01

A non-surgical, non-invasive option for patients who want a treatment pathway without ongoing devices or medication.

03

Collagen stimulation

Laser energy gently heats oral mucosa tissue to stimulate collagen and help expand the airway over time.

Ideal candidates for NightLase

NightLase is described as ideal for patients experiencing poor sleep quality due to snoring and those at risk of developing sleep apnea.

  • People whose snoring disrupts their sleep or a partner’s sleep
  • Patients concerned about the effects of sleep apnea
  • Those wanting a consultation-led treatment plan
  • People looking for a non-surgical option

How NightLase works

During sleep, tissues in the nose and throat can vibrate when airway muscles relax. NightLase uses laser energy to gently heat tissue at the back of the throat.

  • Stimulates collagen in the treated tissue
  • Works to expand the airway
  • Aims to reduce vibration that contributes to snoring
  • Designed to support better sleep quality over time

What to expect during treatment

Treatment begins with a consultation to review your concerns and discuss whether NightLase is suitable for you.

1

Consultation

Your sleep concerns, snoring symptoms and treatment expectations are reviewed before creating a personalised plan.

2

Laser treatment

A specialised handpiece delivers laser energy to the soft palate and throat. A device may be used to help hold the jaw forward.

3

After treatment

You are generally free to return to your usual daily activities immediately after the session.

Treatment time Around 30 minutes
Comfort You may feel a tingling or warming sensation, though treatment is described as relatively painless
Downtime No downtime is required and normal activities can usually be resumed immediately
Recovery Slight throat irritation can occur and usually settles within 24 to 48 hours

How many treatments are usually needed?

The page states that three treatments are usually recommended to achieve the best possible results.

  • Usually 3 treatments
  • Typically spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart
  • Annual maintenance may be recommended afterward

Results timeline

Some patients notice a reduction in snoring and better sleep quality after the first treatment, though full results take longer because collagen production develops gradually.

The page says results usually last around 12 to 18 months, after which annual maintenance may be required.
