We've all been bothered by someone snoring before - it's no fun to listen to! Snoring isn't just a nuisance, it's bad for your airway health. Let us help you put snoring to rest!
Why is snoring bad for me?
Snoring is more than just bothersome - it's a sign that something isn't working properly. Snoring typically occurs when the tissues of the soft palate (roof of your mouth) vibrate as you breathe. Several factors can exacerbate snoring:
-
Weight gain
-
Age
-
Tongue position
-
Partially blocked airway
Snoring can negatively affect your sleep, causing daytime fatigue and affecting your quality of life.
How can I stop snoring?
Once the root cause of your snoring is determined, we can determine the right solution for you. This might include:
-
Lifestyle modification: reducing alcohol intake, losing weight and getting consistent sleep in a position designed to minimize snoring can all help
-
Solea Sleep: a revolutionary laser treatment that tightens the tissues of the soft palate to reduce vibration
-
Myofunctional therapy: if tongue position is the issue, the exercises in myofunctional therapy can help retrain the muscles and reduce snoring
-
Mandibular advancement device: especially useful if sleep apnea is the root cause of your snoring
How does Solea Sleep work?
The laser is used over 2-3 sessions to non-surgically manipulate the tissues of the soft palate, using a specific wavelength to tighten the collagen fibers within the tissue. Patients usually see results after just one 5 minute session!
