NightLase for snoring
NightLase for snoring
in St. Petersburg, FL.
NightLase treats snoring at the tissue that causes it. Fotona laser sessions gently tighten the soft palate, with no appliance to wear, no surgery, and no anesthesia, done in short office visits.
Why NightLase
Laser snoring treatment, no appliance.

The Process
A NightLase series, step by step.
Cases start with screening, because snoring and sleep apnea are different problems.
-
Screening first
The airway gets evaluated and sleep apnea screened, so treatment matches the actual problem.
-
Session series
Short Fotona laser sessions tighten the soft palate, without anesthesia.
-
Response builds
Tissue tightening and snoring reduction develop across the series.
-
Follow-up
Results get reviewed, with touch-up sessions or orthotics folded in per case.
