Snoring and Apnea Treatment
Snoring is a problem affecting as many as one in four people in the UK, according to NHS estimates – and men are twice as likely to snore as women. Snoring is caused by things such as your tongue, mouth, throat or airways in your nose vibrating as you breathe. It happens because these parts of your body relax and narrow when you’re asleep. Some people have laxity of the soft palate causing an exacerbation of these symptoms. You are more likely to snore if you are overweight, smoke, drink too much alcohol or sleep on your back. We can often pinpoint the cause but few know how to stop snoring.
Poor Sleep
Poor sleep is often caused by snoring. Poor sleep can have a significant impact on so many aspects of people’s lives. Affecting work with poor concentration due to lack of sleep. Home life is impacted with couples often sleeping in separate bedrooms. It is a life changing concern for many people in the UK. Previously very little has been on offer to help patients who snore. Thrive Medical Clinic can now address the common question of how to stop snoring. There is a simple non-invasive laser treatment with no downtime.
Sleep Apnoea
Sleep apnoea is when your breathing stops and starts while you sleep. The most common type is called obstructive sleep apnoea.
Symptoms of sleep apnoea mainly happen while you sleep. These include:
- Breathing stopping and starting
- Making gasping, snorting or choking noises
- Waking up a lot
- Loud snoring
Daytime symptoms may also include:
- Feel very tired during the day
- Finding it hard to concentrate
- Mood swings
- Headaches when you wake up in the mornings
How DOES NightLase®work?:
Fotona’s NightLase®* therapy is a patient-friendly laser treatment for increasing the quality of a patient’s sleep. NightLase can reduce the effects of and decrease the amplitude of snoring by means of a gentle laser treatment of the mucosa tissue. It is gentle enough to be used on the sensitive tissue inside the mouth, but strong enough to provide clinically efficacious heating and collagen stimulation. Research has shown that NightLase can reduce snoring and provides an effective, non-invasive way to lessen the effects of snoring.
Expected Results:
A full course of NightLase consists of three separate treatment sessions over a two month period.
The final results of the treatment have been shown to last up to a year, and the therapy can be repeated.
Patients find NightLase to be a highly comfortable and satisfying solution.
NightLase requires no device to be worn during sleep and involves no chemical treatment.

You will then be offered an initial consultation for our clinical team to discuss your concerns in more detail and decide on the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
You will also be sent an information pack, including a medical questionnaire and pre and post treatment information that will need to be completed prior to your first consultation.
PRE-TREATMENT CONSULTATION
Before your appointment our highly qualified team will have already had the opportunity of reading your medical questionnaire and reviewing any photos you may have already sent in.
This first consultation is the most valuable opportunity for you to talk through your concerns and discuss your desired goals on your journey with us. It is very important that we fully understand what you would like to achieve and we will also offer our expert opinion on how we can help.
At this appointment, if suitable, we will undertake detailed skin analysis and if your treatment plan is going to involve laser treatments, we may also undertake a patch test with the appropriate Fotona laser for your needs. The patch test helps you to know what to expect in terms of sensation and any reactions your skin may have to this treatment.
