VivAer: A Non-Invasive Treatment for Nasal Obstruction
Do you regularly feel like you can’t breathe easily through your nose? Maybe it’s affecting your quality of sleep, or you find it hard to exercise. If so, you may have a common and often undiagnosed condition called nasal airway obstruction, or NAO. Colds come and go, but they’re over quickly. Today, more and more people suffer from a permanently “stuffy” nose. The cause is often an irritation of the mucous membrane in the nose – causing the nasal turbinates to become enlarged. This constriction may not go away on its own.
Those affected may experience difficulty breathing through the nose, nighttime snoring, a loss of smell and taste as well as an increased tendency toward headaches. And because the nasal mucosa is less able to perform its filtering function, sufferers are left more vulnerable to colds and infections.
Dry or impurity-laden air as well as – for those with allergies – pollen and household dust are often the culprits. Many people have great difficulty avoiding these triggers in their daily lives.
Good News!
The good news: Chronically enlarged nasal turbinates can be treated today with excellent results using state-of-the-art minimally invasive techniques.
The VivAer is a minimally invasive treatment option for the thermoablation of tissue, used (among other things) to treat chronically enlarged nasal turbinates. It is a proven, state-of-the-art, gentle procedure based on radiofrequency energy.
RhinAer® Treatment
Lasting relief is possible
Chronic rhinitis is persistent inflammation of the tissues lining the nose, resulting in symptoms such as a constant runny nose and often post-nasal drip, congestion, coughing, nasal itching, and sneezing. While symptoms may be related to allergies, symptoms from chronic rhinitis may occur all year.
This challenging condition can negatively impact your life in countless ways. And trying to find an effective treatment can be frustrating. Like many, you may manage your symptoms using medications and sprays. Unfortunately, these treatments only provide temporary relief. It’s only when the root cause of your rhinitis is addressed that you can expect to find real, lasting relief.
• Persistently runny nose
• Post-nasal drip
• Nasal congestion
• Itching and sneezing
If any or all of the symptoms listed above sound familiar, you may be one of the millions of people living with chronic rhinitis. Until now, treatment often meant managing symptoms with medications and sprays. For many patients, these symptoms may be caused by abnormalsignals in the nose. Now, your physician can offer you RhinAer to disrupt these signals and provide lasting relief. In a clinical study, patients treated with RhinAer experienced significant relief from chronic rhinitis symptoms. Patients typically return to normal activity on the same day.
