Snoring is a common sleep problem that can affect not only your own sleep quality, but also that of your loved ones. Caused by an obstruction in the airway, snoring can lead to restless nights and, in some cases, be a sign of sleep apnea. At Parikart, we offer an innovative, non-invasive solution to combat snoring: Fotona laser treatment. This effective treatment uses cutting-edge technology to tighten the throat tissues and reduce snoring, offering a simple and comfortable alternative to traditional methods.

What causes snoring?

Snoring occurs when the airway is partially blocked during sleep. This causes the soft tissues in the throat to vibrate, creating the characteristic snoring sound. Several factors can contribute to snoring, including:

• Nasal obstruction : A blocked nose due to allergies, colds or a deviated nasal septum can interfere with breathing.
• Relaxation of throat tissues : With age, the muscles of the throat can lose tone, leading to partial obstruction of the airway.
• Excess weight : Excess fatty tissue around the neck can compress the airway.
• Sleep habits : Sleeping on your back or consuming alcohol before bed can also contribute to snoring.

Although snoring is often perceived as a nuisance, it can also be a sign of more serious medical conditions, such as obstructive sleep apnea. In the case of sleep apnea, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional to determine the best solution to the problem.

How does Fotona laser treat snoring?

Fotona laser snoring treatment is based on an innovative, non-invasive technology that works by tightening the loose tissues at the back of the throat, reducing airway obstruction during sleep. This treatment, called NightLase , uses the laser's thermal energy to stimulate collagen production, improving tissue firmness.

The process is simple and has several advantages:

• Controlled Tissue Heating : The Fotona laser gently heats the throat tissues without pain or discomfort to induce natural retraction and tighten the soft tissues responsible for snoring.
• Collagen stimulation : The treatment encourages the regeneration of collagen in the tissues, improving their elasticity and firmness. This helps to widen the airways and reduce the vibrations responsible for snoring.
• Progressive improvement : Results are gradual, with a significant reduction in snoring after several sessions.

What are the benefits of Fotona NightLase treatment for snoring?

Fotona NightLase treatment has many advantages over more invasive methods such as surgery or the use of intraoral devices. Here’s why this treatment is becoming increasingly popular:

• Non-invasive and painless : Unlike surgery, NightLase laser treatment requires no incisions or anesthesia and is completely painless.
• Fast, Long-Lasting Results : Patients often see a reduction in snoring after 1-3 sessions, with results lasting up to a year, depending on the case.
• No interruptions to daily life : There is no recovery time after sessions, which means you can get back to your activities immediately.
• Improved quality of life : The treatment not only reduces snoring, but it also improves the quality of sleep for both you and those around you, allowing you to get back to peaceful nights.

How does a snoring treatment session with Fotona at Parikart take place?

At Parikart, NightLase treatment is simple and comfortable. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation : Before starting treatment, a consultation is performed to assess the origin of your snoring and ensure that you are a good candidate for laser treatment.
2. Preparation : The area to be treated, i.e. the inside of the throat, is targeted by the Fotona laser. No anesthesia is necessary, and the session is painless.
3. Laser application : The professional uses the Fotona laser to heat the tissues of the throat. You will feel a slight warmth in the treated area, but no major discomfort.
4. Session duration : Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes, and it is recommended to follow a complete treatment of 3 sessions spaced several weeks apart to obtain the best results.

How many sessions are needed and what results can be expected?

Snoring treatment with Fotona NightLase typically requires 3 sessions for optimal results. Patients often see a significant reduction in snoring after the first session, with continued improvement after each treatment.

Results can last up to 12 months, after which a maintenance session may be necessary to prolong the effects of treatment. Patients report a noticeable improvement in the quality of their sleep, as well as that of their partners.
