Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Laser Treatment in Melbourne

Obstructive airway disorders including heavy snoring and sleep apnoea are a contributor to a range of health problems. Obstructions are generally caused by mechanical issues when the muscles at the back of the throat relax during sleep, causing the airway to partially or fully blocked, resulting in the body not receiving enough oxygen and often leading to gasping, snoring and unwanted awakening.

Prevalence and Risk Factors

The condition is estimated to effect around 50% of men and 25% of women in Australia, and is particularly prevalent in people carrying excess weight. Without intervention, these issues have been linked to fatigue, obesity, elevated blood pressure, heart strain and increased risk of stroke. These interruptions to sleep not only impact the individual’s wellbeing, but also their partners and families.

How Can We Help?

If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnoea or experience heavy snoring, we can utilise our specialised soft-tissue lasers to perform what is known as photo-bio-modulation (PBM) or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) which can tighten the muscles at back of the throat, preventing or reducing the amount of airway obstruction during sleep.

We work in conjunction with sleep scientists to assist our patients in diagnosing their obstructive sleep disorder and also offer a range of additional treatments and appliances to treat the cause of sleep apnoea and snoring.
