RhinAer

Posterior Nasal Nerve Ablation

What is RhinAer?

Radiofrequency treatment of the posterior nasal nerve is a minimally invasive procedure that uses controlled heat energy to disrupt nerve function, reducing symptoms like nasal congestion, watery runny nose and postnasal drip. By precisely targeting the nerve, this technique helps alleviate these chronic nasal and sinus conditions with long-lasting relief.

Who is a good candidate for RhinAer?

Patients suffering from chronic rhinitis, runny nose, postnasal drip, or persistent nasal congestion that has not responded to traditional treatments such as oral medications or nasal sprays.

How is RhinAer performed?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. A specialized probe is inserted into the nasal cavity to precisely target the posterior nasal nerve. Controlled radiofrequency energy is applied to heat the area, thus disrupting posterior nasal nerve function and reducing symptoms.
