What is VivAer?

Nasal obstruction is often caused by an anatomical blockage in the nose, hindering airflow. As a result, you may feel congested or “stuffy.”

VivAer is a treatment that gently remodels the inside of your nose, allowing for better airflow, improved overall sleep quality, and lasting improved breathing.

VivAer is an effective, non-invasive procedure that can be performed in your doctor's office to open your nasal airway and provide lasting relief from nasal obstruction. VivAer has been used on over 20,000 patients; it can be done safely in the office with little to no downtime from normal activities.

In a two-year clinical study, 97% of patients experienced significant improvement in nasal breathing with VivAer.¹

"The sleep alone was incredible after the VivAer®. My breathing has improved dramatically. I have more energy. I am more awake in the morning. I’m more focused in the morning when I’m working out. Breathing is easier. I have more air in my lungs... It was a great experience for my entire physical and mental health."
