Vivaer Nasal Airway Remodeling

A non-surgical treatment designed to improve nasal airflow by reshaping areas of nasal narrowing.

How Nasal Airway Narrowing Affects Breathing

Nasal airway obstruction can occur when internal nasal structures narrow the airflow passage. In some individuals, the nasal valve area — the narrowest portion of the airway — may contribute to breathing difficulty even without major septal deviation.

When airflow is restricted, patients may experience chronic congestion, mouth breathing, snoring, and reduced exercise tolerance.

If structural narrowing is contributing to symptoms, targeted remodeling of the nasal airway may be considered.

What Is Vivaer & How It Works

Vivaer is a minimally invasive treatment that uses controlled radiofrequency energy to reshape internal nasal tissue contributing to airway narrowing.
The procedure:

Targets areas of internal nasal narrowing
Uses temperature-controlled radiofrequency energy
Is typically performed in-office when appropriate
Requires local anesthesia
Does not involve cutting or removing tissue
Does not alter the external appearance of the nose

By gently remodeling tissue inside the nasal airway, Vivaer aims to improve airflow and breathing comfort.

Who May Be Considered & What to Expect

Vivaer may be considered for individuals who experience:

Chronic nasal obstruction
Difficulty breathing through the nose
Nasal valve narrowing
Snoring related to restricted airflow
Limited improvement with nasal sprays
Structural narrowing without major septal deviation

What to expect:

In-office procedure
Local anesthesia for comfort
Minimal downtime
Gradual improvement as tissue remodeling occurs
Follow-up to monitor airflow improvement

Recommendations are based on structural assessment and symptom severity.

Comprehensive Evaluation Before Treatment

Effective nasal airway remodeling begins with confirming internal valve narrowing as the primary cause of obstruction.

Airflow Pattern Assessment

Breathing patterns are evaluated to determine areas of resistance within the nasal airway.

Structural Examination

Endoscopic evaluation helps identify narrowing at the nasal valve or other internal structures.

Differentiation From Septal Deviation

Assessment ensures that symptoms are not primarily caused by significant septal deviation requiring surgical correction.

Individualized Treatment Planning

Vivaer is considered when internal narrowing is contributing to airflow restriction without need for traditional surgery.

A structured evaluation ensures treatment is matched to the correct anatomical cause of obstruction.
