NightLase® Snoring and Apnea Treatment
What is NightLase® Snoring and Apnea Treatment?
NightLase® Treatment is a patented, fast, non-invasive, and friendly way of increasing the quality of a patient’s sleep. NightLase® lessens the effects of sleep apnea and decreases the amplitude of snoring through the use of gentle, superficial Er:YAG laser light. No anesthesia is used in this
treatment.
How does NightLase® Treatment work?
During NightLase® treatment laser light heats the tissue, causing tightening of the tissue which leads to an attenuation of the sound of the patient snoring and a lessening of the effects of sleep apnea.

What Is NightLase?
NightLase is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to help reduce snoring and support better sleep quality. Using gentle laser energy, the treatment warms tissues in the back of the mouth and throat to encourage collagen tightening and tissue support.
This may help reduce tissue vibration and improve airflow during sleep — without surgery, anesthesia, or downtime.
NightLase is commonly recommended for patients struggling with chronic snoring or selected mild sleep-disordered breathing concerns who are looking for a comfortable, low-downtime treatment option.
How Does NightLase Work?
NightLase uses Fotona laser technology to gently heat the soft tissues of the palate and throat. This controlled thermal effect stimulates collagen remodeling and tissue tightening over time.
By helping support the airway tissues, NightLase may reduce the vibration and partial airway collapse that contribute to snoring and disrupted sleep.
Treatments are performed comfortably in-office and typically take about 30 minutes.
Benefits of NightLase Treatment
- Non-invasive treatment
- No surgery or anesthesia
- No downtime after treatment
- Comfortable, quick appointments
- May reduce snoring intensity
- Supports improved sleep quality
- Immediate return to normal daily activities
Who May Benefit From NightLase?
NightLase may be beneficial for:
- Primary snorers
- Patients with mild sleep-disordered breathing
- Patients seeking a conservative alternative to surgery
- Individuals who struggle with CPAP comfort
- Patients using oral appliance therapy as part of a broader airway treatment plan
A comprehensive evaluation can help determine whether NightLase is appropriate for your specific airway and sleep concerns.
What to Expect During Treatment
Most NightLase treatment plans include a series of 3–5 visits spaced over several weeks. During treatment, patients typically feel a gentle warming sensation, with little to no discomfort.
Because the procedure is non-surgical, patients can usually return to normal activities immediately after each appointment.
Results vary by patient and may continue improving gradually over time as collagen remodeling develops.
Important Information About Sleep Apnea
NightLase is designed to help reduce snoring and support selected patients with mild sleep-disordered breathing. It is not considered a stand-alone cure for moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea.
Patients with suspected sleep apnea may require a comprehensive sleep evaluation and additional treatment recommendations as part of a complete airway health plan.
