Question 1

How does Fotona NightLase reduce snoring and sleep apnea?

Accepted Answer

NightLase uses Er:YAG laser energy in SMOOTH mode to gently heat the soft tissue at the back of the throat — the soft palate and uvula. This controlled heating causes collagen contraction and stimulates new collagen production, which tightens the airway and reduces the tissue flaccidity that causes snoring and airway obstruction during sleep. The treatment is completely non-invasive: no anaesthesia, no incisions, no downtime.

Question 2

Is NightLase a cure for sleep apnea?

Accepted Answer

NightLase is an effective treatment for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Clinical studies have demonstrated significant reduction in snoring amplitude and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) scores. It is not a permanent cure — results typically last 12-18 months before a maintenance session is needed. For severe sleep apnea, we recommend consulting a sleep specialist alongside NightLase treatment.

Question 3

How many NightLase sessions are needed?

Accepted Answer

A standard NightLase course consists of 3 sessions spaced 3 weeks apart. Most patients notice improvement in snoring after the first or second session, with the full result apparent 4-6 weeks after completing the course. A maintenance session every 12-18 months sustains the result.

Question 4

What is Fotona LipLase?

Accepted Answer

LipLase is a Fotona Er:YAG laser protocol that stimulates collagen production in and around the lips — producing a natural plumping, definition, and rejuvenation effect without injectables. The laser energy heats the lip tissue to trigger collagen synthesis, gradually increasing lip volume and improving the lip border. Results are subtle and natural-looking, building progressively over several weeks.

Question 5

How long does LipLase last?

Accepted Answer

LipLase results develop over 4-6 weeks after each session and typically last 6-12 months before a top-up is recommended. Unlike filler, results are gradual and natural — the lips are stimulated to produce their own collagen rather than having volume added externally.

Question 6

How many LipLase sessions are needed?

Accepted Answer

Most patients see meaningful results after 3-4 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart. A course of sessions produces more lasting collagen stimulation than a single treatment. Maintenance sessions every 6-12 months sustain the result.

Question 7

Is there any downtime for NightLase or LipLase?

Accepted Answer

Neither treatment requires any downtime. NightLase is performed inside the mouth and patients return to normal activities immediately — including eating and drinking. LipLase may cause mild temporary redness or swelling of the lips for a few hours. Both are comfortable, quick treatments that can be completed during a lunch break.

Question 8

Can NightLase and LipLase be combined?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both protocols use the same Fotona Er:YAG platform and can be performed in the same session. Patients who are treating snoring with NightLase often add LipLase for additional rejuvenation in the same appointment.
