What is RhinAer?

RhinAer is a simple, non-surgical treatment for people who suffer from chronic rhinitis—a condition that causes ongoing runny nose, stuffiness, and post-nasal drip. This procedure targets the overactive nerves inside the nose, sending a signal to your system to produce too much mucus. By calming these nerves, RhinAer helps reduce the amount of mucus, providing long-term relief.

What is Chronic Rhinitis?

More than 30 million Americans experience non-allergic rhinitis, a condition marked by persistent nasal symptoms that medications and sprays often fail to control. Living with these symptoms can significantly impact your daily life. Like many others, you may have tried managing your symptoms with medications, but these treatments often bring only temporary relief. For lasting relief, it’s essential to address the root cause.

Symptoms of Chronic Rhinitis

Chronic rhinitis leads to a constant runny nose, often accompanied by post-nasal drip, nasal congestion, coughing, itching, and sneezing. While these symptoms may resemble allergies, chronic rhinitis can persist year-round, making it difficult to manage without proper treatment.

What is the RhinAer Procedure?

The RhinAer procedure in the office usually takes less than an hour. After the area is numbed with local anesthesia, a small device is inserted, which emits gentle radiofrequency energy. This energy treats the overactive nasal nerves that cause excessive mucus production. The procedure takes little time and involves minimal, if any, discomfort.

What Are the Benefits of RhinAer?

The RhinAer procedure offers several key benefits for patients, including:

  • Non-invasive Treatment: RhinAer is a minimally invasive procedure with no incisions, causing minimal discomfort. It is performed in the office.

  • Quick Recovery: Most patients can return to normal activities on the same day as the procedure.
  • Long-lasting Relief: RhinAer has been clinically proven to provide lasting relief from symptoms like runny nose, post-nasal drip, and chronic cough, with 96% of patients experiencing symptom improvement.

What is the Recovery Like to Experience?

Recovery from RhinAer is straightforward and convenient, making it an excellent option for many patients. Most individuals are able to return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure, experiencing minimal disruption to their daily routines. You may notice mild nasal discomfort, congestion, or a slight sensitivity for a few days following the treatment, but these symptoms tend to fade quickly on their own. To ensure the best results and a smooth recovery process, your ENT specialist will provide you with detailed post-procedure instructions and any recommendations to help you feel comfortable during the healing period.
