Lifestyle Treatment
Snoring - Fotona Nightlase
Fotona’s NightLase® therapy is a patient-friendly laser treatment for increasing the quality of a patient’s sleep.
NightLase can reduce the effects of and decrease the amplitude of snoring by means of a gentle laser treatment of the mucosa tissue. Results are measurable by using the SnoreLab app. Snoring laser treatment is a minimally invasive, pain-free procedure that can help you get relief from snoring. The treatment uses laser energy to stimulate the production of collagen in the tissues of the upper airway. This helps to tighten and strengthen the tissues, which can reduce snoring. The treatment is performed in our office and takes about 30 minutes. There is no recovery time or side effects associated with the treatment. You will be able to return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Some of the advantages of NightLase® are:
Measurable results through the SnoreLab app
Minimally invasive & Pain Free
No downtime or side effects
You’ll see a noticeable difference on the first treatment; however, we recommend 3 for optimal results. Sessions should be every 30 days.
