RhinAer Treatment in North Richland Hills
If you suffer from chronic rhinitis — persistent nasal congestion, runny nose, and postnasal drip that hasn’t responded adequately to medications — RhinAer® may offer lasting relief. North Hills ENT in North Richland Hills offers this innovative, minimally invasive in-office procedure.
What Is RhinAer?
RhinAer is an FDA-cleared, temperature-controlled radiofrequency treatment for chronic rhinitis. Using a specialized stylus introduced through the nose (no incisions), the device delivers precisely controlled thermal energy to reduce the activity of the posterior nasal nerve — a key driver of nasal congestion and drainage in chronic rhinitis. The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes and is performed in-office under local anesthesia.
What Is Chronic Rhinitis?
Chronic rhinitis is persistent inflammation of the nasal lining lasting 12 weeks or longer. It may be allergic (driven by IgE-mediated sensitivity) or non-allergic (vasomotor rhinitis — driven by nerve overactivity in response to environmental triggers like weather changes, strong odors, humidity, and exercise).
Symptoms RhinAer Addresses
- Persistent nasal congestion
- Chronic runny nose (anterior and/or posterior drainage)
- Postnasal drip

Who Is a Candidate?

What to Expect
The procedure is well tolerated with topical and injected local anesthesia. Most patients resume normal activities the same day. Some temporary nasal congestion or mild discomfort is expected for a few days. Most patients notice meaningful improvement within 2–4 weeks as healing progresses.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical studies show that RhinAer treatment results in significant, durable improvement in nasal congestion, rhinorrhea (runny nose), and postnasal drip, with benefits maintained at 24-month follow-up.
