What is NightLase?
NightLase is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to help reduce snoring. Using Fotona’s Er:YAG laser technology, controlled laser energy gently heats the soft tissues of the mouth and throat, stimulating collagen remodeling and helping to tighten the treated tissue. This can reduce tissue vibration associated with snoring.
Who is the Ideal Candidate?
NightLase may be suitable for patients who experience snoring and are looking for a non-surgical treatment option with no downtime. A consultation is required to determine whether NightLase is appropriate based on your individual needs.
Benefits
- Helps reduce the severity and frequency of snoring

- No downtime
How Long Does Treatment Take?
NightLase treatment session takes approximately 30 minutes.
What to Expect After Treatment
Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately following treatment. Temporary warmth, dryness, or mild throat irritation may occur. Results develop gradually throughout the treatment series as collagen remodeling takes place.
Recovery Time
There is no downtime, and patients can typically return to their usual activities immediately after treatment.
Risks & Side Effects
Temporary dryness, sensitivity, irritation, or mild discomfort of the treated area may occur. Individual responses to treatment vary, and potential risks will be reviewed during your consultation.
FAQs
How many treatments are recommended?
A series of 6–8 treatments, intervals two weeks apart is typically recommended. The number of treatments may vary depending on individual needs and response to treatment.
How does NightLase help reduce snoring?
NightLase gently heats targeted tissues within the mouth and throat, stimulating collagen remodeling and helping to tighten the tissue. This can decrease the vibration of soft tissue that contributes to snoring.
Is NightLase painful?
NightLase is generally well tolerated and does not require anesthesia. Patients may experience a warming sensation during treatment.
When will I see results?
Some patients may notice improvement during their treatment series, with results developing progressively as the tissues respond and collagen remodeling occurs.
How long do results last?
Results vary from patient to patient. Periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended to help maintain results.
