NightLase is a non-invasive laser treatment to reduce snoring. It works by contracting the collagen and tightening the tissues in the back of the throat. That helps to open the airway and reduces the vibrations which improve breathing and reduces snoring.
67% of the people snore, 80% of the snorers have some type of sleep apnea.
Naturally, when we breathe the air travels from the mouth/nose through the airways and reaches the lungs. When we are awake muscles keep that pathway relatively open but when we are asleep the muscles around relaxed and allow the air paths to narrow. Snoring typically occurs when air passes through the constricted path between the tongue and the soft palate, causing vibration of the soft palate.
