Over the years, the mucosa of the soft palate, like the skin, loses collagen and descends, partially blocking breathing when we sleep. This blockage in the passage of air when breathing generates a vibration and the sound of snoring.
The causes of snoring can be divided into two main categories: anatomical causes, including obstruction of the airways by the soft tissues of the throat, large size of the tongue, enlarged tonsils or deviated nasal septum; or non-anatomical causes, include allergies, smoking, obesity and sleeping position. At LASKIN we have professionals and state-of-the-art laser equipment to help you.
Treatment
Fotona's NightLase® therapy is a non-invasive laser treatment that reduces the amplitude of snoring thanks to the gentle tightening produced by the contraction of collagen in the oral mucosa, improving sleep quality.
Heat causes the soft palate tissue to contract, allowing the airway to be clear when sleeping.
This is a non-invasive treatment, improves sleep quality, is safe, highly effective and does not require anesthesia.
Safe, effective and minimally invasive treatments
At LASKIN we use Fotona® Er:YAG laser that optimizes the length of the laser pulses, allowing safe penetration of heat into the oral mucosa tissue. It is gentle enough to be used on sensitive tissue inside the mouth, but strong enough to provide clinically effective warming.
Research has shown that NightLase® reduces and attenuates snoring and reduces the effects of sleep apnea effectively and non-invasively.
