How does NightLase® treatment work for sleep apnea and snoring?
A SIMPLE TWO STEP PROCESS
The NightLase® laser system by Fotona uses an Er:YAG modality, which allows Dr. Gordon to precisely control every pulse that targets the soft tissues of the airway. The process for treatment is a simple two-step procedure:
✓ Precondition the tissue
✓ Strengthen the tissue
Laser treatments for sleep apnea, snoring and airway conditions effectively tighten or strengthen tissue to prevent the relaxation of the muscles, which is what causes the airway to collapse in the first place.
FULL COURSE OF TREATMENT FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS
Typically a "full course" of NightLase® treatments includes three sessions spread out over several weeks. After an initial consultation and evaluation of your condition, Dr. Gordon will be able to effectively determine the optimal number of treatment sessions and maintenance session required to alleviate and manage your sleep apnea symptoms.
With proper treatment, patients may see final results lasting up to a year. Think of that: restful, quiet sleep for an entire year. Once you or your partner notice that symptoms begin to recur, Dr. Gordon may recommend another round of treatments so that you can continue to enjoy uninterrupted breathing and all the benefits of healthy sleep and breathing patterns.
Is NightLase® painful or disruptive to sleep?
No. One of the primary benefits of NightLase® snoring and sleep apnea treatments is the ease and comfort of the procedure for the patient. No nighttime device is required and treatments are typically quick, comfortable or virtually painless.
In some cases, Dr. Gordon may also recommend use of a custom-fitted nightguard as an additional treatment option. A nightguard helps to adjust the position of the jaw and mouth (also recommended for TMJ and bruxism therapy) in order to maintain healthy airflow while sleeping.
