NightLase® Snoring Treatment
NightLase® in Sarasota: Laser Treatment for Snoring
NightLase® is a quick, minimally invasive Fotona laser treatment that firms the soft tissue at the back of the throat to reduce snoring, so you, and whoever shares your room, can sleep better.
The Treatment
How NightLase works
A lot of snoring comes from loose soft tissue at the back of the throat vibrating as you breathe. NightLase uses an Er:YAG laser in Fotona’s SMOOTH® mode to gently heat the soft palate and the area around the tonsils.
The heat tightens the tissue, which reduces vibration and helps keep the airway open. The treatment is designed to be gentle on delicate tissue in the mouth while delivering enough heat for a real change.
NightLase is part of our snoring treatment services.
What to Expect
A simple, patient-friendly plan
Three short sessions
Treatment usually consists of three sessions spaced about a month apart.
About 30 minutes
Each session takes around half an hour, with no special preparation, no anesthesia and no downtime.
Results that build
Some patients notice a difference after the first session. Full results develop over the following weeks as collagen builds in the treated tissue.

NightLase and sleep apnea
NightLase is recommended when snoring comes from tissue vibration in the throat. If you have, or may have, obstructive sleep apnea, NightLase can support your other treatment, but it does not replace CPAP, an oral appliance or care from a sleep specialist. Dr. Michael will ask about your symptoms and may suggest a sleep evaluation first.
