Snoring and Apnea TreatmentNightLase®

The NightLase® Laser operates by inducing a tightening effect in the mucosa of the pharyngeal (throat) region. This is initiated by the initial denaturalization of collagen in the throat, followed by the generation of fresh collagen. This process serves to tighten the throat muscles, consequently expanding the airway space.

If Snoring or Sleep Apnea are stopping you (or your loved one) from getting a good night’s rest, arrange a consultation with Dr. Yankie to see if Fotona’s NightLase® is right for you.

Fotona’s patented Er:YAG laser modality optimizes the length of laser pulses, allowing for the safe penetration of heat into the oral mucosa tissue.  It is gentle enough to be used on the sensitive tissue inside the mouth, but strong enough to provide clinically efficacious heating.

In the hands of a skilled profesional, NightLase® is easy to perform and has a high success rate in producing a positive change in sleep patterns.  Research has shown that NightLase® reduces and attenuates snoring and provides an effective, non-invasive way to lessen the effects of sleep apnea.

Pucker Up Baby!

Through the Fotona SMOOTH® modality Er:YAG, patients experience an immediate and noticeable enhancement. Unlike injectable fillers, the LipLase® treatment is non-invasive, allowing patients to naturally produce their own collagen in their lips. By conducting multiple precisely calibrated passes, the treatment can achieve the hallmarks of ‘ideal lips’, including fullness, volume, a harmonious balance between upper and lower lips, and a well-defined vermilion border.

To stimulate collagen at an even deeper level, the Nd:YAG laser in PIANO mode is employed. This mode offers the utmost safety in reaching deeper skin tissues, while exerting minimal thermal impact on the surface.  The laser treatment promotes superficial and deep dermal collagen production using heat, which causes a volumizing effect and a tightening of the skin around the lips, to form a fuller, firmer shape. It can be used on its own to “define the shape, volumize, and retexturize as well as in combination with other perioral treatments and enhancements.

What is SmoothEye®?

This procedure notably rejuvenates sagging, mature skin around the eyelids and periocular region, offering minimal downtime and ensuring maximum patient comfort. It comes as no surprise that this non-invasive cosmetic treatment is highly coveted.

Following several treatment sessions, patients can anticipate enhanced skin elasticity, improved structural integrity, increased volume, and a noteworthy reduction in wrinkles.
