Rhinaer Glendale
Chronic rhinitis is a common, but underdiagnosed condition. Patients with chronic rhinitis commonly experience runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, or nasal discharge draining into the back of your throat (post nasal drip). This may cause coughing, sneezing or the feeling of frequently needing to “clear your throat.”
Rhinaer is a safe, minimally invasive procedure performed in the office without general anesthesia to treat chronic rhinitis. If you think you have chronic rhinitis, please call our office to make an appointment to see one of our providers who can accurately diagnose and treat your nasal symptoms!
Why Choose RhinAer® for Chronic Rhinitis?
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Your doctor will review your medical history, allergy background, and nasal symptoms in detail.
- A nasal endoscopy (a small camera used to look inside the nose) is performed to pinpoint the nerves contributing to your symptoms.
- Using the RhinAer® device, gentle energy is applied to those nerves to reduce their overactivity. The entire process is completed in the comfort of our Glendale office, typically in under 30 minutes.
- The procedure requires only local anesthesia, no sedation or hospital stay and most patients return to normal activities within a day.

FAQs
How is chronic rhinitis different from allergies or sinus infections?
Chronic rhinitis causes ongoing nasal symptoms without active infection and may persist even when allergy tests are negative or medications stop working.
Why do my nasal symptoms continue even with daily sprays or pills?
In many patients, symptoms are driven by overactive nasal nerves rather than inflammation alone, which medications cannot fully control.
What problem does RhinAer® specifically target?
RhinAer® treats the nerve pathways inside the nose that trigger excessive mucus production and congestion.
How is RhinAer® different from nasal sprays or allergy shots?
Unlike medications that require continuous use, RhinAer® directly reduces nerve signaling responsible for symptoms, offering longer-lasting relief.
Is RhinAer® considered surgery?
No. RhinAer® is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure that does not involve cutting tissue or removing bone.
Will RhinAer® affect my sense of smell or breathing?
No. The procedure is designed to preserve normal nasal function while reducing excess drainage and congestion.
How long does the RhinAer® procedure take?
Most procedures are completed in under 30 minutes, including preparation and local anesthesia.
What does the procedure feel like?
Patients typically feel mild pressure or warmth during treatment, but discomfort is minimal and short-lived.
Can RhinAer® treat post-nasal drip specifically?
Yes. RhinAer® is particularly effective for patients whose main complaint is constant throat clearing or mucus dripping down the throat.
How soon will I notice improvement after RhinAer®?
Some patients notice changes within weeks, while full benefits typically develop over two to three months as nerve activity decreases.
How long do the results of RhinAer® last?
Many patients experience long-term relief lasting years, though results may vary depending on individual nerve sensitivity.
Can RhinAer® be combined with other nasal procedures?
Yes. RhinAer® can be safely performed alongside other in-office treatments if needed.
Is RhinAer® safe for patients who cannot tolerate medications?
Yes. It is an excellent option for patients who experience side effects from nasal sprays or oral medications.
Who should not undergo RhinAer® treatment?
Patients with active nasal infections, severe structural nasal problems, or certain medical conditions may need alternative treatments.
How do I know if RhinAer® is the right treatment for me?
A thorough nasal evaluation and endoscopy by your ENT specialist will determine whether nerve overactivity is the cause of your symptoms.
