What is nasal obstruction?

Many people with nasal obstruction experience difficulty breathing through their nose, habitual snoring, interrupted sleep and fatigue.

Nasal obstruction is often caused by anatomical blockage in the nose, hindering airflow. As a result, you may feel congested or “stuffy”. Home remedies and medications may offer temporary relief. It’s only when your nasal airway is opened that you can expect to find real, lasting relief.

Common symptoms of nasal obstruction:

Breathe better. Live better.

The VivAer treatment is clinically shown to provide high satisfaction and lasting relief.¹ Patients typically return to normal daily activity the same day.*

  • 97% of patients experienced significant improvement in nasal breathing¹
  • 94% of patients improved their ability to get enough air through their nose during exercise or exertion2
  • 89% of patients reported getting a better night’s sleep2

Am I a candidate for the VivAer® treatment?

To find out, take these two simple tests.

Cottle’s Maneuver

Step 1. Place two fingertips on your cheeks, on each side of your nose.
Step 2. Gently press and pull outward to further open your nasal passage. While holding, breathe through your nose.

Did the Cottle’s maneuver help you breathe better? If so, you may be a candidate.

Lasting Relief is Possible.

VivAer Treatment

If you regularly experience difficulty breathing through your nose and nothing seems to help, you may have nasal obstruction. Until now, finding a long-term solution often meant surgery. At America Sinus Institute we can offer you lasting relief by performing a non-invasive VivAer Treatment to open your nasal airway.

Request a Consultation

What is VivAer Treatment?

The VivAer Treatment is a non-invasive, in-office treatment for patients suffering from nasal obstruction with difficulty breathing through the nose. This procedure reshapes the nasal valve area with low temperature radio-frequency energy. It is highly recommended in patients with obvious anatomical obstruction apprehensive about formal surgery in the operating room. This is done in-office and takes approximately 15 minutes or less.

Common Symptoms of Nasal Obstructions:

  • Trouble breathing through your nose
  • Nasal congestion
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Difficulty breathing during physical exertion

Many people with nasal obstruction experience difficulty breathing through their nose, habitual snoring, interrupted sleep and fatigue.

Nasal obstruction is often caused by anatomical blockage in the nose, hindering airflow. As a result, you may feel congested or “stuffy”. Home remedies and medications may offer temporary relief. It’s only when your nasal airway is opened that you can expect to find real, lasting relief.

2
