Non-Surgical Relief of Nasal Blockage
Dealing with nasal blockages traditionally required surgical interventions or ongoing medication. However, Houston ENT & Allergy now introduces a lasting remedy with the VivAer procedure.
Utilizing cool radiofrequency technology, VivAer delicately reshapes your nasal canal, enhancing air circulation. By pinpointing the root cause of the obstruction, VivAer has been medically proven to aid individuals in breathing more freely and elevating their overall well-being. The procedure takes place directly in our clinic, allowing most patients to resume regular routines immediately afterward.
How Does VivAer® Work?
Millions of individuals struggle with nasal airway obstruction that limits their airflow through their nose. Your only treatment options, up until now, were breathing strips and medicine which provided only temporary relief and surgery which is painful, invasive and takes a long time to recover from. Today, however, there’s the Vivaer Airway Remodeling procedure your doctor can perform right in their office to help you breathe better.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does VivAer work?
Nasal obstruction is caused by an anatomical narrowing or blockage in the nasal airway that can hinder airflow and make it feel difficult to breathe through your nose.
Using low-temperature radiofrequency technology, VivAer gently remodels the nasal passage, precisely targeting the narrowing or blockage, to improve airflow. The treatment has minimal discomfort, and once it’s finished, you can typically get right back to your normal activities.
