Improve Airflow and Sleep Quality
Our laser soft palate tightening treatment uses advanced laser technology to gently heat and tighten the tissues of the soft palate. This non-surgical approach reduces excess vibration and tissue sagging that contribute to snoring and airway obstruction. Patients experience a quick, comfortable procedure with no downtime and lasting improvements to their breathing and sleep quality.
Minimally Invasive
No surgery or extended recovery time required.
Reduced Snoring
Decreased tissue vibration leads to quieter, more restful sleep.
Quick and Effective
Sessions are efficient, with noticeable results over time.
Targeted Precision
Laser soft palate tightening works by applying controlled laser energy to the tissues of the soft palate. The heat stimulates collagen production and tissue tightening, reducing the sagging and vibration that can obstruct your airway. This quick, outpatient procedure can be performed comfortably in-office.
Quiet, Restful Nights
Snoring often results from the vibration of the soft palate tissues during sleep. By tightening these tissues, our laser treatment reduces snoring, leading to quieter and more restorative sleep for both you and your partner.
Comfort Without Compromise
Unlike traditional surgical options, laser soft palate tightening requires no incisions or extended recovery time. Patients can resume their regular activities immediately after treatment, making it an ideal option for those seeking effective, minimally invasive care.
Ongoing Improvement
Laser soft palate tightening stimulates collagen remodeling, which continues to improve tissue structure over time. With consistent care and maintenance, patients can enjoy lasting relief from snoring and improved airway function for a healthier life.

Your questions answered
What is laser soft palate tightening?
This treatment uses controlled laser energy to tighten the tissues of the soft palate, reducing snoring and improving airflow without surgery.
Is the procedure painful?
No, laser soft palate tightening is minimally invasive and typically causes little to no discomfort. Most patients find it to be a comfortable, quick procedure.
How long does the treatment take?
The procedure is usually completed within 30 minutes, and there is no downtime afterward.
How many sessions are needed?
Typically patients see noticeable improvement after only 1-2 10 minute sessions.
Is laser soft palate tightening safe?
Yes, it is a low-risk, non-invasive procedure performed by trained professionals using precise laser technology. In fact, it was developed as a treatment to avoid the previously painful and slow recovery of the Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) that had to be completed inside hospitals.
Can this treatment help with sleep apnea?
While it is primarily used to reduce elongations of the soft palate, laser soft palate tightening may also provide relief for certain cases of mild sleep apnea and reduce snoring. A consultation will determine the best approach for your needs.
Will I experience immediate results?
Some patients notice immediate improvement, while others experience gradual results as collagen remodeling occurs.
Is there any downtime or recovery needed?
No, patients can typically resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
How long do the results last?
Results can last for an extended period, especially with proper follow-up care and maintenance as needed.
Who is a good candidate for this treatment?
This treatment is suitable for individuals with elongated soft palates and symptoms of mild to moderate snoring caused by soft palate vibration. A consultation is necessary to determine candidacy.
