Fotona NightLase

For optimal results, patients should undergo three separate treatment sessions over a period of six weeks—on Day 1, Day 15, and Day 45. Following this initial course, patients may need an annual top-up session or additional sessions if their snoring or apnea symptoms worsen.

No, NightLase is a gentle and painless laser treatment. The laser energy will feel warm and tingly, and there is no need for anesthesia. Patients may be fitted with a small mouthguard if needed or simply hold their mouth open intermittently by saying “Aaaarrrrhhh” to ensure comfort throughout the session.

Before starting treatment, we carry out a full assessment to determine if you are suitable for laser treatment for snoring. We score your symptoms and signs, and we ask that you download and use the SnoreLab app, which empirically measures your snoring throughout the night. This helps us monitor your progress during the treatment.

Most patients will see a result after their first session, but to sustain these benefits, all three treatments are necessary. The results will be noticeable to anyone you share a house or bed with, and we can also monitor progress using the SnoreLab app. For example, some patients have reported dramatic improvements as soon as the evening after their first treatment session.

NightLase uses gentle laser energy in a non-invasive way to stimulate collagen production, tightening and lifting tissue inside the mouth and at the back of the throat. This treatment uses Fotona’s patented technology to safely and effectively stimulate collagen without causing any damage to the skin or tissue.
