What is NightLase Therapy?
NightLase® is a dental laser treatment that reduces snoring by heating and tightening the tissues in your soft palate and throat. The heat causes these tissues to contract, allowing your airway to fully open.
Before treatment, these tissues may be enlarged and partially block your airway. As the air tries to move through, snoring occurs. The funny sound you hear when people snore is the vibration of the air passing through the throat.
NightLase® has a high success rate in producing positive change in sleep patterns. Research has shown that NightLase® reduces and attenuates snoring and proves an effective, non-invasive way to lessen the effects of sleep apnea.
Why Choose NightLase®?
NightLase uses safe laser energy to stimulate collagen contraction in the soft tissues at the back of the throat. This opens the airway, reduces snoring, and improves sleep quality without surgery or a long recovery.
Top benefits of NightLase snoring therapy include:
- Non-surgical and needle-free
- No anesthesia required
- Comfortable in-office procedure
- Minimal downtime
- Clinically proven results
For patients in Mercer Island, Bellevue, and surrounding areas, NightLase is a safe and effective alternative to CPAP or surgical interventions. Learn more about our approach to Sleep Apnea and Snoring Treatment.
How the NightLase Procedure Works
NightLase treatment is typically completed in three short sessions over six weeks. Here's what you can expect:
- Initial Consultation
We assess your symptoms and sleep issues to determine if NightLase is right for you. You can get started by scheduling your consultation. - Laser Treatment
During each session, we apply gentle laser energy to the tissues in your throat. The treatment takes about 30 minutes and feels like a warm tingling sensation. - Ongoing Improvement
Most patients see improvement after the first session, with optimal results after all three visits.
Does NightLase Work?
Yes. Clinical studies and patient outcomes show that NightLase can significantly reduce snoring and improve sleep. Many patients notice improvement within a few days of the first treatment.
