Snoring Laser Treatment Snore Lase

TOPThe Mechanism of SnoringSnoring Laser Treatment ‘Snore Lase’

The latest snoring laser treatment ‘Snore Lase’ is our clinic’s unique medical laser treatment that improves snoring by applying laser to the throat and palate, tightening the inside of the throat to change its shape and widen the airway.

Snore Lase sets the irradiation frequency per second (Hz) and laser thermal energy (fluence) to optimal settings for snoring treatment, then applies our unique technique to irradiate affected areas such as the soft palate and uvula while minimizing pain.

Features of the Latest Snoring Laser Treatment ‘Snore Lase’

Minimal Pain

Instead of cutting part of the throat with a scalpel or laser, this treatment widens the airway by applying laser, resulting in significantly less pain compared to conventional surgical removal treatments.
Additionally, anesthesia can be provided free of charge if desired.

Short Treatment Time

The Snore Lase irradiation time is approximately 15 minutes, so even busy people can easily receive treatment.
Also, since the treatment time per person is short, appointments are easier to schedule.

Almost No Downtime

Our Snore Lase is a laser developed to treat patients with minimal burden, so there is almost no swelling or pain, and almost no downtime.

Low Risk

Snore Lase is a laser treatment that can be received with peace of mind, as there is no risk of swelling in the surface area of the throat or permanent side effects.

Irradiation Settings Can Be Adjusted According to Condition

Snore Lase applies appropriate settings for each individual patient during irradiation. Since it is a customized treatment, high effectiveness can be expected.

Differences Between Conventional Surgical Treatments and Snore Lase

Conventional surgical treatments improved snoring by using scalpels or lasers to remove excess tissue in the oral cavity and widen the airway.
While they have the advantage of long-lasting effects that are unlikely to revert, they involve intense pain during and after the procedure.

Differences Between Conventional Laser Treatments and Snore Lase

Conventional laser treatments, like Snore Lase, involve irradiating the pharynx with laser to tighten it and widen the airway.
However, unlike Snore Lase, they only irradiate the shallow part of the throat, so the effect feels weaker compared to Snore Lase.

Treatment Details	After warming the throat, laser is applied to deep layers to tighten the pharynx with minimal pain and widen the airway	Applying laser to the soft palate and uvula tissues to tighten the pharynx and widen the airway	Removing excess tissue at the back of the throat with laser to widen the airway
Effectiveness	Because it tightens the throat to the deep layers, effects equivalent to surgical excision can be expected	Because only the shallow part of the throat is irradiated, the effect is weaker than Snore Lase	Because throat tissue is removed, there is no regression and long-lasting effects can be expected
Advantage	Can improve snoring with almost no pain or downtime	Less pain and shorter downtime compared to surgical treatment	While there is no guarantee of complete cure of snoring, basically one treatment session is sufficient
Pain	Because our original irradiation settings minimize heat temperature, you only feel warmth with almost no pain	Some pain is felt during the procedure. Additionally, swelling, pain, and throat discomfort may be experienced for about 3 days	Intense pain is felt during the procedure. Additionally, throat pain and discomfort are experienced for about 2 weeks after the procedure
