What is ClearPath™?

A gentler way to clear chronic nasal obstruction.

ClearPath™ is a minimally invasive, in-office treatment that opens the nasal valve — the narrowest part of your airway — using a small handpiece instead of surgery. Dr. Schneiderman performs it under local anesthetic in about 20 minutes.

No Hospital Visit

Patients report mild pressure during the 20-minute procedure, performed under local anesthetic. There’s typically a few days of mild congestion afterward — most return to normal activity the next day.

Some patients notice improvement in the first week. Full results — easier breathing day and night — typically arrive within 2–4 weeks as inflammation subsides.
ClearPath™ is for adults with chronic nasal obstruction at the nasal valve. The best way to find out is a 30-minute consultation with Dr. Schneiderman.
