Snoring and breathing problems during sleep are more common than most people realize. According to studies, about 40% of adults snore. This can be more than an inconvenience for some people. It can affect relationships and may cause sleeping disorders. Traditional solutions like CPAP machines or mouth guards are effective but may be a reason for discomfort or inconvenience.
NightLase(R) is a modern non-invasive laser treatment which is made to improve the quality of sleep and reduce snoring. NightLase(R) uses Fotona’s advanced Er-YAG laser to offer a patient-friendly, gentle solution. It strengthens the oral tissues, helps open the airway and allows patients to breathe freely while sleeping.
NightLase(R) is an innovative service for clinics that provides a non-invasive, safe and effective treatment for sleep disorders. It’s a life changing option that can help patients have better nights and brighter days.
What is TimeWalker II NightLase (R)?
NightLase (R) is an minimally-invasive laser treatment which uses precise, gentle laser energy to heat soft tissues in the oral cavity. This causes collagen remodeling which tightens the tissues surrounding the airway and improves airflow while sleeping.
NightLase® is different from traditional treatments in that it requires:
(a) No surgery
(b) No Anesthesia
(c) No downtime
The patient is usually treated with a short series of in-office sessions. These sessions are comfortable and result in noticeable improvements.
How NightLase (R) works
The TimeWalker II system is a safe and effective way to deliver Er : YAG laser energy. What happens during treatment?
Gentle Thermal Heating
The laser heats the tissues of the oral cavity such as the soft palate and pharyngeal wall.
Collagen Remodeling
Heat increases collagen quantity and makes tissues stronger.
Airway Improvement
It makes tissues hard and wide, which reduces obstructions and minimizes snoring.
Natural Process
changes occur naturally as collagen builds over several weeks without artificial implants or cutting as compared to surgery.
