RhinAer for Chronic Runny & Stuffy Nose — Lasting Relief, No Surgery

RhinAer is a minimally invasive, FDA-cleared procedure that delivers temperature-controlled radiofrequency energy to the posterior nasal nerve to calm the overactive signals behind chronic rhinitis — the persistent runny nose, congestion, and post-nasal drip that don't respond to sprays. Performed in-office in about 20-30 minutes with no cutting and no packing, RhinAer offers lasting relief with minimal downtime. Our practice is home to the highest-volume RhinAer provider in Massachusetts.

What to Expect

Here's what happens during your visit, so you can come prepared and feel at ease.

During your RhinAer procedure, your physician numbs the inside of the nose with topical and local anesthesia. Using a small handpiece guided by endoscopic visualization, precise temperature-controlled radiofrequency energy is applied to the posterior nasal nerve to calm the signals that drive a chronic runny and stuffy nose. The entire procedure takes approximately 20-30 minutes in the office. You may have mild congestion or crusting for a few days, managed with saline spray. Most patients notice a meaningful reduction in runny nose, congestion, and post-nasal drip over the following weeks, with results that are clinically shown to last.
