We can accommodate two patients from the same family on the same day but this must be booked in advance so extra time is allowed.
You will be asked for a deposit of €50 to secure any appointment. Failure to pay the deposit by 2 weeks before the date and time means we assume you no longer wish to attend the clinic and that appointment will be offered to someone else.
Please note that the follow up consultation fee is €70 (€120 for 2 patients seen at the same time).

Rhinolight® treatment fees
The options are to pay-as-you-go (€140 each treatment session) or buy and pay at time of booking for a package of 6 or 8 treatments (1 free treatment in these packages). Reduced price packages MUST be paid for at time of booking. The minimum number of Rhinolight® treatments is 6.
- 1 treatment costs €140
- 6 treatments cost either €140 ‘pay-as-you-go’ (total cost €840) or the 6 treatment ‘pay-at-time-of-booking-and get-one -free’ package of €700.
- 8 treatments cost either €140 pay-as-you-go’ (total cost €1120) or the 8 treatment ‘pay-at-time-of-booking-and get-one -free’ package of €980.
As a guide: 6 treatments would be advised for the seasonal allergy hay fever while 8 treatments would be recommended where there are all-year-round symptoms such as occurs with allergy to dust mite and pollens (this includes animal hair allergy).
I recognise this is not cheap but in the long term there should be significant savings on prescribed and across-the-counter medicines and doctors’ visits fees. More importantly, there should be a significant improvement in your (or your child’s) quality of life (and without drugs!).
Is Rhinolight® treatment covered by any health insurance company such as VHI, Laya, Glo-Health, Garda Medical Aid or ESB scheme?
No. Unfortunately none of these companies will reimburse for allergy testing or treatments, including Rhinolight® therapy. I am making representations on this but at present there is no cover. Keep all receipts for your treatments as you will get a €50 reimbursement for each one and the rest can be claimed against tax on a Med 1 form.
