Snoring and Sleep Apnea – Can NightLase Help?

Snoring is more than just a cpap alternative to those who have to listen to it, and the loud sound can mask a deeper problem that could be sleep apnea. The condition is characterized by a partial or full blockage of the airway which results in breathing interruptions. These interruptions can last for up to 10 seconds. The condition has been linked to health issues including high blood pressure, low body oxygen levels, heart problems, and more.

NightLase is a noninvasive, palatal expansion and tissue tightening solution that reduces the amplitude of snoring sounds and improves the quality of sleep. The procedure uses a soft and comfortable Er:YAG laser to target the tissues in the mouth and throat that can cause snoring and mild-to-moderate sleep apnea. The laser light preheats the targeted tissues and then strengthens and tightens them, allowing for reduced snoring and sleep apnea.

Is CPAP Right for You? Alternatives for Sleep Apnea Treatment

In a clinical study of over 40 patients with moderate snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea, the results showed that patients who received three sessions of NightLase saw an 85% reduction in snoring and a 50% improvement in their sleep apnea symptoms. The treatment has been found to be effective in patients with a wide range of conditions including uvula elongation, palatal flutter, and soft palate and tonsil hypertrophy.
