About Snoring
Snoring occurs when the soft tissue in the back of the throat vibrates and closes off the airway. Although snoring can be joked about and is disruptive to a family, it is no laughing matter. Snoring can lead to or accompany a diagnosis of sleep apnea.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious condition when a person stops breathing several times a night, putting themselves at risk for many health consequences including heart attack and stroke. Dr. Sheahan has a safe, effective procedure that will reduce snoring and improve the quality of sleep — after just one treatment.
After a thorough exam and a low-exposure CT scan, Dr. Sheahan will determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. She may want you to complete a home sleep test — wearing a special ring on your finger as you sleep.
The treatment is painless, though patients may feel a warm sensation in their throat during the procedure. Side effects are minimal and patients can return to daily activities right away.
Learn About the Sleep StudyThe laser essentially tightens the collagen in the back of the throat, thereby reducing soft tissue collapsibility and snoring. This treatment can be repeated if needed but results usually last a year.
