For many people, quality of life and overall health are greatly impacted due to snoring. It can also have adverse consequences for intimate relationships, particularly if the snoring is loud and/or frequent. Fortunately, treatments are available to put a stop to this annoying problem and improve the quality and quantity of sleep for both parties in a relationship. Read this blog post to discover how Dr. Makadia helped this woman and her partner to find freedom from snoring.
The Case
The woman in this particular case was snoring over the years and found Dr. Makadia through online search. When she visited Dr. Makadia for a consultation, he listened carefully as she explained the situation.
This patient was snoring, according to her partner. Her family members had same snoring problem, but they were taking medications. She did not want to take medication due risk of side effects. She also did not want to use a CPAP machine because she had seen one of her family member using it and had found it to be very uncomfortable. She had searched for, talked to, and asked an ENT, but they were unable to help her.
After some online research, the woman found Dr. Makadia for snoring treatment/NightLase treatment by Fotona. This treatment is non-surgical and is done to treat the tissues. Dr. Makadia examined her throat and discussed her condition, how the treatment works, and other important aspects of the road ahead of her. She was ready to undergo this treatment and achieve better sleep for both, herself and her partner.
She was advised to have her snoring recorded. Initially, her score was in the range of 25 to 40 (this score is a measurement of how often and how loudly a person snores). After just three rounds of treatment, her score dropped dramatically, reaching the range of 3 to 15.
How NightLase Addresses Snoring
Traditional snoring treatments seek to keep the airway open through various means, but they are all extremely temporary. For example, a CPAP uses pressurized air to prevent snoring and pauses in breathing. NightLase is different because it addresses one of the primary causes of snoring — loose tissues in the throat.
NightLase uses a special laser to heat up the tissues in the throat. Their natural response is to tighten, which in turn reduces the chances that the tissues will over relax during the night and vibrate as air pushes past them. In as few as three to four treatments spread across two months, many patients notice a reduction in their symptoms by 50 – 90%.
Snoring can have a negative impact on sleep, health and intimate relationships. Fortunately, NightLase helped the woman in this case to break free — it may be able to help you as well!
