Effective New Treatment for Snoring
Snoring is a common problem that affects millions of people worldwide. It can be caused by various factors such as sleep apnea, nasal congestion, obesity, and enlarged tonsils or adenoids. Not only does snoring disrupt the quality of sleep for both the person snoring and their sleeping partner, but it can also lead to more serious health issues if left untreated.
One of the latest treatment options for snoring is NightLase™, a non-invasive laser therapy that aims to reduce snoring and improve the quality of sleep. This treatment has gained popularity in recent years due to its effectiveness and minimal side effects. In this article, we will discuss what the treatment is, how it works, and its potential benefits.
What is it?
NightLase™ is a laser treatment that targets the soft tissues in the throat and mouth to reduce snoring. It uses a special type of laser called Er:YAG (Erbium Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) to gently heat the tissues and stimulate collagen production. Collagen is an essential protein that helps maintain the structure and elasticity of the skin and other tissues in the body.
The treatment is performed by a trained medical professional who uses a small handheld device to direct the laser energy towards specific areas in the throat and mouth. The procedure is painless, non-invasive, and typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. Patients may require multiple sessions depending on the severity of their snoring.
How does it work?
It works by tightening and shrinking the soft tissues in the throat and mouth that contribute to snoring. As we age, these tissues can become loose and floppy, leading to vibrations and obstruction of airflow during sleep, resulting in snoring. By stimulating collagen production, this treatment will help strengthen these tissues and reduce the severity of snoring.
During the procedure, the laser energy penetrates deep into the tissues, causing them to contract and tighten. This creates a more open airway, allowing for smoother breathing during sleep. The results are not immediate, as it takes time for collagen production to increase and for the tissues to become firmer. Typically, patients will begin to notice improvements in their snoring within 1-2 weeks after the treatment.
Potential benefits
- Non-invasive and painless: Unlike other treatment options for snoring, it does not involve any incisions or anesthesia. This makes it a suitable option for individuals who are afraid of surgery or have underlying health conditions that may make them ineligible for surgery.
- No downtime: Since it is a non-invasive procedure, there is no recovery time needed. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment.
- Long-lasting results: Depending on the severity of snoring, patients may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results. However, once the tissues are tightened and strengthened, they typically remain that way for several months to a year before a touch-up session is needed.
- Improved sleep quality: Snoring can lead to poor sleep quality, which can have detrimental effects on overall health and well-being. By reducing snoring, this treatment can help individuals get better sleep and wake up feeling more rested and rejuvenated.
Conclusion
NightLase™ treatment for snoring is a safe and effective option that does not involve surgery or downtime. By targeting and tightening the soft tissues in the throat and mouth, it can significantly reduce snoring and improve sleep quality. If you or your partner struggles with snoring, consider consulting the professional team at UELC today to see if NightLase™ is a suitable option for you. A good night's sleep is essential for optimal health, and this may just be the solution you've been looking for.
