Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Age 18 or older
2. Willing and able to provide informed consent
3. Willing and able to comply with the study protocol
4. Seeking treatment for nasal obstruction
5. NOSE score of ≥ 60 at Baseline
6. Nasal valve is a primary or significant contributor to the subject's nasal obstruction as determined by the study investigator (based on clinical presentation, physical examination, nasal endoscopy, etc.) and the subject has a positive response to any of the following temporary measures (based on patient history or office exam):

* Use of external nasal dilator strips (e.g., Breathe Right Strips)
* Q-Tip test (manual intranasal lateralization)
* Use of nasal stents
* Cottle Maneuver (manual lateral retraction of the cheek)

Exclusion Criteria

1. Prior surgical treatment of the nasal valve
2. Rhinoplasty, septoplasty, inferior turbinate reduction or other surgical nasal procedures within the past three (3) months
3. Anatomy that requires an adjunctive surgical nasal procedure on the same day or 3 months after the Vivaer procedure
4. Medical conditions which in the opinion of the treating physician would predispose the subject to poor wound healing or increased surgical risk.
