How It Works
Inlift laser snoring treatment uses a fractionated technology to gently heat the soft tissue in the mouth, throat and soft palate. This heating works to tighten this tissue whilst also stimulating collagen and elastin growth to strengthen the soft tissue. This growth makes the tissue less prone to prolapse and less likely to obstruct airflow, meaning less snoring.
What Causes Snoring?
Snoring is the sound that occurs from the vibration of soft tissue in the nose, back of the throat and roof of the mouth (soft palate).
This vibration is due to the relaxed tissue obstructing the free flow of air through the mouth and nasal passages. Snoring is common and can be triggered by lack of sleep, alcohol use and smoking.
