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, Northeast Georgia ENT 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does RhinAer work?

RhinAer uses a patented, temperature-controlled radiofrequency technology to precisely target the underlying causes of chronic rhinitis, providing long lasting symptom relief without needing a complex surgery. It treats the sources of both runny nose (rhinorrhea) and stuffy nose (congestion).

Treatment with RhinAer does not involve any cutting, freezing, or removal of nasal tissue. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort with no downtime, returning to normal activities immediately following treatment.*

What are the benefits of RhinAer?

Most patients begin to see improvement 2-6 weeks following treatment. In a multi-center clinical study, 88% of RhinAer patients experienced a significant reduction in their chronic rhinitis symptoms, including runny nose, congestion, and post-nasal drip.¹
