Snoring can be the bane of a bed partner’s existence!

Just because snoring is common does not mean it is normal or healthy. And snoring can also point to more serious issues such as obstructive sleep apnea so it should be investigated. Snoring is caused by the vibration of the tissues in the back of the mouth – the soft palate and base of the tongue are the most common noisemakers, but the uvula and side of the tongue and even the tonsils can be contributory.

DEKA is the brand of fractional CO2 laser that we use to run the QuietNite protocol. A short series of appointments – generally 2-3 visits over a 3 month period – is all it takes. In each 10 minute visit, the specialty tips of this laser make microscopic pinpoint holes in these tissues no more than 500 microns apart. The result for some is an immediate improved quality of inhale – and for most, the benefits of the oral structures tightening continues over the next 48 hours.

While no anesthetic or surgery is needed to run the DEKA QuietNight Laser, a slight rough texture will result for the next day. Some people will describe the sensation as having a scratchy (not sore) throat.

Results typically last for 9-12 months after the initial treatment, so annual touchups are recommended.
