Snoring Isn’t Just Annoying — It’s Dangerous!
Occasional, light snoring is usually nothing to worry about. However, when it is loud and frequent, it often signals a serious sleep disorder called sleep apnea. This condition causes pauses in breathing, as well as episodes of reduced breathing, that deprive your body of oxygen and disrupt your sleep cycle. These incidents occur because tissues in the throat — the same tissues that vibrate loudly during snoring — block the free flow of oxygen. Untreated sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of many health problems, including heart attack, stroke, and more.
What Is QuietNite Laser Snore Treatment?
QuietNite laser snore treatment uses a fractional CO2 laser to create a series of micro-thermal wounds without any harm to the surrounding tissue. This process instigates your body’s healing response and stimulates the production of collagen, an important structural protein. As a result, the tissues in the palate and upper airway become tighter and more toned. This allows for oxygen to pass through more easily, meaning that snoring may be greatly reduced or even eliminated.
What to Expect from QuietNite Laser Snore Treatment
QuietNite laser snore treatment is easy for patients! After your consultation, we will set up your treatment plan. Each laser session usually lasts just 10 – 15 minutes. During these appointments, we will use the DEKA CO2 laser by placing a fractional wand into your mouth. The laser will work on the targeted tissues. This is not painful. Rather, most patients report a gentle warming sensation.
You may notice a difference in the quality of your sleep within five days or so. However, optimum results can take 30 days or longer as the tissues in your throat continue to tighten. We often recommend a series of 2 – 4 sessions to optimize the benefits of the treatment. Results may last 9 – 12 months before additional laser sessions become necessary.
The Benefits of QuietNite Laser Snore Treatment
QuietNite laser snore treatment offers a number of benefits:
- Comfort: The treatment is non-ablative and comfortable. You do not even have to be numbed for your sessions!
- Higher-quality sleep: This can lead to increased mental clarity, better moods, improved health, and better overall quality of life.
- May reduce need for other treatments: Laser treatment might reduce the need for other sleep apnea treatments. For example, it might let you use your CPAP machine on a lower setting.
- Easy and convenient: With quick, infrequent treatment sessions, this therapy is designed to integrate with busy modern lifestyles.
- Benefits for your partner: Reduced snoring can allow your partner to sleep better and may foster a healthier relationship.
