FOTONA DYNAMIS NX

The goal of laser therapy for snoring is to strengthen the soft tissues of the palate. During the procedure, the energy of the Er:YAG laser heats parts of the palate, the relaxation of which disrupts the free movement of air during sleep. The treatment leads to the contraction of collagen fibers and hardening of the palate. Hardening of the palate reduces the vibrations of the soft tissues and uvula, thus allowing air to move freely.

The unique properties of the Fotona Er:YAG laser allow superficial penetration of heat into the tissues without causing damage or unwanted effects. The laser beam is delicate enough to be used on sensitive tissues of the oral cavity, and at the same time – powerful enough to produce good clinical effects.

How is the procedure performed?

The procedure involves precisely focusing an Er:YAG laser beam on specific areas in the oral cavity. The procedure is performed with a non-ablative Er:YAG laser, which does not disrupt the integrity of the epidermis. The treatment is painless and does not require anesthesia. There is no recovery period after the procedure and patients can return to their usual daily activities. It is recommended to refrain from drinking and consuming very cold and very hot drinks and dishes on the day of treatment.

The duration of the procedure is between 20 and 30 minutes.

How many procedures are needed?

The full protocol consists of 4 procedures, performed on days: 1, 15, 45 and 75. The effects are visible on the first day after treatment and last for about a year. If snoring recurs, it is necessary to undergo a further series of procedures.
