What is CPAP Therapy

CPAP therapy is an abbreviation for ‘Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)’ and is mainly used for treating Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS). When CPAP is worn during sleep, constant air pressure is delivered through the nose, preventing airway obstruction by securing the air passage. Since snoring and sleep apnea syndrome occur when the airway becomes blocked during sleep, improvement can be expected by wearing CPAP.

Risks of Sleep Apnea Syndrome

If Sleep Apnea Syndrome is left untreated, it can lead to the following serious health risks:

• Increased risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke
• Increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes
• Traffic accidents and occupational accidents due to severe daytime sleepiness
• Decreased memory and concentration, depressive symptoms

Particularly in severe cases, the incidence of life-threatening conditions such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction increases, making early diagnosis and treatment important.

Benefits of CPAP Therapy

• Snoring is reduced simply by wearing it
• Can treat Sleep Apnea Syndrome
• Sleep quality improves and daytime sleepiness is reduced
• Recovery from fatigue caused by sleep deprivation

CPAP does not require surgery and reduces snoring simply by wearing it, so immediate effects can be expected for snoring and Sleep Apnea Syndrome. Additionally, when snoring and Sleep Apnea Syndrome improve, sleep quality increases, eliminating daytime fatigue and sleepiness, and improving quality of life.

CPAP Rental Process

For Those Interested in CPAP and Snoring/Sleep Apnea Treatment

Sleep Medical Clinic is a clinic specializing in snoring treatment.
Doctors conduct examinations and treatment programs are customized to achieve expected improvement effects.
Additionally, our clinic offers not only CPAP rental but also laser treatment ‘Snore Lase’ that treats snoring at its root, and we recommend using them in combination.
Snore Lase is a treatment that improves snoring by applying laser to the oral cavity, tightening the inside of the throat to widen the airway. The treatment time is about 15 minutes with minimal pain, so anyone can easily receive treatment. If you are troubled by snoring or suspect sleep apnea syndrome, please consult with our clinic first.
