A non-invasive laser therapy that uses the Fotona Er:YAG laser to tighten soft tissues in the mouth and throat, reducing snoring and the effects of mild to moderate sleep apnea.
The laser energy heats the tissues, causing collagen to contract and tighten, which opens up the airways and improves airflow. A typical course involves eight to ten sessions over three month, and results can last up to a year.
How it works
Laser heat: The laser's heat penetrates the soft tissue at the back of the throat, causing the collagen to contract immediately.
Collagen tightening: This tightening effect helps reduce the relaxation of the soft palate and other tissues that contribute to airway obstruction and snoring.
Airway opening: By making the tissues firmer, the treatment helps maintain an open airway during sleep, leading to less vibration and snoring.
Long-term remodeling: The treatment also stimulates new collagen production, which leads to long-term improvements in the quality and structure of the tissues.
