The VivAer® Stylus is a minimally invasive treatment for patients who suffer from nasal airway obstruction.Nasal obstruction is often caused by an anatomical blockage in the nose, hindering airflow.
The nasal valve area is the narrowest region of the nasal airway and is the most common site of nasal airway obstruction. It accounts for 2/3s of nasal resistance.
Symptoms of Nasal Obstruction
if you regularly experience difficulty breathing through your nose and nothing seems to help, you may have nasal obstruction. Patients who suffer from nasal airway obstruction often have one or more of the following symptoms
Trouble breathing through your nose
Habitual snoring
Nasal congestion or nasal stuffiness
Difficulty sleeping
Struggling to breathe during exercise
Home remedies and medications usually only offer temporary relief. Until now finding a long-term solution often meant surgery. Now your ENT doctor may be able to offer you lasting relief without surgery by performing the VivAer procedure to open your nasal airway..
The VivAer® Procedure
During the VivAer Procedure, your ENT doctor uses the VivAer Stylus for treating anterior anatomy to open the nasal airway. This comprehensive treatment allows your ENT doctor to
Remodel soft tissue, including cartilage in the nasal valve
Increase the radius of the nasal valve to improve breathing
Shrink submucosal tissue of the inferior turbinate
Reduce soft tissue obstruction on the septum
The procedure in no way alters patient aesthetics.

VivAer Safety and Ease of Use
A Vivaer® Nasal Airway Remodeling pivotal study was published in Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology. The prospective, multi-center, non-randomized US Pivotal Study was conducted to evaluate the treatment of nasal airway obstruction using the Vivaer® System. The study demonstrated outstanding patient outcomes. Drs. Jacobowitz, Ephrat, and Driver, the study investigators, concluded Vivaer® was safe and easy to use in the office. Patients treated with Vivaer® in the office demonstrated a marked improvement in nasal obstruction symptoms with high satisfaction scores.
Two-Year Results from VivAer Clinical Trial
Two-year results from a multicenter, prospective clinical trial found that fewer patients had nasal obstruction categorized as severe or extreme at 2 years. Furthermore, the results of a quality of life questionnaire revealed better sleep function and increased sense of wellbeing, along with decreased use of oral medication, nasal sprays, and nasal breathing strips.
