Night Lase is a leading-edge laser procedure for the treatment of snoring. It is non-invasive, simple and an effective way of reducing or eliminating snoring.

Laser energy is used to heat the tissues of the airway causing a tightening effect which helps to keep your airway open. NightLase is performed with approximately three short treatments spaced over two months.

Class 1: Full visibility of tonsils, uvula and soft palate
Class 2: Visibility of hard and soft palate, the upper portion of tonsils and uvula
Class 3: Soft and hard palate and base of the uvula are visible
Class 4: Only Hard Palate visible

Snoring occurs when the air is not able to move freely through your nose and mouth during sleep. This is due to a narrowing of your airway, which causes the tissues to vibrate and make an audible sound. In extreme cases, the airway can become blocked which is known as obstructive sleep apnea.

Many factors can contribute to snoring such as age, nasal and sinus problems, being overweight, alcohol, smoking, medications, and sleep posture.

Snoring has a number of consequences that can impact the life of a snorer and his/her sleep partner.

Sleep deprivation as a result of snoring has a negative impact on health and quality of life.

Snorers can experience tiredness, morning headaches, irritability, dry mouth, and relationship difficulties. Studies have also shown a link between snoring and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

Each treatment lasts 15 minutes and requires no anaesthesia. The procedure is comfortable and you can resume your daily routine immediately afterwards.

Results are often seen after the first session. Results that will allow you to sleep easy, feel better and healthier! 80% of patients report a reduction in snoring as well as apnea episodes.

Most treatments for snoring attempt to keep the breathing passage open. Specially made dental appliances can be effective but rely on daily compliance. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) systems are often used to help control sleep apnea and the snoring associated with it, however, these devices can be very uncomfortable.

There are surgical options available for correcting snoring which usually involves removal of tissue from the uvula and pharynx but these surgeries are invasive and can result in a lengthy and unconformable recovery period following the surgery.

A full course of NightLase consists of three separate treatment sessions over a six week period. The final results of the treatment have been shown to last up to a year, and the therapy can be repeated.

Patients find NightLase to be a highly comfortable and satisfying solution. NightLase requires no device to be worn during sleep and involves no chemical treatment. It’s a gentle and easy way for your patients to regain a good night’s rest.

A novel method for the treatment of snoring and sleep apnea was recently proposed that utilizes laser beam photothermal effects on the mucosal tissue in the oropharynx.

The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of this method using both subjective patients’ assessments and objective polysomnographic measurements of snoring and apnea levels.
