What is RhinAer®?
RhinAer is ideal for patients who continue to suffer from runny noses and congestion despite nasal sprays, allergy
shots, and pills. In under 60 seconds and without any incisions or discomfort, RhinAer can permanently
control runny nose symptoms.
While Dr. Elangovan generally recommends this procedure for chronic runny nose, patients may also find RhinAer
relieves one or more of the following symptoms:
Why RhinAer?
- Ideal for patients seeking a permanent solution to runny nose issues
- Nasal congestion
- Great for those without relief on nasal sprays, allergy treatments, or oral medications
- No recovery or time off work
- Extremely safe
In this brief procedure the nose is initially numbed. An endoscope, a thin lighted camera, is placed
through the nostril. With this view, the RhinAer radiofrequency device is used to disrupt the overactive
nerve which causes congestion and runny nose.
With RhinAer recovery is almost immediate. A few patients may experience a mild brain freeze headache
for a short time. Post-procedural care includes a short course of nasal saline sprays. Patients can
return to work the same day.
Multiple clinical studies and patient experience have shown significant reduction in nasal congestion
and runny nose. One multi-center prospective study showed 96 percent of patients treated with RhinAer
reported an improvement in their rhinitis symptoms at 6 months. On average their symptoms improved by
61% with the most significant improvements being in runny nose and post-nasal drip.
Almost all insurances cover RhinAer. The cost of RhinAer will vary depending on the individualized
treatment plan recommended for you and your current health insurance coverage. To get a more accurate
assessment of how much RhinAer will cost, we encourage you to come in for a private consultation with
Dr. Elangovan. At Resolve ENT, we are also happy to offer financing that helps you more easily pay for
your treatments at your convenience.
If you are having trouble with a chronic runny nose and are interested in a minimally invasive long-term
solution, RhinAer® may be right for you. The best way to find out if you’re a good candidate for
