Fotona NightLase®
Dive into the Tech
Fotona NightLase® leverages patented Er:YAG laser in non-ablative Fotona SMOOTH® mode to deliver gentle, controlled thermal energy to oral soft tissues. This stimulates collagen contraction and neocollagenesis, leading to tissue tightening and increased airway patency. The precise wavelength and pulse structure ensure effective treatment with minimal discomfort and no ablation.
How it Works
Step 1
Prepares the tissue by gradually increasing its temperature in a controlled and non-invasive manner.
Step 2
Stimulates the tissue’s structural framework, promoting tightening of the oral mucosa, particularly in areas involved in airway collapse, and reducing snoring.

Scientific & Clinical Research
NightLase®: Minimally Invasive Laser-Assisted Uvulopalatoplasty
This study highlights the use of Nd:YAG and Er:YAG laser systems to reduce symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing.
Treatment of Snoring with the NightLase® Protocol in a Dental Office Setting
This study reviews the scientific literature on the efficacy of non-ablative Er:YAG laser treatment for snoring disorder and presents the results from a series of patients who underwent the NightLase® protocol in Oporto, Portugal.
Er:YAG Laser Treatment of Sleep-Disordered Breathing
This clinical study confirms that Fotona NightLase® is a safe and efficient method for significant snoring reduction.
Nonsurgical Minimally Invasive Er:YAG Laser Snoring Treatment
This study confirmed that performing a non-ablative, minimally invasive Er:YAG treatment of the oral mucosa (the Fotona NightLase® treatment) results in collagen shrinkage and neo-collagenesis, which change the throat configuration and consequently reduce snoring.
