As mentioned, Fotona NightLase treatments are designed to correct snoring. During sleep, the muscles in the roof of the mouth, tongue and throat relax. If relaxed enough, this can block your airways and cause the nose and throat tissues to vibrate.

Fotona NightLase treatments use laser energy to gently heat the tissues at the back of the throat. This stimulates the production of collagen in those areas, working to expand airways and eliminate tissue vibration. As a result, snoring is dramatically reduced.

Prior to your treatment, we recommend having a consultation at Medical Aesthetics to discuss your concerns and procedure expectations, after which we can create a treatment plan.

Fotona NightLase treatments take around 30 minutes to complete. During treatment, a special device may be used to hold your jaw forward. Using the specialised handpiece, laser energy will be administered to the targeted area of the soft palate and throat.

To achieve the best possible results, we usually recommend three treatments, spaced three to four weeks apart. To maintain this, we suggest follow-up treatments every year.

There is absolutely no downtime required after a Fotona NightLase treatment, meaning that you are free to resume your daily activities immediately. You may experience some slight throat irritation following your treatment, however, this is normal and should resolve within 24 to 48 hours.

While results will vary from patient to patient, many notice a reduction in snoring and improvement in their sleep quality immediately after their first treatment. However, collagen production takes time, meaning that it will take time for full results to develop. Once your NightLase sessions have been completed, the size of your airways should be noticeably larger. As a result, you can expect to feel more rested when you first wake, and your bed partner should report a dramatic reduction in snoring volume and intensity. Results usually last between 12 to 18 months, after which you will require annual maintenance treatments.

There is absolutely no downtime required after a Fotona 4D facelift, meaning that you are free to resume your usual daily activities immediately. However, you may experience some mild swelling, redness or peeling of the skin: this is normal and should resolve within a day or two. Following your Fotona 4D treatment, diligent sun care is a must, so we suggest applying an SPF 50+ to the treated area daily.
