What Is NightLase and How Does It Work?

Minimally invasive laser therapy that uses gentle heat to tighten tissues in the back of the throat—comfortable, simple, and requiring no downtime.

A Breakthrough in Snoring Treatment

NightLase represents a breakthrough in snoring treatment, enabling Dr. Andrew Cohen to provide effective snoring reduction without surgery, devices, or uncomfortable recovery periods. This innovative approach addresses the root cause of snoring through gentle tissue tightening.

Gentle Laser Therapy for Snoring Reduction

NightLase uses controlled laser pulses to stimulate collagen remodeling in the soft palate and uvula, reducing tissue laxity and vibration that cause snoring. NightLase utilizes light energy to stimulate collagen, while laser therapy naturally tightens soft tissue in the oropharynx.

How NightLase works:

  • Gentle laser energy stimulates natural collagen production
  • Soft palate and uvula tissues become firmer and less prone to vibration
  • Reduced tissue laxity leads to quieter breathing and less snoring
  • No cutting, no pain, no downtime required

How the Treatment Feels and What to Expect

The procedure is quick and pain-free. Most patients describe it as warm or slightly tingly sensations during treatment. No anesthesia or downtime is needed. NightLase sessions are non-invasive and comfortable, while patients experience no cutting or sedation.

Treatment experience:

  • Comfortable 20-minute sessions in our Jenkintown office
  • Warm, gentle sensation during laser application
  • Post-treatment allows for immediate return to daily activities
  • No recovery period or special aftercare required

How Snoring Affects Sleep, Health, and Relationships

Snoring is more than a nuisance—it’s a medical and quality-of-life issue that affects oxygen intake, sleep fragmentation, and even relationships.

Snoring Is a Symptom of Airway Collapse

Snoring occurs when airflow vibrates relaxed tissues in the throat. Over time, this can lead to oxygen disruption, sleep fragmentation, and potential progression to sleep apnea. Snoring results from vibration of relaxed upper airway tissue, while noisy breathing indicates partial airway obstruction.

Understanding the mechanics:

  • Relaxed throat tissues narrow the airway during sleep
  • Air turbulence causes tissue vibration and snoring sounds
  • Snoring disrupts deep sleep and oxygen flow
  • May signal early-stage sleep apnea development

The Impact of Snoring on Your Health

Chronic snoring affects far more than just sleep quality. The health implications extend to cardiovascular strain, cognitive function, and relationship quality.

Health consequences of untreated snoring:

  • Increases fatigue and irritability throughout the day
  • May signal early-stage sleep apnea development
  • Raises blood pressure and cardiovascular strain
  • Affects cognitive clarity, memory, and mood
  • Snoring affects sleep quality for patients and partners
  • Chronic snoring correlates with cardiovascular strain
  • Snoring contributes to poor mood, memory, and energy levels

Who Is a Good Candidate for NightLase Treatment?

Ideal for habitual snorers, people who dislike CPAP, early-stage sleep apnea patients, and those seeking non-invasive options.

Mild to Moderate Snorers

If you snore but haven’t been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, NightLase may be a powerful preventive and restorative treatment. NightLase is best suited for mild to moderate snorers, while snoring without apnea can still disrupt health and sleep quality.

Ideal candidates include:

  • Regular snorers without a severe sleep apnea diagnosis
  • People experiencing sleep quality issues due to snoring
  • Non-invasive laser therapy improves upper airway tone
  • Those seeking preventive treatment before apnea develops
