- Yesterday morning I had nose laser treatment.
- They burn some parts of the inside of your nose with a laser.
- It's supposed to prevent the effects of hayfever.
- I started to have quite severe hayfever 3-4 years ago
- Medicine and protective masks help but it's not fun every spring
- One third of people in Japan have hayfever - it's a big industry!
- There are big forests of pine trees which were planted for timber but never used as imports were cheaper and these are left to grow and spew out huge amounts of pollen into the atmosphere every spring an also lesser so in autumn
- Hayfever is also caused by other plants so you may need to do a test to find out which types you are effected by
- I heard hayfever can be compared to a cup. Once the cup is full you've reached your intake limit and will be effected going forward
- I had to do the laser treatment now for it to be effective next spring.
- Does anyone know any references about this treatment in English?
- I thought it would hurt but the painkiller which made even the gum above my front teeth numb was effective.
- The smell of the burning was pretty nasty.
- Got 3 types of medicine to take and have to go back in a week for a check
- Will report back next spring whether it has been effective.
