- Firing a laser into the throat may help banish snoring by warming up soft tissue and making it firmer, reducing vibrations during sleep.
- In a recent trial with over 70 snorers, around 70% of participants stopped snoring after three laser sessions.
- The new Yag laser treatment uses low temperatures to avoid side effects like bleeding and scarring.
- Results showed that 68.4% of patients no longer snored, with 31.6% having slight improvements.
- The treatment stimulates an increase in fibroblasts and collagen production, stiffening soft tissue and reducing collapse during sleep.
