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 upper airway tissue. The controlled thermal effect stimulates collagen tightening within these soft tissue structures, which may reduce their tendency to vibrate and partially obstruct the airway during sleep — a recognised mechanism behind chronic snoring. Clinical studies have demonstrated measurable improvements in snoring intensity following the NightLase® protocol, making it one of the more studied non-surgical anti snoring treatment options available today. This treatment is not a substitute for a medical assessment of sleep-related breathing disorders, including obstructive sleep apnoea. 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, creating a controlled thermal effect within the upper airway structures.

02

Tissue Tightening Response

The thermal effect causes collagen fibre contraction and stimulates new collagen production — similar in principle to collagen-stimulating treatments such as Fractional Resurfacing — aimed at firming the soft palate and reducing airway laxity.

03

Reduced Vibration

Firmer soft palate tissue may vibrate less during sleep, potentially contributing to a meaningful reduction in snoring noise and upper airway resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)


NightLase® is considered a treatment for snoring and mild sleep-disordered breathing. It is not a standalone management option for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), which requires formal medical investigation and specialist oversight. If OSA is suspected, your practitioner will refer you appropriately rather than proceed with laser treatment alone.

The standard NightLase® snoring treatment protocol involves three sessions spaced roughly two to three weeks apart. Your practitioner will confirm the recommended schedule based on your individual assessment and treatment response.
Based on available clinical data, results from a full NightLase® protocol may persist for up to 12 months. A maintenance session may be appropriate thereafter. As with any treatment, individual outcomes vary and your practitioner will guide you based on your specific response.

Yes. A medical assessment is required before any snoring laser treatment commences. This is not a formality — it ensures that underlying conditions such as obstructive sleep apnoea are not missed, and that the NightLase® protocol is genuinely appropriate for your situation.
