VIVAER

What is Vivaer?

Vivaer is an in-office, minimally invasive procedure that uses temperature-controlled radiofrequency energy to reduce enlarged inferior turbinates, septal swell bodies and repair nasal valve abnormalities. Treating these areas increases airflow through the nasal airway and relieves chronic nasal obstruction.

Who is a good candidate for Vivaer?

Patients with chronic nasal obstruction due to enlarged inferior turbinates, enlarged swell bodies, or nasal valve abnormalities are great candidates for Vivaer.

How is Vivaer performed?

Vivaer is performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation in our office. A handheld disposable probe is used to deliver radiofrequency energy to heat the treated tissue. This causes collagen fibers to contract and tighten, shrinking the treated area.
