Discover NightLase: A Non-Surgical Solution for Snoring and Sleep Apnea
If you or a loved one struggle with snoring or sleep apnea, you know how disruptive it can be. Poor sleep affects your health, energy levels, and even your relationships. Fortunately, there’s a non-invasive, pain-free solution that can help: NightLase therapy.
What Is NightLase?
NightLase is an advanced laser treatment that reduces snoring and improves sleep apnea symptoms by tightening the tissues in the soft palate and upper airway. This non-surgical approach uses a specialized Er:YAG laser procedure to stimulate collagen production, resulting in significant improvement in airway function. Unlike traditional sleep apnea treatments such as oral appliance therapy or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines, NightLase requires no device to be worn during sleep and offers a virtually painless experience.
How NightLase Works
Using a NightLase laser, your sleep dentist will direct gentle pulses of laser energy to the throat muscles and surrounding tissues. This smooth mode technology attenuates snoring by increasing tissue firmness, reducing airway collapse during sleep. The treatment is performed in a series of three sessions, each lasting approximately 30 minutes, with a follow-up evaluation to track progress.
Who Is a Good Candidate for NightLase?
If you experience snoring disorder, mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), or have been diagnosed with sleep disorders, you may be a candidate for NightLase. It’s ideal for those who:
- Snore loudly, disturbing their bed partners
- Want an invasive way to lessen the effects of snoring without surgery
- Have struggled with oral appliances or CPAP therapy
- Experience a dry throat or dry mouth due to other treatments
- Seek an alternative apnea treatment with significant reduction in symptoms
Why Choose NightLase Over Other Sleep Apnea Treatments?
Unlike chemical treatments or bulky devices, NightLase is:
- Non-surgical and non-ablative
- Pain-free with no downtime
- Highly effective, with studies showing significant improvement in sleep patterns
- A treatment with no risk of dependency or discomfort
- Clinically backed, with randomized controlled trials and meta-analysis supporting its effectiveness
What to Expect from NightLase Treatment
Patients typically notice a significant reduction in snoring intensity after the first full course of treatment. Some experience a mild sore throat after the procedure, but this resolves quickly. Unlike invasive erbium or invasive erbium YAG laser methods, NightLase is gentle on the skin and internal tissues.
