Understanding Snoring
It’s hard to miss the sound of your partner snoring in the calm of night. But how and why does it occur? A person snores when air moves past relaxed throat tissues during sleep, causing them to vibrate and produce sounds like grunts or snorts. Aside from being an annoyance, snoring can lead to symptoms such as an irritated throat, sleep disruptions, daytime fatigue, and tension headaches. Snoring can disrupt the deep and REM stages of sleep that are critical for physical and mental rejuvenation and restoration.
Snoring is sometimes a symptom of serious sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea. This is especially true if a snorer also experiences pauses in breathing, choking and gasping sounds, and restless sleep.
Introducing Solea Sleep: A Revolutionary Snoring Solution
Solea Sleep is an innovative snoring solution that involves a 5-minute laser treatment for rapid snoring relief. The non-invasive procedure comes with no discomfort or downtime, providing lasting relief without interrupting your busy routine.
But how does Solea Sleep work for snoring? Most people who snore are palatal snorers, meaning they snore due to the vibration of the tissues in the soft palate that are relaxed during sleep. Our Solea device emits laser energy, quickly and gently contracting and tightening the collagen fibers in the soft palate. The quick and gentle treatment allows for a more open airway and minimizes the vibrations that cause snoring.
Solea Sleep provides rapid relief, significantly reducing or even eliminating snoring. Patients experience better quality sleep and increased daytime energy. It’s important to note that while Solea Sleep helps relieve snoring, it is not a treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, a potentially serious condition characterized by pauses in breathing that may occur dozens or even hundreds of times during sleep.
What Can You Expect During Treatment?
Dr. Nallasamy will evaluate your medical history and unique needs before starting treatment. The procedure itself is typically quick, taking a few minutes to complete. We’ll begin by numbing the area with a topical anesthetic spray to ensure your comfort before applying the laser energy to your soft palate. Most patients feel nothing during the procedure, while some report a mild sensation of warmth.
There is typically minimal to no discomfort after the procedure, with some experiencing mild soreness or irritation for a short time. While treatment results can vary from person to person, most patients experience a significant reduction in snoring immediately following the procedure.
The results of Solea treatment last about 12-15 months, after which the tissues relax once again, and the snoring gradually returns. To maintain consistent, long-term results, we typically recommend a Solea Sleep treatment to be performed once a year.
