Rhinolight® Phototherapy is a treatment of the nasal mucosa suitable for patients who suffer from allergic rhinitis (hay fever).
It is a “reliever” for allergic rhinitis and not a cure. Although, not considered a first line treatment, Rhinolight® is a non-drug option that is shining hope for many Allergy sufferers.
Phototherapy dampens the body’s immune response to inhaled allergens (such as pollens, moulds, animal dander and mites) and the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, by inhibiting the release of histamine (and other inflammatory markers) from the mast cells situated within the lining of the nose
Treatment results can last up to 12 months.
Side effects are minimal Some patients experience a dry, crusty nose during the course of their Rhinolight ® treatments, however this is only temporary and can be remedied by application of our Rhinolight® oil.
Results from studies show an improvement in allergy symptoms not requiring any medication for up to 12 months.
To date, there has been no reported long term side effects of this treatment nor any concerns with its safety. It is safe to use in pregnancy and in children 6 years and up.
Rhinolight® treatments start at 2 minutes and increase by small increments until 3 minutes per nostril is reached.
Your Doctor will discuss which treatment regime is most appropriate for your needs. However a standard regime will be to perform Rhinolight twice weekly.
Make an appointment to see our Doctors who will assess your suitability, perform, monitor and evaluate the treatments efficacy.
