The Clear Choice for Easier Breathing – Day and Night

If you struggle with nasal obstruction, you may feel like your only options are invasive surgery or a lifetime of medications. The good news? Lasting relief is possible with the VivAer treatment at South Atlanta ENT with South Atlanta ENT.

More Than Just Easier Breathing

VivAer has been shown to improve breathing, enhance sleep quality, and reduce snoring in patients with nasal airway obstruction.^1,2 For CPAP users, patients who had a VivAer procedure were more likely to stay consistent with CPAP therapy compared to those who had surgery or no treatment at all.³

How VivAer Works

VivAer uses low-temperature radiofrequency technology to gently remodel your nasal passage to improve airflow. By precisely targeting the source of your nasal blockage, VivAer has been clinically shown to help patients breathe better, sleep better, and enjoy a better quality of life. VivAer is an in-office procedure, and most patients return to their normal activities the same day.

Minimally-invasive

No incisions, minimal discomfort and can be performed in your doctor's office.

Minimal Downtime

Patients typically return to normal activities on the same day and may continue using CPAP throughout recovery.

Lasting Relief, Better Sleep

In a four-year clinical study, 96% of patients experienced significant improvement in nasal breathing and reported getting a better night's sleep.¹

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.
