Fotona Nightlase® Laser Sleep Apnea Treatment in Spring, Cypress, The Woodlands, TX

Sleep apnea and snoring are two serious problems that can disrupt your sleep and have a serious detrimental effect on your daily life. Sleep apnea can lead to daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, exhaustion, and long-term health issues such as heart disease and stroke. In the past, bulky, uncomfortable treatments such as CPAP machines or invasive surgeries were the only solutions. Fortunately, the Fotona Nightlase Laser Sleep Apnea Treatments have changed all that. At Klein Crossing Dental, we can treat sleep apnea and snoring effectively with noninvasive laser therapy.

What is Nightlase® Therapy?

Fotona’s Nightlase® system uses a noninvasive laser to gently heat the tissues in the airway at the back of the mouth and throat. This causes the tissues to tighten, keeping the airways open. Typical Nightlase laser sleep apnea therapy involves four to five rounds of treatment over twelve to fifteen weeks. Each treatment lasts 30 minutes and does not require any anesthesia. There is no pain, although you may feel a slight warming effect. You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.

Positive Impact on Sleep Apnea and Snoring

Fotona NightLase Laser Treatment is noninvasive, comfortable, and doesn’t require patients to wear awkward face masks and hoses while sleeping. Snoring and sleep apnea can be reduced by up to 50% after just one treatment, with optimal improvement achieved with three or more treatments. Benefits from NightLase treatments include better sleep quality, diminished snoring, improved quality of life, and fewer symptoms of sleep apnea.
