Are there any side effects?
In the days following the procedure, patients may experience a slight swelling in the treated areas. The nasal turbinates may also crust over slightly. This is a normal, harmless reaction of the body which can be alleviated by using a gentle nose spray or salve as needed.
Will nasal packing be necessary?
You will probably not need nasal packing, as the procedure does not normally cause bleeding.
Is there anything I should be careful about after treatment?
Hard physical stress should be avoided in the days after treatment. You don't need to restrict your daily activities in any other way. Talk to your ENT specialist about any necessary appointments to monitor your condition.
Who carries out the procedure?
Established ear, nose and throat doctors or clinics who specialize in the Celon method.
For more information call the Celon Hotline or go to the Contact Page.
How long will it take for the treatment to take effect?
The treatment begins to take effect after a few days. The full effect is observed at around three weeks after treatment.
Is the treatment painful?
Given, that it is usually carried out with a local anesthetic, the treatment itself is virtually painless. Patients may, however, experience a slight foreign body sensation in the treated areas after treatment.
What is the Celon method?
Bipolar radiofrequency-induced thermotherapy (RFITT), also referred to as the Celon method, is a procedure for minimally invasive thermal treatment of body tissue using bipolar radiofrequency current. The effect can be controlled exactly and is closely confined to the region of tissue under treatment. The superficial tissue (mucous membrane) is handled gently, the organic function of lymphatic tissue remains intact.
