NightLase®: A Non-Invasive, CPAP-Free Solution to Snoring

Does your spouse or bedmate complain about not getting enough sleep? The problem might not be with them but with your snoring. It’s also likely that your partner isn’t the only one who’s sleep-deprived.

If you snore, you might not be excited about using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine at night. Fortunately, there’s an alternative treatment that doesn’t require surgery. Everglow Medical Spa offers NightLase® to West Chester and Cincinnati residents. It’s a quick and painless anti-snoring therapy that can bring you and your partner nighttime peace. Learn why snoring is a serious medical issue and how NightLase can help.

The Health Risks of Chronic Snoring

It’s easy to shrug off snoring as nothing more than a slight annoyance. However, chronic snoring is often a symptom of an underlying medical issue. If you have difficulty concentrating during the day, are tired, or get headaches when you wake up, you should take notice. Your partner might also tell you that you stop breathing several times during the night. Any of these signs should prompt you to talk to your doctor.

Your physician may attribute your chronic snoring to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). With this condition, the muscles at the back of your throat relax during sleep, obstructing your airway. As a result, you’ll have several periods of interrupted breathing throughout the night, some lasting longer than 10 seconds. Over time, OSA will prevent restful sleep and increase your risk of chronic conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease.

Even if your doctor doesn’t diagnose you with OSA, you can still suffer from inadequate sleep due to snoring. You and your partner can experience daytime fatigue, diminished cognitive functioning, and irritability. Also, the vibrations associated with snoring can damage blood vessels, leading to arterial scarring and hardening.

If snoring is a problem for you or your loved one, you can turn to Everglow Medical Spa in West Chester for a non-surgical remedy. We’ll explain how the treatment works, what happens during a NightLase session, and the benefits you’ll see from this alternative snoring solution.

How NightLase Works

NightLase uses a Fotona laser to treat the tissues in the throat area that contribute to airway obstruction. Your provider gently applies the NightLase laser to heat the soft palate, the tissue lining the throat, and the back part of the roof of your mouth. This process stimulates collagen production while shrinking and firming up the airway tissues to reduce snoring. Tightening the soft palate reduces the vibrations that cause snoring during sleep and treats OSA.

What Happens During a NightLase Session?

You can expect each NightLase treatment to last about 30 minutes, which fits easily into a typical lunch break. You won’t need anesthesia or numbing during your procedure. Some clients report a warm feeling, but otherwise, we’ll make sure you’re comfortable.

You’ll need at least four NightLase sessions to achieve the best results. However, you should start noticing improvements in your snoring even after just one treatment. Even better, your sleep will continue to improve over the following month. Because the results aren’t permanent, your provider will likely recommend a follow-up visit once a year, or more often, to maintain your results.

The Benefits of NightLase

If you suffer from poor sleep and other health problems due to chronic snoring, NightLase treatment can help you achieve improved health and the restful sleep you’ve been missing for so long. Many of our clients seek NightLase because it’s the better alternative to sleeping with the uncomfortable mask or facial apparatus attached to a noisy CPAP machine.

NightLase treatment from our qualified professionals at Everglow Medical Spa is quick, easy, safe, and painless. It also doesn’t carry the complications and risks of anti-snoring surgery. More importantly, NightLase is one of the most effective alternatives to CPAP and surgery. Results are quick and long-lasting. One potential side effect is a temporary sore throat.

Is NightLase Permanent?

Although effective and long-lasting, NightLase is not a permanent solution. To prevent long-term snoring, it’s essential to receive follow-up treatment annually. You can maximize your results by maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, and avoiding or limiting alcohol.
