Am I a Candidate for Clarifix?

Living with a constant stuffy nose means you’ve likely tried every treatment under the sun. Over-the-counter decongestants? You’re probably overusing them at this point. Your grandparents’ secret home remedies? You’ve tried them all, too.

You’re likely reading this blog because everything you’ve tried until now only provides temporary relief. Most people struggling with chronic nasal congestion have chronic rhinitis, which causes constant inflammation in the nose, leading to congestion, runny nose, and sinus pressure.  

ClariFix is an innovative, minimally invasive treatment designed to manage symptoms of chronic rhinitis by treating the underlying causes. It’s a long-term fix for chronic nasal congestion, especially for people who haven’t responded to other treatments. 

Mani Zadeh, MD, a board-certified ear, nose, and throat specialist, has extensive experience treating nasal and sinus-related conditions and is best positioned to administer this treatment in Los Angeles, California. 

Here’s everything you need to know about the ClariFix procedure, how it works, and whether it might be the right fit for you.

What is chronic rhinitis?

Chronic rhinitis is a condition that causes persistent inflammation in your nasal passages, bringing on symptoms like:

• Constant or frequent congestion
• Runny nose without an apparent cause, like allergies
• Postnasal drip
• Throat irritation or cough
• Sneezing and itching in some cases

Various factors can trigger chronic rhinitis, including allergens, environmental irritants, temperature changes, or even certain foods. However, the underlying cause in many cases is an overactive nerve response in the nasal passages. 

When these nerves are overstimulated, your body produces excess mucus, and the nasal lining becomes inflamed. ClariFix targets these nerves directly, resulting in more effective and long-term relief than nasal sprays or decongestants.

How does ClariFix work?

Unlike over-the-counter treatments that only manage congestion symptoms, ClariFix, which is FDA-approved, uses cryotherapy or cold therapy to freeze the overactive nerves. Cooling these nerves reduces the signals they send to your brain, decreasing mucus production and inflammation.

ClariFix is quick and minimally invasive, so you can return to most of your regular activities right after the procedure. As you adjust to the treatment, you’ll notice a significant improvement in your symptoms within a few weeks.

Are you a candidate for ClariFix?

ClariFix treats chronic rhinitis. If you’ve have this condition or suspect you might, talk to Dr. Zadeh about ClariFix.

ClariFix doesn’t resolve every case of chronic nasal congestion, but it might fix yours if you haven’t has success with allergy medications, nasal sprays, humidifiers, or home remedies.

Seasonal allergies come and go, but if you’re dealing with year-round nasal discomfort, it’s a sign that your rhinitis may be chronic rather than seasonal, requiring a longer-term solution. 

What to expect during a ClariFix procedure

The procedure is quick and comfortable, typically taking just a few minutes. While there’s no need for general anesthesia; Dr. Zadeh applies a local anesthetic to your nasal passages to ensure your comfort. 

Next, he inserts a thin device into your nasal cavity to freeze the overactive nerves and reduce their activity. Over time, this lessens your symptoms.

Because ClariFix is minimally invasive and requires no downtime, many people find it fits easily into their schedule, allowing them to return to their usual activities almost immediately. 

ClariFix is truly a game-changer for treating chronic rhinitis. Unlike most other treatments, it tackles the root cause, not just symptoms. Contact Dr. Zadeh’s office to schedule a consultation and find out if ClariFix is a good fit for you today.
