Introduction

Introduction to VivAer Treatment

Many Los Angeles area patients struggle with nasal airway obstruction even after trying sprays, medications, or allergy treatments that barely move the needle.

At AMora MD in Beverly Hills, Dr. Arash Moradzadeh offers VivAer as a modern, non-surgical option to improve nasal breathing. VivAer is designed to address internal nasal valve collapse, one of the most common and overlooked causes of breathing difficulties.

Dr. Moradzadeh brings a rare combination of expertise to this treatment. As a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon and ENT specialist, he understands both the functional and structural elements of nasal airflow. VivAer allows him to correct breathing issues at their source using controlled radiofrequency energy while preserving the nose’s natural appearance.

What is a VivAer Treatment?

VivAer is a non-invasive, in-office treatment that improves nasal breathing by reshaping the internal nasal valve. The internal nasal valve is the narrowest part of the nasal airway, and even a small structural weakness can significantly restrict airflow.

During VivAer treatment, a specialized handheld device delivers temperature-controlled radiofrequency energy to targeted areas inside the nose. This energy gently remodels the cartilage and surrounding tissues, reinforcing the nasal valve to keep it open during breathing.

VivAer is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to improve nasal breathing. Many patients experience lasting relief after a single treatment, making it an appealing alternative to traditional nasal surgery for the right candidate.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a VivAer Treatment?

The best candidates for VivAer are those who struggle with chronic nasal obstruction due to internal nasal valve collapse. You will often notice that your nasal passages feel narrow or collapse when you inhale deeply, and your symptoms worsen during exercise, at night, or when lying down.

VivAer is also ideal for those patients who have tried nasal sprays, allergy medications, or breathing strips without meaningful improvement. It is also a strong option for those who want to avoid surgery or are not ready for a more invasive procedure like septoplasty or nasal valve reconstruction.

Patients who have had prior nasal surgery but still experience breathing problems may also benefit from VivAer, as prior procedures may not fully address nasal valve weakness.

During a consultation at AMora MD, Dr. Moradzadeh performs a detailed nasal evaluation to determine whether nasal valve collapse is contributing to symptoms.

What Are the Benefits of a VivAer Treatment?

One of the biggest advantages of VivAer is improved nasal airflow. Patients often describe breathing as feeling easier, deeper, and more natural, particularly during exercise, sleep, and daily activities.

Another major benefit is that VivAer is non-surgical. There are no incisions, no scars, and no need for general anesthesia. The treatment is performed in the office under local anesthesia, significantly reducing both risk and recovery time.

Finally, VivAer can significantly improve sleep quality. Better nasal airflow often leads to less mouth breathing, reduced snoring, and more restful sleep.

What’s the First Step?

The first step toward VivAer treatment is a personalized consultation at AMora MD in Beverly Hills. During this visit, Dr. Moradzadeh takes the time to understand your symptoms, medical history, and how nasal breathing issues are affecting your daily life.

A comprehensive nasal examination is performed to assess airflow, internal valve function, and overall nasal anatomy. In many cases, simple in-office tests can help confirm whether nasal valve collapse is the primary cause of obstruction.

Dr. Moradzadeh will clearly explain your findings and discuss whether VivAer is the right solution or whether another treatment may be more appropriate. If VivAer is recommended, the procedure, recovery, and expected outcomes are reviewed in detail so you can make an informed decision.

What to Expect on the Day of VivAer Treatment

When you arrive, the inside of your nose is numbed with a topical anesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. No needles, no incisions, and no general anesthesia are needed.

Once you’re ready, Dr. Moradzadeh uses the VivAer device to apply controlled radiofrequency energy to specific areas inside the nasal valve. This gently reshapes the tissue that contributes to nasal collapse while preserving normal nasal function.
