If you’re dealing with nasal obstruction that persists even with medication, our specialists at ENT Physicians can help. VivAer® Nasal Airway Remodeling is one way that you may be able to find relief. This innovative treatment gently reshapes your nose using low-temperature radiofrequency energy and can be performed at our clinic.
Do I Have a Nasal Obstruction?
Symptoms of this condition include difficulty breathing through your nose, congestion and poor sleep.
What Are the Benefits of VivAer®?
A two-year clinical study found that after VivAer:
- 97% of patients experienced significant improvement in nasal breathing.
- 94% of patients had an easier time getting air through their nose during exercise.
- 89% of patients got a better night’s sleep.
What Can I Expect During the Procedure?
VivAer® Nasal Airway Remodeling has minimal discomfort and downtime. Your doctor will thoroughly explain the procedure and answer any questions that may arise so you can feel confident about the process.
During the procedure, your provider will:
- Numb the inside of your nose.
- Insert a small wand into your nostril to target the area with the blockage.
- Use low-temperature radiofrequency from the wand to remove your nasal passage so airflow is improved.
How Long Does VivAer Last?
Studies have found that patients still experienced relief four years after the initial treatment.
If you’re dealing with persistent symptoms from a nasal obstruction, VivAer may be the ideal treatment plan for you if you wish to avoid more invasive surgery. Our team can help you take the next steps toward relief.
