About ClearUP
ClearUP's proprietary technology emits low-level electrical stimulation called microcurrent to underlying sinus nerve fibers. Simply glide ClearUP around the outer cheek, nose and brow bone for a quick five-minute treatment. Low-level electrical stimulation of the sinus nerve fibers has been shown to alleviate pain and pressure sensations and result in smaller blood vessel diameter and reduced edema (swelling). Studies show that 74 percent experienced relief after one treatment that lasts for up to six hours. ClearUP empowers sinus sufferers to manage their sinuses at home with self-care, a rapidly growing trend in healthcare.

ClearUP is available for purchase at $149 on Amazon, www.tivichealth.com, and online at Best Buy, CVS and Walgreens in November.
