Sleep apnea is a debilitating disorder that is characterized by one or more pauses in breathing while sleeping. These pauses vary in duration from a few seconds to a few minutes and cause restless sleep, loud snoring and tiredness throughout the day. The most common is obstructive sleep apnea which is due to a collapsed or blocked airway. Snoring can be deeply disruptive to not only the affected party but also their partner. While certain medical conditions must first be ruled out, many people snore due to the shape of their palate and the back of the throat.

Fotona NightLase is a minimally invasive treatment option that tightens the collagen of the oral mucosa tissue which reduces obstruction in the airway, therefore reducing the effects of obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. This is not a cure for sleep apnea and some further investigations will be ordered by Dr. Adams prior to treatment. If snoring is affecting your sleep or your relationship, come in and speak to us about laser therapy for snoring. This procedure requires a number of laser treatments that are minimally invasive and provide long-lasting results.
