Abstract
Nasal airway reshaping is accomplished using a fractional treatment device applied externally to the nose to insert needle electrodes into nasal tissue to be reshaped. Energy is applied via the electrodes to cause at least partial coagulation of the nasal tissue within zones around each of the plurality of needle electrodes while pressure is applied internally to achieve the desired reshaping.
