Laser snoring treatment

Snoring is a condition that affects both women and men, and there are many ways to treat it. Fotona NightLase is a painless, non-surgical procedure that significantly reduces or eliminates snoring and sleep apnoea. Overall, it markedly improves the patient’s sleep quality, making sleep more restful.

The first treatment is preceded by a specialist consultation to assess whether the patient is suitable for laser snoring treatment. If the patient decides to go ahead with the treatment, the consultation fee is credited against the price of the first session.

NightLase treatment requires no special preparation on the patient’s part, as it is a short outpatient procedure – max. 30 minutes – performed without anaesthesia.
The treatment takes place in two steps: first the tissues are warmed, then the warmed tissues are firmed. The treatment targets the soft palate and the throat area. The patient feels no pain, only a sensation of warmth during the treatment, which disappears immediately afterwards. NightLase is a very gentle procedure, with no pain, bleeding or tissue damage. Patients can return to their usual routine immediately after the treatment and need no aftercare or pain relief.

To achieve the desired result, 3 treatments are usually recommended at intervals of 3–6 weeks.

When is NightLase treatment not recommended?

• nasal polyps, deviated septum,
• strong gag reflex,
• lockjaw (trismus).
