NightLase® - Snoring and Apnea Treatment
-
Snoring is caused by things such as your tongue, mouth, throat or airways in your nose vibrating as you breathe. It happens because these parts of your body relax and narrow when you’re asleep. Some people have laxity of the soft palate causing an exacerbation of these symptoms. You are more likely to snore if you:are overweight, smoke, drink too much alcohol or sleep on your back
Sometimes snoring is caused by a condition like sleep apnoea, which is when your airways become temporarily blocked as you sleep.
-
Fotona’s NightLase® therapy is a non-invasive, patient-friendly laser treatment for increasing the quality of a patient’s sleep. NightLase reduces the effects of sleep apnea and decreases the amplitude of snoring by means of a gentle, laser-induced tightening effect caused by the contraction of collagen in the oral mucosa tissue.
-
Fotona’s patented Er:YAG laser modality optimizes the length of laser pulses, allowing for the safe penetration of heat into the oral mucosa tissue. It is gentle enough to be used on the sensitive tissue inside the mouth, but strong enough to provide clinically efficacious heating.
