you have three turbinates in each side of your nose. They are like fingers. Their job is to moisten the air, and add some resistance to your nasal breathing.

Coblation involves puncturing the lower of these with a coblater wand (small pointed instrument) it then destroys some of the tissue inside the turbinate creating a pocket that eventually collapses resulting in effectively a smaller turbinate. This means when you have Allergies, cold, or what have you, they won't swell up as much reducing the likelyhood of having a stopped up nose.

Most people think when their nose is stuffy it is due to it being full of junk. Actually, it is the turbinate swelling up and restricting the nasal passage which gives you that stopped up feeling.
