A New Method in Allergic Rhinitis Treatment
The most advanced technological approach in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, a non-microbial inflammation of the nasal mucosa, is Rhinolight. Rhinolight utilizes high-intensity light with a specific composition, making it a form of phototherapy.
Phototherapy is applied in brief, pain-free sessions lasting just a few minutes. Positive effects are often observed after one or two treatment sessions.
Symptoms such as itching, nasal discharge, congestion, and sneezing caused by allergic rhinitis can be significantly reduced or even eliminated through phototherapy. This treatment is effective for both seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis.
Who can benefit from inner-nose phototherapy?
Rhinolight phototherapy can be applied to all individuals with allergic rhinitis and is especially preferred for certain patient groups:
- Patients whose allergic rhinitis symptoms cannot be controlled with nasal sprays or oral allergy medications.
- Patients who cannot undergo standard treatments due to side effects or interactions with other medications.
- Patients who prefer to avoid long-term medication use.
Rhinolight treatment involves 6 to 8 sessions over a two-week period. The therapy uses a combination of specific light wavelengths, applied through the nostrils, without causing heat or pain. Since no permanent tissue damage occurs, Rhinolight is a safe option for long-term use in allergy patients.
How many treatment sessions are needed?
The number of sessions depends on the severity of symptoms. Generally, 2–3 sessions per week for two weeks are sufficient. For individuals with multiple allergies, additional sessions may be required, which should be discussed with a specialist. For perennial allergies, such as house dust mite allergies, 8 sessions over 6 weeks are recommended.
Can Rhinolight treatment result in complete recovery?
Patients who have undergone Rhinolight treatment for several years report a significant reduction in symptoms, and some even achieve full recovery. Clinical studies are ongoing to determine whether Rhinolight can provide permanent relief from symptoms.
Is the treatment painful?
Rhinolight is a globally recognized medical phototherapy procedure. In dermatology, it has long been known that light can modulate the immune system. Rhinolight reduces the nasal immune response to allergens, and the procedure itself is completely painless.
How long does it take for the treatment to be effective?
The time to see results varies by patient. Some notice improvements after the first session, while others may experience temporary worsening of symptoms, which quickly subsides. Most patients report noticeable improvements within two weeks.
Can Rhinolight treatment be performed during pregnancy?
Yes, it is recommended. Many medications are not suitable for breastfeeding mothers or are limited during pregnancy, making Rhinolight a safe and effective alternative.
