RhinAer® represents a breakthrough FDA-approved solution for Washington DC area patients suffering from chronic rhinitis—a persistent condition marked by constant nasal drainage, congestion, and post-nasal drip. For many, traditional treatments fail to provide relief, but RhinAer® offers a lasting, non-surgical solution performed comfortably in-office.
Chronic rhinitis affects quality of life, making it difficult to sleep, concentrate, or enjoy daily activities. Dr. Mostafa Ahmed, MD, FACS, a board-certified ENT surgeon and RhinAer® Center of Excellence provider, performs this innovative treatment at our Silver Spring and Gaithersburg offices for patients across the Washington DC metro area.
With over 1,500 sinus and nasal procedures completed and extensive military medical leadership, Dr. Ahmed brings unmatched expertise in resolving long-standing nasal conditions using the latest minimally invasive techniques.
Chronic rhinitis is defined by ongoing nasal inflammation that triggers excessive mucus production and congestion—regardless of season, allergens, or infection. Unlike temporary nasal symptoms, chronic rhinitis is a structural and neurological issue that disrupts sleep, focus, and overall health.
Common symptoms include:Initial treatment often includes steroid sprays, antihistamines, decongestants, or sinus rinses. In some cases, surgery like Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is performed to remove obstructions.
However, these options may not resolve the root cause: overstimulation of the posterior nasal nerve, which regulates mucus secretion. If this nerve remains overactive, symptoms persist despite treatment.
RhinAer® directly targets these overactive nerves to reduce hyperactivity and inflammation—providing patients with relief when other treatments fail.
RhinAer® is a non-invasive, in-office procedure that uses low-temperature radiofrequency energy to gently disrupt the posterior nasal nerves. This reduces nerve signals that trigger chronic mucus production and swelling.
Key benefits include:Clinical studies show that 88% of patients experience a significant reduction in symptoms. Dr. Ahmed’s technique and comprehensive follow-up care help ensure optimal recovery and long-term success.
