What is Snoring Laser Treatment?

This is a treatment method that widens the airway by irradiating and contracting the uvula and surrounding areas, reducing vibration of soft tissues that cause snoring.

Is it covered by insurance?

Our clinic’s snoring treatment is elective medical care, but it is also eligible for medical expense deductions during tax filing, so the actual payment amount can be reduced.
