Millions of people suffer from nasal airway obstruction, which\nmakes it difficult to breathe through the nose. Until now, your only options\nwere medications or breathing strips that offer temporary relief, and surgeries\nthat are invasive, painful, and often have a long recovery period.\nVivaer Nasal Airway Remodeling is a treatment that can be conveniently\nperformed at Hebert Medical Group to help you breathe more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nasal breathing is a very important function of human life and\nany obstruction in the nasal airway, also known as a congested or blocked nose,\ncan dramatically impact the quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nasal airway obstruction can lead to the following symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nasal airway obstruction has traditionally been\ntreated by ongoing home remedies or traditional nasal surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
External breathing strips,\ninternal nasal dilators and sprays are some of the ongoing home remedies you\nmight have tried. Home remedies never quite fix the problem nor offer lasting\nrelief from symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traditional nasal surgery has\nbeen the only course of treatment for advanced nasal problems. While it may be\neffective in many cases, it does not always address the problems of nasal\nblockage caused by narrow nasal valves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today there is a third option:\nVivaer Nasal Airway Remodeling. With the Vivaer treatment, the inside\nof your nose is gently reshaped using low-temperature radiofrequency energy\nwith lasting results, without affecting the outward appearance of your nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No Incisions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike other treatment options that require incisions, the Vivaer treatment utilizes controlled energy to targeted areas to shrink and reduce tissue inside the nose to improve breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike hospital outpatient procedures, the Vivaer treatment can be performed at ENT Specialists of Metairie\nunder local anesthesia in 30 minutes or less with minimal disruption to a\nperson\u2019s schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clinical studies have demonstrated 94 percent of patients\nbreathe better with associated significant improvements in nasal airflow, NOSE\nscores (Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation) and quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n
