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.
