NightLase is an innovative laser therapy that uses an Erbium:YAG laser to gently heat and tighten the soft tissues of the mouth, including the soft palate and uvula. This stimulates collagen production, which helps open the airway to reduce snoring and improve breathing during sleep. The treatment is quick and painless and requires no anesthesia or downtime. Most patients require 4-6 initial treatments depending on the severity of the snoring or sleep apnea condition. These treatments are delivered every 3 weeks. After the initial treatment sessions, 1 maintenance session is required every 8-10 months to keep the desired results. NightLase offers a convenient alternative to CPAP machines or oral appliances, providing lasting relief for those with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and frequent snoring.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by repeated airway blockages during sleep, leading to interrupted breathing and poor sleep quality. These blockages often result from relaxed or floppy tissues in the throat that collapse and narrow the airway. Symptoms include loud snoring, daytime fatigue, and restless sleep. Mild to moderate cases can often be managed with non-invasive treatments like NightLase, which targets airway tissues to improve airflow and reduce symptoms.
NightLase provides a painless, surgery-free solution to reduce snoring and improve breathing during sleep. It offers long-lasting results with minimal downtime, enhancing overall sleep quality and daily energy levels.
NightLase uses a specialized laser to gently heat and tighten the soft tissues in the oral cavity, including the soft palate and uvula. This process stimulates collagen production, which strengthens and firms the tissues, helping to keep the airway open during sleep and reducing the vibrations that cause snoring.
NightLase is a painless procedure that requires no anesthesia or sedation. Most patients feel only mild warmth during the treatment, and there is no discomfort or downtime afterward, allowing you to return to normal activities immediately.
NightLase is ideal for individuals who suffer from frequent snoring or mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. It is less effective for severe cases or those with anatomical issues like enlarged tonsils. A consultation with a qualified provider can determine if NightLase is right for you.
Many patients experience improvements in snoring and sleep quality that last up to a year following the initial treatment series. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain these results over time. The treatment offers a long-term solution without the need for nightly devices.
