Laser Valveplasty

A minimally invasive procedure designed to improve nasal airflow by addressing narrowing at the nasal valve.

How Nasal Valve Narrowing Affects Airflow

The nasal valve is the narrowest portion of the nasal airway and plays a critical role in regulating airflow. When this area becomes narrowed or weakened, breathing through the nose may feel restricted.

Nasal valve narrowing can contribute to chronic nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, snoring, and difficulty breathing during physical activity.

When structural narrowing is confirmed as a primary cause of airflow restriction, targeted treatment may be considered.

What Is Laser Valveplasty & How It Works

Laser valveplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that uses controlled laser energy to reshape and support tissue within the nasal valve area.
The procedure:

Targets areas of internal valve narrowing
Uses precise laser technology to remodel tissue
Is typically performed in-office when appropriate
Requires local anesthesia
Aims to improve structural support and airflow
Does not alter the external appearance of the nose

By carefully reshaping tissue at the nasal valve, airflow may improve without traditional open surgery.

Who May Be Considered & What to Expect

Laser valveplasty may be considered for individuals who experience:

Chronic nasal obstruction
Difficulty breathing through the nose
Confirmed nasal valve narrowing
Airflow that improves when lifting the nostril or cheek
Snoring associated with nasal blockage
Limited improvement with medical therapy

What to expect:

In-office procedure when appropriate
Local anesthesia for comfort
Short recovery period
Follow-up visits to monitor airflow improvement

Treatment recommendations are based on anatomical findings and symptom severity.

Comprehensive Evaluation Before Treatment

Effective nasal valve treatment begins with confirming that valve narrowing is the primary source of obstruction.

Structural Assessment

Endoscopic examination identifies narrowing or weakness at the nasal valve.

Functional Airflow Evaluation

Breathing patterns are analyzed to determine the degree of airflow restriction.

Differentiation From Other Causes

Assessment ensures obstruction is not primarily caused by septal deviation, turbinate enlargement, or polyps.

Individualized Treatment Planning

Laser valveplasty is considered when tissue remodeling at the valve area may improve airflow.

A thorough evaluation ensures treatment is matched to the correct anatomical source of obstruction.
