What Is Fotona NightLase and How Can It Help with Snoring?

If you or someone you love struggles with snoring or interrupted sleep, it can affect more than just your rest — it can impact energy levels, relationships, and long-term health.

At Platinum Cosmetics, we offer Fotona NightLase as a non-invasive, pain-free laser treatment that helps reduce snoring and improve sleep quality — without devices, medication or surgery.

Here’s what you need to know.

What Causes Snoring?

Snoring typically occurs when the airway is partially blocked, often due to soft tissue at the back of the throat vibrating during sleep.

Common causes include:

• Laxity in the soft palate and uvula

• Age-related tissue changes

• Sleep position

• Alcohol or muscle relaxation

NightLase targets the root issue — tissue laxity — by tightening and strengthening the airway using gentle laser heat.

How Does NightLase Work?

NightLase uses Fotona’s Er:YAG laser in a specific mode that:

• Gently heats the soft tissue in the throat and palate

• Stimulates new collagen production

• Improves tone and firmness of the airway structures

This results in a wider, more open airway, reducing the vibration that causes snoring.

What Is the Treatment Like?

• No needles, no anaesthetic

• Comfortable warming sensation (some describe it like a hot spoon on the roof of the mouth)

• No downtime — you can return to normal activities immediately

• Each session takes around 20–30 minutes

How Many Sessions Do You Need?

NightLase works best as a course of 3 treatments, spaced 3 weeks apart.

Improvements often begin after the first session, with snoring typically reduced significantly by the end of the course.

Maintenance sessions may be recommended every 6–12 months depending on the individual.

Who Can Benefit from NightLase?

This treatment is ideal for:

• Light to moderate snorers

• People who don’t tolerate CPAP or oral devices

• Anyone seeking a natural, low-disruption option for sleep improvement

NightLase is not a cure for obstructive sleep apnoea, but it can support better breathing and quality of life for many people.
