Nightlase for Snoring in Wilmington, NC
Cape Fear Smiles offers Nightlase for snoring in Wilmington, NC—a non-invasive laser treatment that tightens the soft tissue of the throat to reduce snoring without surgery, appliances, or downtime. Dr. Norma Cortez and Dr. Adrian Soto use this gentle Er:YAG laser protocol to help patients and their partners enjoy quieter, more restful sleep.
Nightlase Explained
Nightlase is a patented laser treatment developed by Fotona that uses Er:YAG laser energy to heat and tighten the collagen in the soft palate and surrounding tissues. As the tissue contracts and remodels, the airway opens slightly, reducing the vibration that causes snoring. The treatment requires no cutting, no anesthesia, and no recovery time.
Benefits of Nightlase
- Non-invasive—no surgery, no incisions, no anesthesia.
- Painless treatment with no downtime.
- No oral appliance or device to wear at night.
- Significant snoring reduction after a series of three sessions.
- Quick treatments lasting approximately 20 to 30 minutes each.
- Results can last up to a year or longer with optional maintenance.
The Treatment Process
Nightlase is performed in three sessions spaced approximately two to three weeks apart. During each session, the Er:YAG laser is applied to the soft palate, uvula, and throat tissues in a controlled, sweeping motion. The laser energy stimulates collagen contraction, progressively tightening the tissue with each session.
What to Expect
Most patients feel only a comfortable warming sensation during treatment. You can eat, drink, and resume all normal activities immediately afterward. Snoring improvement is often noticed after the first session, with optimal results after completing all three treatments.
