It's time to breathe easy.

The non-invasive VivAer treatment can help if you persistently experience:

The Clear Choice for Clearing Nasal Blockage

If you have nasal obstruction, finding a long-term solution often meant invasive surgery or continued use of medications. Now Sunset ENT & Allergy can offer you significant, lasting relief with the VivAer treatment.

By precisely targeting the source of the nasal blockage, VivAer has been clinically demonstrated to help patients breathe better and improve their quality of life. This treatment is performed right in our office, and patients typically return to normal activities on the same day.

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.
