Frequently asked questions
How does this treatment work?
Hay fever (allergic rhinitis) occurs when the immune system reacts to airborne allergens such as pollens, grasses or dust mites. This can lead to sneezing, a blocked or runny nose, itching and watery eyes.
For suitable patients whose symptoms remain troublesome despite standard therapies, additional treatment options may be considered as part of an individualised management plan.
Your consultation begins with understanding your symptoms, previous treatments and medical history before determining whether this treatment is appropriate.
What symptoms can it help with?
Treatment may be suitable for patients experiencing sneezing, nasal congestion, a runny nose, nasal itching and seasonal allergy symptoms.
Not all nasal symptoms are caused by hay fever. Your consultation is designed to confirm whether allergic rhinitis is the likely cause before treatment is recommended.
What happens during my appointment?
Your appointment begins with a comprehensive medical consultation.
We will discuss your symptoms, how they affect your daily life and what treatments you have previously tried.
If treatment is appropriate, your doctor will explain the procedure, expected outcomes, potential risks and aftercare before treatment proceeds.
How long does treatment last?
The duration of symptom relief varies between patients, with a range of 4 to 12 months.
If symptoms return over time, your doctor can discuss whether repeat treatment or alternative management strategies are appropriate.
What is the recovery time?
Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Temporary nasal irritation or mild discomfort may occur but generally settles quickly.
Are there any risks?
Every medical procedure carries risk.
The risks depend on the treatment recommended and will be discussed in detail during your consultation, together with the expected benefits, possible side effects and any alternative treatment options.
How much does it cost?
Treatment is tailored to your symptoms and medical history.
Following your consultation, you will receive an individualised treatment recommendation and written quote before deciding whether to proceed.
Considering this treatment?
Every treatment begins with a consultation. There is no obligation to proceed, and sometimes the right recommendation is to wait or to do nothing at all.
