Vivaer ®
A Non-Invasive Option for Nasal Airway Obstruction
Imagine Taking a Deep Breath—With No Problems
Millions of people suffer from nasal airway obstruction, which limits the airflow through the nose. Previously, your only options were medications or breathing strips that offered only temporary relief and/or surgeries that are invasive, painful and often have a long recovery period.
Vivaer Nasal Airway Remodeling non-invasive procedure that can be performed in our office, under local anesthesia and takes only minutes.

This technology gently and permanently reshapes the internal nasal valve region, where your cartilage on the side of your nose meets your septum, changing its shape to open up the valve and improve airflow.
