4 Benefits of VivAer® Nasal Airway Remodeling

4 Benefits of VivAer® Nasal Airway Remodeling

If you struggle with chronic nasal airway obstruction that makes it difficult to breathe through your nose, nasal remodeling with VivAer® might be the solution you've been looking for.

This innovative, nonsurgical procedure can enhance airflow and improve nasal breathing without invasive surgery.

Our team at Jacksonville ENT Surgery offers comprehensive care for ear, nose, and throat conditions that disrupt your life, including nasal airway obstruction (NAO). The first step in treating NAO is accurately diagnosing what’s causing the problem, which can range from allergies to chronic sinusitis to a collapsed nasal valve.

We’re committed to providing the most effective solution for your needs, including advanced therapies like VivAer. Here are four key benefits of choosing this innovative treatment for nasal airway obstruction.

Understanding NAO and nasal valve remodeling

If you’ve ever had a cold, you likely know what it’s like when temporary swelling in your nasal passages makes it hard to breathe through your nose. However, sinusitis, allergies, nasal polyps, and other chronic conditions can make nasal obstruction a long-term issue.

Symptoms include:

When medication and other conservative treatments don’t relieve your symptoms, your Jacksonville ENT specialist may recommend nasal airway remodeling to tackle the obstruction.

Four benefits of nasal airway remodeling with VivAer

The VivAer system uses radiofrequency energy to reshape and remodel inner nasal cartilage and the nasal valve, reducing obstruction and increasing airflow through the nose.  

The benefits of VivAer versus traditional surgery include:  

1. Nonsurgical and minimally invasive

Unlike traditional nasal surgeries that require incisions and lengthy recovery periods, VivAer is a nonsurgical procedure performed in our office.

Using a small, handheld device, your specialist uses radiofrequency energy to reshape the nasal valve area, improving airflow without cutting or removing tissue. This means less discomfort and a quicker return to daily activities.

2. Immediate and long-lasting results

Many patients experience significant improvement in their nasal breathing almost immediately after the procedure. The effects of VivAer are long-lasting, as the nasal tissues continue to remodel and strengthen over time.

Clinical studies have shown that patients report sustained benefits even years after the procedure.

3. Quick recovery with minimal downtime

One of the most appealing aspects of VivAer is the minimal recovery time. Most patients can resume their daily routine on the same day or within 24 hours.

There is no need for extensive postprocedure care, packing, or prolonged discomfort, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.

4. Improved quality of life

Better nasal airflow can have a profound impact on overall health and well-being. Patients who undergo VivAer treatment often experience improved sleep quality, reduced snoring, and increased energy levels due to enhanced oxygen intake.

Additionally, easier breathing can alleviate symptoms of nasal obstruction, such as headaches and sinus pressure.

Is VivAer right for you?

If you’ve been diagnosed with nasal valve collapse or have problems with chronic nasal congestion, VivAer could be an effective treatment option.
