How Does NightLase Work?

NightLase therapy uses a specialized laser to gently heat the tissues in the throat, causing them to contract and tighten. This process reduces the vibration of the soft tissues, which is the primary cause of snoring. The laser also stimulates collagen production, further tightening the tissues and improving the overall structure of the airway.

The NightLase Procedure:

1. Initial Consultation:
   • Examination: Our dentist will examine your throat and discuss your snoring and sleep apnea symptoms to determine if NightLase therapy is right for you.
   • Treatment Planning: We will develop a customized treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals.
2. Laser Treatment:
   • Application: During the treatment, a specialized laser handpiece is used to deliver controlled laser energy to the soft tissues in the throat.
   • Heating: The laser gently heats the tissues, causing them to contract and tighten. This process typically takes about 20-30 minutes per session.
   • Multiple Sessions: Most patients require 3-4 treatment sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, to achieve optimal results.
3. Post-Treatment Care:
   • Immediate Results: Many patients notice a reduction in snoring after the first session, with continued improvement over the course of the treatment.
   • Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure the effectiveness of the therapy.
