VIVAER® and Nasal Airway Obstruction

Does your nose feel congested or blocked all the time?

You might have Nasal Airway Obstruction

Nasal Airway Obstruction can dramatically reduce your ability to get enough air when you breathe. So, what is Nasal Airway Obstruction, and what can you do about it? First, a little explanation.

The "Nasal Valve" is important

Your Nasal Valve is a triangular area just inside your nasal passage and has three main parts:

  • The Turbinates: These finger-like tissues warm, moisten and direct airflow within your nasal passage.
  • The Septum: This narrow ridge divides your two nostrils and is made up of bone and cartilage
  • The Lateral Nasal Wall: This is the tissue that forms the outer wall of your nose

If any one of these structures is enlarged, the airflow through the nasal valve will be restricted and cause symptoms of Nasal Airway Obstruction:

  • Persistent feeling of nasal blockage
  • Chronic nasal congestion or stuffiness
  • Difficulty breathing through your nose
  • Snoring and difficulty sleeping
  • Fatigue
  • Inability to get enough air during physical activity

How is Nasal Airway Obstruction treated?

THEN:  Temporary over-the-counter treatments have been available for some time, but they don’t always work, and are never a permanent fix. The more permanent, but also more severe, treatment has always been traditional nasal surgery. While this may offer you an alternative, it is usually painful, and requires a lengthy recovery period

NOW: A new, more satisfactory option for treating Nasal Airway Obstruction has become available. It’s called VIVAER® - a non-invasive and quick procedure performed in our office. VIVAER® uses radiofrequency energy to gently and permanently reshape your nasal valve area. This nasal airway remodeling procedure is so effective, that you can begin to see a noticeable improvement in your nasal breathing immediately after it’s completed
