What is Fotona NightLase®?
Understanding the Causes Behind Snoring and Sleep Apnea — and How Fotona NightLase® Works to Treat Them
Snoring occurs when the soft tissues of the mouth, tongue, and throat relax during sleep, partially narrowing the airway. Factors such as nasal congestion, oral anatomy, sedatives, alcohol, smoking, and obesity can contribute to this condition.
Untreated snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can impact quality of life, causing daytime fatigue, morning headaches, irritability, dry mouth, and relationship strain. Studies also suggest links between snoring, OSA, and increased cardiovascular risks.
Fotona NightLase® gently tightens the oral mucosa by stimulating collagen contraction, reducing airway vibrations that cause snoring and supporting improved airflow. This treatment is non-invasive, requires no device to be worn during sleep, and avoids chemical or surgical interventions.
What is Fotona NightLase® Treatment Like?
Treatment sessions at Dr. A Clinic are performed by LCP-certified doctors in a fully licensed medical setting. You can expect a comfortable procedure with mild warmth or gentle tingling in the oral cavity.
Each session takes approximately 30 minutes, with minimal to no downtime. A typical course consists of 3 sessions over 6 weeks, with maintenance as advised by your doctor.
Patients often notice gradual improvement in sleep quality and reduced snoring over the treatment course.
What is Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro?
At Dr. A Clinic, we use the Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro — a premium, dual-wavelength laser system from Europe that powers our advanced, medical-grade skin treatments and is trusted worldwide for both aesthetic and regenerative care.
Nd:YAG wavelength
The Nd:YAG wavelength (≈ 1064 nm) is not used in the Fotona NightLase® protocol. However, it is a key component of the Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro system and is widely used in other treatments for deep tissue heating, collagen stimulation, and vascular targeting — especially for facial rejuvenation, skin tightening, and body contouring. Learn more about our other Fotona® treatment options that combine both Er:YAG and Nd:YAG wavelengths for layered skin benefits.
Er:YAG wavelength
The Er:YAG wavelength (≈ 2940 nm) is delivered in a non‑ablative SMOOTH® mode to gently heat the oral mucosal tissues. This controlled heating promotes collagen contraction and remodeling in the soft palate and adjacent tissues, helping to tighten the airway and reduce snoring — all while preserving the surface and avoiding damage.
This dual-wavelength laser system delivers controlled thermal energy deep into the oral tissues while protecting the delicate surface layer — making it one of the most advanced non-surgical solutions for reducing snoring and supporting better airway function. Its precision, consistency, and customisable energy levels set it apart from over-the-counter devices or home remedies.
At Dr. A Clinic, this medical-grade technology is used exclusively by our certified doctors to ensure every Fotona NightLase® session is performed safely, comfortably, and with maximum effectiveness.
