Rhinolight Treatment for Hay Fever

How does Rhinolight Treatment Work?

We use modern Rhinolight machines to shine a special high-intensity UV light into each nostril. Each treatment session takes just 2-3 minutes. The procedure for seasonal hay fever is conducted within 6 treatment sessions in 2 weeks to relieve the symptoms; for all year-round allergy, the procedure is completed in 8 treatment sessions over 6 weeks. 

Although no treatment can guarantee results, most people report alleviation of their symptoms within the first two weeks of UV light treatment with a Rhinolight machine.   

Once you have completed a full course of treatment over a month, you can schedule follow-up “booster” sessions every 2-3 months to maintain the effectiveness of the treatment.  

What are the benefits of Rhinolight phototherapy? 

UV therapy offers a number of benefits for people suffering from hay fever and other allergies including:

• Blocking histamine to prevent allergy and hay fever symptoms that impact the nose and the sinuses 
• Destroying some of the cells responsible for allergies (eosinophils and lymphocytes)
• Reducing the number of ECP and IL-5 in nasal secretions - they are amongst the main triggers of rhinitis and sinusitis

As the Rhinolight machine does not damage the nose or the sinuses and the procedure is completely pain-free, it’s a perfect solution for your seasonal hay fever relief and allergic rhinitis.
