About This Treatment

A Non-Invasive Approach to Snoring Management

Fotona’s NightLase® therapy uses gentle Er:YAG laser energy delivered intraorally to the soft palate and surrounding tissue. The controlled thermal effect is designed to stimulate collagen tightening in these soft tissue structures, which may reduce their tendency to vibrate and partially obstruct the airway during sleep. Clinical studies have demonstrated improvements in snoring measures following the NightLase® protocol. This treatment is not a substitute for medical assessment of sleep-related breathing disorders. A medical consultation is required prior to treatment.

How it Works

Fotona's precise laser energy interacts with tissue at a cellular level.

01

Soft Tissue Targeting

Er:YAG laser energy is delivered to the collagen-rich soft tissue of the soft palate, designed to create a controlled thermal effect.

02

Tissue Tightening Response

The thermal effect is designed to cause collagen fibre contraction and stimulate new collagen production, aimed at firming the soft palate.

03

Reduced Vibration

Firmer soft palate tissue may vibrate less during sleep, potentially contributing to a reduction in snoring noise.
