Nasal Blockage and Congestion?

It’s not easy to enjoy life when your nose is constantly blocked. Good sleep is next to impossible; vigorous exercise is out of the question. Your attitude is affected, and it feels like your health is at stake. Now there’s a simple, one-time treatment that can open your nasal passages and restore free breathing without surgery. Nasal Airway Remodeling can be performed in minutes, in the office or outpatient center, as a non-invasive treatment. Nasal Airway Remodeling uses a low-temperature process that gently reshapes tissue of the nasal airway to help you breathe easier right away. Are you a candidate? Take the test below.

Try this Do-it-yourself diagnostic procedure for assessing nasal obstruction/congestion.

Place one or two fingertips on your cheeks on either side of your nose. Gently, press and pull outward. This temporarily opens the nasal valve. If doing this helps you inhale more easily through your nose, your nasal obstruction may be in your nasal valve, and you may be a candidate for Nasal Airway Remodeling.

Lose The Strips

Like thousands of others, you might depend on nasal strips to help you sleep better. But strips don’t stick well to oily skin, they can be painful to remove, they can irritate your skin, and – let’s be honest – you can’t wear one 24/7. Nasal Airway Remodeling may offer a permanent solution.

Better Sleep

Is your sleep disturbed by obstructed breathing, snoring or restlessness because you don’t breathe right? Are you considering surgery to improve the flow of air through your nose? Nasal Airway Remodeling can be performed in your doctor’s office, without surgery, and may provide long-term relief.

Compare Treatment Options

If you use oral decongestants, nose sprays, or adhesive breathing strips to relieve nasal congestion, you know you can buy these remedies without a prescription. You also know these are temporary solutions at best, at a cost of hundreds of dollars a year.

Nasal Surgery

Surgeries for deviated septum, nasal turbinate reduction and functional rhinoplasty are intended to relieve blocked nasal passages. All require general anesthesia plus extended recovery time. And they’re expensive: $1,000 – $2,500 for the insurance copay. Worse, up to half of patients report that their symptoms persist after surgery, and return to strips, sprays or pills for relief.

Nasal Airway Remodeling

Nasal Airway Remodeling is new, very simple and quick, uses only local anesthetic, and it’s very economical – one quick treatment, one fee of approximately $2,000 and you’re done. Reduce your dependency on strips, sprays, or costly surgery.
