Don't Let a Runny, Stuffy Nose Run You Down!

If your nose is always runny, you may be one of the millions of people living with chronic rhinitis. Until now, treatment often meant managing symptoms with medications and sprays. For many patients, these symptoms may be caused by abnormal signals in the nose. Now, Dr. Melon can offer you lasting relief by performing the RhinAer procedure. It precisely targets the underlying cause of rhinitis with temperature-controlled radiofrequency technology to reduce mucus production to normal levels.

RhinAer is clinically demonstrated to provide lasting relief and improve quality of life. Patients typically return to normal activities on the same day.
