VivAer Doctor in Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Fort Lauderdale, FL
Do you regularly feel like you can’t breathe easily through your nose? Is it affecting your quality of sleep, or you find it hard to exercise? If so, you may have a common and often undiagnosed condition called nasal airway obstruction. VivAer is a minimally invasive procedure, done in Dr. Lapco’s office to help improve these symptoms.
Common Symptoms:
- Trouble breathing through your nose; stuffy nose feeling
- Difficulty sleeping, leading to fatigue
- Struggling to breathe through your nose during exercise
- Mouth breathing
How does VivAer work?
With VivAer, Dr. Lapco will first apply local anesthesia to numb the inside of your nose, then insert a small wand into your nostril to precisely target and treat the blockage. The tip of the wand uses low-temperature radiofrequency energy to gently remodel your nasal passage to improve airflow. The treatment has minimal discomfort and once it's finished, you can typically get right back to your normal daily activities.
