NightLase™ is a non-surgical, painless, and effective treatment that will reduce or eliminate snoring. Sleep well, feel better with NightLase™.
NightLase® works by using laser energy to gently heat the tissues of the airway causing a tightening effect which helps to keep your airway open. It requires no anesthesia, and you can go back to your daily routine immediately after the procedure.

NightLase™ is a non-invasive laser treatment that targets the soft tissues in the throat and mouth to reduce snoring and symptoms of mild to moderate sleep apnea. The gentle laser energy stimulates collagen remodeling in the soft palate, uvula, and surrounding tissues, creating tightening and toning effects. This increased tissue firmness helps reduce vibrations that cause snoring and widens the airway for improved breathing during sleep. As a drug-free, non-surgical approach, NightLase™ offers an effective alternative to traditional treatments like CPAP machines.
NightLase™ is virtually painless with most patients reporting only a warm sensation during treatment. The procedure takes about 30 minutes per session, requires no anesthesia, and involves directing the specialized laser to target areas in your mouth and throat. You'll remain comfortable and can communicate throughout the treatment. There's no downtime afterward—you can immediately return to normal activities including eating and drinking. Most patients experience no side effects, though some may notice mild throat sensitivity for a day.
A standard NightLase™ protocol typically includes three sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Most patients notice improvement after the first or second treatment, with full results developing after completing the series. The effects generally last 9-12 months, after which a single maintenance treatment can extend the benefits. Your specific treatment plan will be customized based on your snoring severity, sleep assessment results, and response to initial treatments. Many patients report significantly reduced snoring and improved sleep quality throughout the duration of the treatment's effectiveness.
