RhinAer®

RhinAer

If you deal with a constantly runny nose, persistent post-nasal drip, or nagging congestion that never seems to go away, you may be living with chronic rhinitis. It’s a condition that affects millions of people, and for many, it means years of relying on medications and sprays that only mask the symptoms. At Connecticut ENT Allergy & Sinus, we now offer RhinAer®, a minimally invasive, in-office treatment that that uses low-temperature radio frequency energy to target the root cause of chronic rhinitis and provide real, lasting relief.

Please contact Connecticut ENT Allergy & Sinus at either of our Waterbury offices (203) 578-4630 or (203) 574-3777 to schedule an appointment.

What is Chronic Rhinitis?

RhinAer® Treatment

Chronic rhinitis is persistent inflammation of the tissues lining the nose, resulting in symptoms such as a constant runny nose and often post-nasal drip, congestion, coughing, nasal itching, and sneezing. While symptoms may be related to allergies, symptoms from chronic rhinitis may occur all year. This challenging condition can negatively impact your life in countless ways. And trying to find an effective treatment can be frustrating. Like many, you may manage your symptoms using medications and sprays. Unfortunately, these treatments only provide temporary relief. It’s only when the root cause of your rhinitis is addressed that you can expect to find real, lasting relief.

Symptoms of chronic rhinitis include:

  • Persistently runny nose
  • Post-nasal drip
  • Nasal congestion
  • Itching and sneezing

Lasting relief is possible. If any or all of the symptoms listed above sound familiar, 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, your physician can offer you RhinAer® to disrupt these signals and provide lasting relief. In a clinical study, patients treated with RhinAer® experienced significant relief from chronic rhinitis symptoms.1

How it Works

  • Nerve Targeting: A slim, flexible wand is guided into the nostril to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy to the affected area.
  • Signal Disruption: This energy quiets the hyperactive posterior nasal nerves that drive excess mucus and inflammation.
  • Tissue Shrinking: It also gently reduces enlarged nasal structures (turbinates) to widen the airway and restore easier breathing.

Patients typically return to normal activity on the same day.*

  • Lasting Relief: Provides lasting relief of symptoms, including runny nose, post-nasal drip, and chronic cough.¹
  • Non-invasive solution: Minimal discomfort, no incisions, and can be performed in our office.
  • Live better: In a clinical study, patients reported significant improvements in their symptoms and quality of life.¹
