinical studies have shown significant long-term improvements in nasal breathing. For instance, with VivAer, 97% of patients reported better nasal breathing two years post-treatment, while with RhinAer, 88% of patients report relief from chronic rhinitis symptoms.
- Enhanced Sleep Quality: By improving nasal obstruction, these treatments have been shown to lead to less difficulty falling asleep and better sleep throughout the night.
- RhinAer targets chronic rhinitis by delivering precise, temperature-controlled radiofrequency energy to reduce nerve signals that cause congestion, runny nose, and postnasal drainage, thus alleviating nasal obstruction.
- Availability: Both of these procedures are covered by Medicare and available on most commercial insurance plans.
If you've been struggling with nasal congestion, dripping nose, snoring, or have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, these treatments provide a new, minimally invasion option for significant improvement in symptoms. We invite you to schedule a consultation to discuss how VivAer or RhinAer might benefit you.
