NightLase
Nightlase is a gentle, non-invasive laser procedure that reduces the effects of sleep apnea, decreases the severity of snoring and increases the quality of sleep.
NightLase therapy is based on Fotona’s patented Er:YAG laser modality, which optimizes the length of laser pulses, allowing for the safe penetration of heat into the oral mucosa tissue, producing a gentle, laser-induced tightening effect caused by the contraction of collagen in the tissue.
How the Treatment Works
• A specialized dental laser gently warms the throat tissues
• This stimulates collagen production and tissue tightening over time
• A firmer airway reduces vibration and airway collapse during sleep
What to Expect During Treatment
• Non-invasive (no surgery, injections, or cutting)
• No anesthesia required
• Comfortable warming sensation in the throat
• Each session lasts about 20–40 minutes
• Typically completed in a series of 4 visits spaced three weeks apart
Benefits of NightLase
• Reduces or may eliminate snoring
• Improves sleep quality for you and your partner
• No recovery time — return to normal activities immediately
Who May Benefit
NightLase is most effective for individuals who:
• Snore regularly
• Experience disrupted or unrefreshing sleep
• Prefer a non-surgical approach
• Have mild sleep-disordered breathing
Results and Maintenance
Many patients notice improvement after the first session, with full results developing gradually as the tissues strengthen. Results often last months to over a year, and maintenance treatments can be performed if needed.
