CELON is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to reduce the size of enlarged nasal turbinates. Turbinates are structures inside the nose that help regulate airflow. When they become enlarged, often due to allergies or other irritants, they can cause nasal obstruction, congestion, and difficulty breathing. CELON gently shrinks the turbinates, improving airflow and relieving these symptoms.
The CELON procedure is performed in our office under local anesthesia. A small wand is inserted into the nose, and radiofrequency energy is applied to the enlarged turbinates.
