Safe and effective laser treatment for snoring and sleep apnea
Do you suffer from sleep apnea? Does your partner have trouble sleeping because of your snoring? If so, we have the solution. We offer NightLase® anti-snoring treatment to help you and your loved ones sleep better at night. This is not a nasal strip or a chin strap, but a quick laser procedure. NightLase® works by tightening the tissues of the oral mucosa. This treatment is safe, effective and requires little downtime.
What should I expect?
NightLase® is a treatment that uses Fotona's Er:YAG laser. This laser system uses pulses of energy to warm the mucous membranes in your mouth. The process is gentle but effective at stimulating your body's natural collagen production response. The tissue in the targeted area contracts, creating a tightening effect that reduces snoring without resorting to external remedies.
How does it work?
The anatomy of your mouth can play a major role in how often you snore. A low, thick, soft palate can narrow your airway. This is common in older adults.
Similarly, if your uvula is elongated, it can obstruct airflow and increase vibrations. These issues can be corrected by NightLase®'s ability to firm up your oral tissue.
What can I expect during treatment?
During your NightLase® treatment, laser light will be used to warm the tissue in your mucous membranes. This will cause the tissue to tighten. That tightening effect will, in turn, reduce the volume of sound made during sleep.
The procedure happens in two simple steps:
Step 1: Preconditioning – The laser light pre-warms the tissue.
Step 2: Tightening – The laser light tightens the tissue.
What results can I expect?
A complete NightLase® treatment includes three separate sessions over a six-week period. The final result of this treatment has been shown to last up to a year. Since this treatment is non-invasive, it can be repeated multiple times with no risk of complications.
