Treat Chronic Sinusitis
& Breathe Freely

ClariFix is a groundbreaking treatment for chronic rhinitis, characterized by persistent nasal congestion, runny nose, and post-nasal drip. Using cryotherapy technology, ClariFix targets the source of your discomfort: the nerves responsible for triggering excessive nasal secretions and congestion. This minimally invasive procedure involves the precise application of controlled cooling to the problematic nerves in your nasal passages. By gently numbing these nerves, ClariFix reduces their activity, resulting in a significant reduction in rhinitis symptoms. You can reclaim control over your nasal health and breathe freely again.

ClariFix FAQs

What is chronic rhinitis, and how does it affect me?

Chronic rhinitis is characterized by persistent inflammation of the nasal passages, leading to nasal congestion, runny nose, and post-nasal drip. These symptoms can impact your quality of life, making it difficult to breathe comfortably and causing discomfort throughout the day.

How does ClariFix treat chronic rhinitis?

ClariFix uses cryotherapy to target the posterior nasal nerves, which play a crucial role in regulating nasal secretions and congestion. During the procedure, a specialized device is inserted into the nasal passages to deliver precisely controlled cooling to these nerves. This cooling process interrupts nerve signals, reducing their activity and alleviating chronic rhinitis symptoms. By disrupting the neural pathways responsible for nasal congestion, ClariFix provides a long-lasting solution for patients seeking relief from persistent rhinitis.

Is ClariFix a surgical procedure?

No, ClariFix is not a surgical procedure. It is a minimally invasive treatment that can be performed in Dr. Sansoni’s office under local anesthesia. ClariFix does not require any incisions or removal of tissue, resulting in minimal discomfort and a quick recovery time.

How long does it take to see results after ClariFix treatment?

Many patients experience significant improvement in their symptoms within a few weeks after undergoing ClariFix. However, it’s essential to note that individual responses may vary. Some patients may require additional time to achieve maximum benefit from the procedure.

Are there any side effects or risks associated with ClariFix?

As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects associated with ClariFix. These may include temporary discomfort or irritation in the treated area, minor bleeding, or nasal congestion. However, these side effects are typically mild and resolve on their own within a few days after the procedure.

How long does the ClariFix procedure take, and what is the recovery like?

The ClariFix procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete and can be performed in Dr. Sansoni’s office. After the treatment, you may experience some mild discomfort or congestion in your nose, but this should improve within a few days. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Will I need to undergo repeat treatments with ClariFix?

In most cases, ClariFix provides long-lasting relief from chronic rhinitis symptoms without the need for repeat treatments. However, individual responses may vary, and some patients may require additional treatments to maintain optimal results. Dr. Sansoni will discuss your treatment plan and follow-up care during your consultation.
