If you snore or have sleep apnea, there is a high chance that you have oral tissues in the back of your throat contributing to your condition. Snoring occurs when soft tissues surrounding your airway vibrate, which causes a snoring sound. Snoring and sleep apnea are often linked – many people who snore also have sleep apnea. Northern Virginia Sleep Solutions has innovative and non-invasive solutions available for our patients, including NightLase® snoring and sleep apnea treatment.
NightLase is an advanced laser treatment that can reduce snoring and improve breathing while you sleep. Many people with obstructive sleep apnea experience airway blockages while they sleep due to excess soft tissues in the back of their mouth and throat. These tissues also contribute to loud snoring, a common symptom of sleep apnea. NightLase works by tightening the oral soft tissues that vibrate and move while you sleep, helping to keep your airway open for less snoring and better breathing.

NightLase laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses light energy to constrict oral tissues. It is a simple and safe treatment performed at our sleep center in Alexandria, VA. The gentle laser exposes the oral soft tissues that cause snoring and airway blockages to light energy. The procedure is not painful, and no downtime is needed after the treatment.
NightLase for snoring and sleep apnea is an effective therapy that can provide relief after a series of laser treatments. The light energy causes a release of collagen in the tissues that causes them to restrict and tighten. Most patients require three to four sessions spaced a few weeks apart to achieve the desired effects. Snoring can be reduced by 50% or more, and many patients experience improved sleep apnea symptoms.
