Tired of the Constant Runny Nose and Congestion?
If sprays and antihistamines aren't cutting it, you may have chronic rhinitis. RhinAer® is a non-invasive, in-office treatment that targets the cause, so you can breathe freely without daily medication.
The symptoms that just won't quit
Chronic rhinitis means months of nasal symptoms that sprays and pills only partly control. If two or more of these describe your day, an evaluation is worth it.

What Is RhinAer®?
RhinAer is a non-invasive, in-office treatment that targets the root cause of chronic rhinitis, not just the symptoms. It uses gentle, controlled heat energy (radiofrequency) on the posterior nasal nerve: the nerve that tells your nose to run. Calming that nerve eases the runny nose, congestion, and drip.
Everything happens through your nostrils, using local numbing medicine. No incisions and no general anesthesia. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
