ClariFix®

The ClariFix cryotherapy device

How ClariFix treats the posterior nasal nerve

How It Happens

Step by Step

A quick walkthrough of what's actually going on, so the treatment makes sense too.

1
Numbing. A local anesthetic is applied inside the nose so the area is numb before treatment begins.
2
Probe placement. A small cryotherapy probe is positioned at the back of the nasal passage, near the posterior nasal nerve.
3
Cold applied. The probe delivers freezing cold temperature to that nerve for about 30 seconds on each side.
4
Nerve calmed. The cold treatment reduces the overactive nerve signals that have been driving your chronic runny nose and congestion.
5
You're done. The whole visit typically takes well under an hour, with no incisions and no stitches.

Signs to Watch For

Common Symptoms

A constant runny nose that hasn't responded to sprays or oral medication.
Chronic post-nasal drip that disrupts sleep or triggers throat clearing.
Nasal congestion that doesn't line up with a specific allergy trigger.
Symptoms that flare with weather, food, or strong smells rather than a clear allergen.

What It Is

ClariFix is an FDA-cleared device that uses cold temperature to calm the overactive nerves inside the nose responsible for chronic rhinitis symptoms. It's a well-established option for patients whose runny nose or congestion hasn't responded to medication.

What to Expect Afterward

Mild congestion or pressure for a few days is normal as the area heals. Most patients return to their normal routine the same day, with symptom improvement building over the following weeks.

Is It Right for You

ClariFix tends to be a good fit for patients whose chronic runny nose or post-nasal drip persists despite sprays or oral medication. We'll confirm whether it's the right next step during your visit.
