Fotona’s NightLase therapy is a laser treatment for increasing the quality of a patient’s sleep. NightLase reduces the effects of sleep apnea and decreases the amplitude of snoring by means of a gentle, laser-induced tightening effect caused by the contraction of collagen in the oral mucosa tissue, according to the manufacturer.

Fotona’s patented Er:YAG laser modality optimizes the length of laser pulses, allowing for the safe penetration of heat into the oral mucosa tissue, the manufacturer states, adding that it is gentle enough to be used on the sensitive tissue inside the mouth, but strong enough to provide clinically efficacious heating.
A full course of NightLase consists of three separate treatment sessions over a six week period. No anesthesia is used.
