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 and sleep through the night.

Using low-temperature radiofrequency technology, VivAer gently remodels the nasal passage, precisely targeting the narrowing or blockage, to improve airflow. Improved airflow through the nose also helps reduce disrupted rest, snoring, and daytime fatigue. The treatment has minimal discomfort, and once it's finished, you can typically get right back to your normal activities.
