While people often joke about snoring, it can actually be a significant health issue. Nouveau Health & Wellness offers a non-invasive laser snoring treatment called NightLase.
The Fotona NightLase C3 procedure stimulates collagen production and tightens throat tissue, resulting in less snoring and sleep apnea. It is safe and effective with no side effects though some patients may experience a mild sore throat after the procedure.
What is NightLase?
Snoring is a sign of a problem in the throat and mouth, and it can lead to serious health issues. It can cause poor sleep and daytime tiredness, and it can also be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea. NightLase is a non-invasive treatment that can stop snoring and reduce the symptoms of sleep apnea.
The procedure uses laser light to target the soft tissue in the throat, namely the uvula and the soft palate. It warms the collagen in these tissues, which strengthens and tightens them. This reduces snoring and improves airflow.
The procedure is comfortable and painless, and most patients do not experience any discomfort at all. However, some may feel a slight sore throat for a few days. Most people do not need to take any time off work, and they can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. The results from the treatment can last up to a year, though some patients may need follow-up treatments to maintain their progress.
How Does NightLase Work?
NightLase uses laser technology to target and tighten throat tissues to improve the flow of air. This reduces or eliminates snoring and the symptoms of mild to moderate sleep apnea, allowing you to get a good night’s rest again.
The treatment is comfortable and painless, with most patients experiencing only a dry throat and a mild sore throat after the procedure. The effects of the treatment typically last several months and can even last up to a year in some cases.
For the best results, we recommend scheduling a course of three NightLase sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. If you have been struggling to get a good night’s rest, contact us today to see if you could benefit from the noninvasive treatment of NightLase! The results can be life-changing. You may find that you have more energy throughout the day and are able to sleep better at night. This allows you to be more productive at work and home.

Many patients find that their snoring significantly decreases and they are able to get more restful sleep.

Nightlase heats and tightens the tissues in your throat and mouth to widen your airway and reduce the vibration that causes snoring. It does not cause any pain or discomfort and has a high success rate, with studies showing that results last up to a year.
Before you undergo Nightlase, we will conduct an oral examination and take images of your mouth and throat to determine whether it is right for you. We will also connect you with a sleep test to ensure that your snoring is not caused by sleep apnea, which is different from snoring and can be eliminated with other treatments such as oral appliances.
