Approximately 90 million Americans snore on a regular basis, which means there are tens of millions of spouses, partners, and family members losing out on their rest as a result! Snoring isn\u2019t just annoying\u2014it\u2019s a sign that someone isn\u2019t breathing properly during sleep, and it\u2019s also a telltale symptom of a serious disorder\u2014sleep apnea. Fortunately, NightLase offers a safe, effective, and non-surgical way to stop this persistent problem using a solution you probably haven\u2019t considered\u2026a laser!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

But First, Let\u2019s Talk About Snoring a Little More\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To understand how NightLase works, you need to know what causes snoring in the first place. When some people lay down, the tissues in their mouth and throat (including the tongue) relax and can fall back into the airway. As someone breathes, these tissues vibrate, creating the iconic (and irritating) sound. It\u2019s an indication that the airway is partially obstructed, and for patients dealing with sleep apnea, it may precede their breathing becoming cut off entirely for a short period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laser Treatment for Snoring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NightLase is a treatment performed using the Fotona-Nightwalker laser, and the way it works is fairly straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The laser is used to precisely apply heat to the oral tissues that are the root cause of snoring. This causes the collagen in them to contract, making the tissue naturally tighten. As a result, this expands the airway and reduces snoring as well as the risk of sleep apnea episodes occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of NightLase<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
