Enhance Your Sleep With NightLase®
Sleep apnea is a fairly common disorder affecting approximately 1 in 5 adults. Troublesome snoring is even more common. Apnea is measured with a sleep study and generally diagnosed at an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥5 (the higher the number the worse the apnea). Untreated sleep apnea is associated with an increase in type II diabetes, heart attack, stroke, and a shortened lifespan according to Johns Hopkins University.
Our doctors have completed advanced training in sleep apnea and lasers and will use their expertises to help you treat your specific condition.
Call UsWhat is NightLase®?
NightLase® is a non-invasive, non-surgical laser treatment and an alternative to uncomfortable CPAP masks, oral appliances and invasive surgical procedures. The Fotona LightWalker laser is cleared by the FDA for intra-oral soft tissue ablation, coagulation, excision and incision, and laser assisted uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP).
NightLase® is an in-office procedure with no anesthesia needed, and no pain medications required. It heats and remodels loose flabby collagen with dual wavelength lasers, thereby firming and rejuvenating airway tissues.
The results are fairly quick, with an improvement in sleep, snoring, and apnea almost immediately. The mouth and throat feel dry for a few hours, but there is no downtime, no bleeding, and no special aftercare needed.
How Does NightLase® Help with Snoring?
For mild to moderate snoring, generally, a couple of treatments are done about 2 weeks apart. For individuals with sleep apnea, a minimum of three treatments are recommended.
Results vary based on the degree of snoringm or apnea, as well as individual tissue response. More treatments lead to more reduction of snoring and or sleep apnea.
Snoring severity is typically reduced by over 50% after two treatments. People with mild to severe sleep apnea had an average of 66% reduction in severity after three laser sessions. More sessions can be performed to get even better results.
Additional treatments may be chosen to get even better results for people with more severe diseases, and they are done approximately every 2 weeks. Studies have followed individuals for up to three years with sustained results, but it isn't like we stop aging, so periodic tune-ups for result maintenance are a simple option.
