Snoring treatment: what solution?

Snoring impacts your quality of life and that of your loved ones. Here is an innovative solution to stop snoring. Enter the Apogee Clinic, a very luxurious private medical establishment, in which medical requirements and patient comfort are at the heart of concerns.

What is snoring?

Snoring is like a rattle that occurs during sleep, when breathing in air. This noise is nothing more than a vibration of the tissues, at the level of the throat and the palate.

It may be of greater or lesser intensity. In people whose snoring is mild, the sound emitted only reaches 40 to 45 decibels. But for others, it is more comparable to engine noise. And that can get really awkward.

As a bonus, these sound vibrations can be accompanied by other disorders, such as headaches.

They sometimes reflect sleep apnea.

Snoring treatment without surgery

Have you ever heard of Fotona NightLase® technology? It helps to reduce vibrations and reduces snoring effectively.

Clinique Apogee practitioners have the know-how and the medical platform to offer you this type of treatment.

The Fotona NightLase® is equipped with an Er laser. Its application provides heat in the throat which:

Helps tissue contract

Stimulates collagen production

Firms the tissues.

Throat tissue thus regains its tone and the vibrations attributed to snoring are effectively reduced.

In addition, this solution remains completely painless. In general, our patients experience nothing more than a simple sensation of heat.

In addition, this non-invasive treatment does not require anesthesia. You will therefore be able to resume your activities as soon as you leave our clinic.

On average, after 3 to 5 laser sessions spaced about 1 month apart, your snoring has greatly decreased in intensity.

Symptoms/Indications

Snoring is like a rattle that occurs during sleep, when breathing in air. This noise is nothing more than a vibration of the tissues, at the level of the throat and the palate.

It may be of greater or lesser intensity. In people whose snoring is mild, the sound emitted only reaches 40 to 45 decibels. But for others, it is more comparable to engine noise. And that can get really awkward.

Causes

• Age, a factor involved in snoring

Age is, of course, criminalized. Over time, throat tissue is less toned. Snoring is then more important and more frequent.

• The sleeping position

The relaxation of its tissues also favors these more or less important rales. Certain postures during sleep are thus likely to obstruct the airways more and cause more excessive snoring.

• Other causes of snoring

Obesity or excess weight induces the formation of adipose tissue. These then partially obstruct the airways. Alcohol or sedatives are also carriers of snoring.

The air remains partially blocked in certain allergies, nasal or respiratory diseases. This causes significant snoring. For people with sleep apnea syndrome, it can even be the cause of respiratory arrest that goes even further.

Finally, a mouth that is too narrow or a tongue that is too large can be responsible for this type of growl.

Certainly, snoring is still a benign condition that often does not bother the person who makes the noise. On the other hand, it can cause significant harm to your partner. So what should we do?

The experts at Clinique Apogee have developed a cutting-edge technique to put an end to these unsightly rales.

FAQs

To answer your questions, we have put together clear and precise answers here. Explore our FAQ to discuss your experience with confidence.

How does a snoring treatment session take place at Clinique Apogee?

Enter the premises of the Apogee Clinic for a first session and let yourself be carried away. One of our doctors offers you the warmest welcome in our refined and luxurious space. He dialogues with you and listens to you, in order to know your motivations and expectations. He will examine you to see if our anti-snoring treatment suits your needs. If this is the case, our practitioner creates a care plan adapted to your situation. Each laser session then lasts between 20 and 30 minutes. The device is inserted directly into your throat, in order to contract the muscles responsible for your snoring in an optimal way.

Does this anti-snoring treatment apply to patients who have sleep apnea?

Absolutely. This laser can even permanently alleviate disorders related to sleep apnea.

What is the average number of sessions to effectively limit snoring?

On average, after 3 to 5 laser sessions, your snoring decreases sharply in intensity. But, after examining you, our expert estimates the number of appointments more accurately.

What are the other laser alternatives?

If your snoring is still mild or moderate, there are other anti-snoring solutions: When nasal obstruction is due to simple congestion, using a nasal spray can help you unblock your airways. Our doctors also advise all of our patients to sleep on their side. This position can thus prevent or limit these rales during the night. In fact, throat tissue is less obstructive to the passage of air. The mandibular extension brace remains an excellent solution. This custom orthosis clears the airways. It thus prevents the air from being blocked. But the NightLase® laser remains one of the most durable and effective solutions for treating snoring without surgery.
