Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Treatments with Laser

Overview

About This Treatment

This non-surgical laser procedure targets soft tissues in the oropharyngeal area with the aim of supporting tissue firmness. It may help reduce snoring in some individuals with primary snoring. It is not a treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and does not replace medical assessment or CPAP/mandibular devices where indicated. The treatment works to: • Gently heat targeted tissues to support collagen activity and tissue firmness • Reduce vibration that may contribute to snoring in selected cases • Offer a non-surgical option with no downtime for appropriate candidates All new treatments at Olive Skin Aesthetics require an initial consultation to discuss suitability and treatment plans.
