What is the Celon method?

Celon is a treatment option using radiofrequency that shrinks chronically enlarged nasal turbinates to restore airflow and normal breathing. It is a proven, state-of-the-art, highly efficient procedure with excellent results and post procedure recovery time. You can feel a marked difference after just a few days.

How long does a turbinate reduction take to heal?

For less invasive turbinate reductions, recovery is usually quick and not very painful. In about three weeks, the new scar tissue in your nose should be completely healed. For the more invasive type of turbinate reduction surgery, recovery takes three to six months.

Can radiofrequency cause Empty Nose Syndrome?

Atrophic rhinitis and empty-nose syndrome are chronic conditions that can arise as complications of nasal surgery (particularly turbinate surgery). A wide variety of techniques exist to address the turbinates, including submucous turbinectomy, laser ablation, and radiofrequency turbinoplasty.

Does insurance cover turbinate reduction?

Does Insurance Cover Turbinate Surgery? The answer is – yes. In most cases where the diagnosis of inferior turbinate enlargement or hypertrophy has been made and the patient has not responded ideally to use of topical nasal medications, health insurance should cover the surgery.

How does Celon probreath work for nasal turbinates?

Celon ProBreath is the bipolar radio-frequency induced thermotherapy (RFITT) applicator for submucosal volume reduction of hyperplastic nasal turbinates, safely and gently developing predictably sized lesions in 4-10 seconds. CelonProBreath is the bipolar RFITT applicator for submucosal volume reduction of hyperplastic nasal turbinates.

How are Celon probes used in radiofrequency surgery?

“Probes are a particular feature in radiofrequency surgery. Olympus is at the forefront when it comes to the handling and functionality of interstitial probes. The very sharp and extremely thin, semiflexible CelonProBreath probes are ideal for procedures on the nasal turbinate under local anesthetic.

Is the Celon system for ENT procedures safe?

It is extremely user-friendly as its innovative bipolar technique enables safe, gentle, and fast energy transmission into the tissue. In addition, the CELON method requires only a short training session and can generally be performed on an outpatient basis.

What happens after a celonprobreath applicator is used?

Due to the design of the CelonProBreath applicator, submucosal thermal lesions are created along the entire length of the turbinate, keeping the ciliated epithelium and mucous membranes intact. A visible reduction in volume as a result of scarring and the body’s resorption of the coagulated tissue can be expected after three weeks.
