Nightlase™ is a procedure that uses gentle laser energy to help promote a better night’s sleep. It works by stimulating collagen production in the tissue of the throat and soft palate, which helps reduce snoring and sleep apnea. It can also help to reduce airway resistance and improve oxygen levels during sleep. Nightlase is a safe and effective procedure that can help people get a more restful and restorative sleep, as well as improve their overall quality of life. These procedure help reducing adipose tissue under the chin and tongue, stimulating and promoting collagen maturation in the area of application.
Snoring and sleep apnea can have serious consequences for your health and performance. Snoring is caused by the relaxation of your throat muscles, which can cause your airway to partially collapse. This reduces the amount of oxygen your body receives, causing your heart rate to increase and your blood pressure to rise. Sleep apnea is a more serious condition, in which the throat muscles collapse completely, completely blocking your airway and preventing you from getting enough oxygen. This can cause serious health complications such as heart attack, stroke, and high blood pressure. In addition, both snoring and sleep apnea can cause daytime sleepiness, which can affect your performance at work or school. It is important to talk to your doctor if you are snoring or have symptoms of sleep apnea, so that you can get the treatment you need to stay healthy and perform well.
