How does the Paradise procedure work?

The Paradise procedure is an FDA approved additional treatment option proven to help lower high blood pressure. It works alongside any lifestyle changes and medications you’re already taking.1-3

In many people with high blood pressure, the nerves leading to your kidneys have become overactive, causing your blood pressure to rise. The Paradise procedure calms the nerves near your kidneys to help lower your blood pressure.

At your consultation, your doctor will help you understand how the Paradise procedure may benefit you and what risks to consider.
