NightLase® laser snoring treatment uses a gentle, non-invasive laser to tighten and tone tissue in the throat and soft palate. The result is a reduction in the vibration that causes snoring without surgery or an oral appliance.
How the NightLase Works
NightLase uses a specialized Fotona® laser to gently heat collagen fibers in the soft tissue of the throat and soft palate. Over time, this stimulation tightens the tissue, resulting in a more relaxed airway that allows air to pass through smoothly during sleep.
What to Expect
NightLase treatment is performed directly in the office, without anesthesia, incisions, or downtime. In most cases, a series of short sessions over a few weeks is sufficient to gradually tighten the tissue.
Who Is NightLase For?
NightLase is generally best suited for individuals dealing with mild to moderate snoring. Patients diagnosed with more severe obstructive sleep apnea generally require more involved treatment.
The best way to know whether NightLase is right for you is a personalized evaluation of your airway anatomy and snoring concerns.
