Q&A
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is it okay to have just an examination and counseling on the first visit?

Yes, examination and counseling are free on your first visit. If there are available appointments on the day of your visit, it is also possible to receive treatment.

What type of anesthesia is used during treatment?

We spray a spray-type anesthetic to the back of the throat. The anesthesia will take effect within a few minutes.

If you use our medical loan, installment payments are also possible. (When using a loan, loan installment fees will apply)

Is there really no downtime after treatment?

Who will be in charge of the treatment?

Please rest assured that our clinic’s doctors or nurses will perform the treatment.

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.
