ClariFix@

What Is ClariFix@?

ClariFix® Cryotherapy is a safe, clinically proven and minimally invasive treatment that targets the source of your symptoms for lasting relief.

· Cryotherapy is safe

· Available in-office or operating room

· Minimal recovery time and post-treatment care for most patients

· May provide long-lasting symptom relief.

 

How Does ClariFix@ Cryotherapy Work?

The ClariFix@ Cryotherapy device goes straight to the source of the symptoms – the out-of-balance nerves. Using a minimally-invasive treatment called ‘cryotherapy’, the ClariFix@ device interrupts the signals from these nerves to reduce your runny, stuffy nose symptoms. When the cold temperature hits the out-of-balance nerves, the nerve signals are temporarily interrupted. The nerves are no longer telling the nose to drip, run and swell.

 

What to expect?

Most patients begin to see improvement between 1 to 2 weeks post treatment. Typically, an anesthetic is used to numb the inside of your nose. Then, the ClariFix@ device is placed in the back of the nose and the cold therapy is applied with the use of an endoscope. You may experience slight pressure, a cooling sensation in the nose and/or around the molars, or some discomfort during and/or after the treatment.

 

 

What’s recovery like?

Recovery times vary for each person but is usually quick and not very painful. In about 1 to 2 weeks, the new scar tissue in your nose should be completely healed. To reduce possible complications, it is important to follow the post-operative instructions which will be provided to you after surgery.

 

 

Are there side effects?

Side effects are rare and can be present for anywhere between 3 to 6 weeks after the procedure has been performed. Permanent symptoms extending past 6 weeks are very rare. These side effects include:

· pain

· bleeding

· swelling

· dryness (nose/eye)

· crusting

· infection

*There is always the rare possibility that the Clarifix@ procedure needs to be repeated at a later date.
