At Dermapure Parksville, NightLase is offered as a non-invasive, patient-friendly laser treatment designed to reduce snoring and improve sleep quality. The procedure uses laser energy to gently heat and tighten the soft tissues of the throat, helping to keep the airway open during sleep. Comfortable and typically requiring no anesthesia, NightLase is performed over a series of sessions and is most effective for individuals with mild to moderate snoring or sleep apnea.
Snoring happens when airflow is partially blocked during sleep, causing tissues in the airway to vibrate and produce sound. This can be influenced by factors such as age, nasal or sinus issues, excess weight, alcohol, smoking, certain medications, and sleep position. Snoring may also indicate a more serious condition known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)—a disorder where breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and health risks over time.
NightLase therapy uses Fotona’s patented Er: YAG laser, which allows a safe penetration of heat into the oral mucosa tissue. It is gentle enough to be used on the sensitive tissue inside the mouth but strong enough to provide clinically efficacious heating. This non-invasive treatment increases the quality of a patient’s sleep, reduces the effects of sleep apnea, and decreases the amplitude of snoring.
The laser energy heats the airway tissues, promoting collagen production and causing tissue tightening. This process strengthens the tissues by boosting collagen, helping to keep the airways open during sleep. Unlike some treatments, NightLase doesn’t require you to use an oral appliance while sleeping and involves no chemical treatments. Each session lasts about 15 minutes and requires no anesthesia, allowing you to resume your daily routine immediately. Most patients notice results after just one session.
Simple and effective, NightLase works best for patients who experience increased snoring. After your full course of treatment, you should sleep better with no snoring for up to a year.

During your personalized assessment, you will meet with an expert physician to review your treatment goals and health history.
Before we begin treatment, we’ll review our consent forms with you and answer any questions you may have.
Your physician will use a laser at the back of your mouth to promote collagen restructuring in the appropriate area. You may feel a heating sensation, but the procedure is often painless.
NightLase treatments last approximately 15 minutes and require no downtime, allowing you to return to your normal routine following your appointment.
Treatment prices vary based on your individual needs and the specific procedure performed. To learn more about pricing, we invite you to contact your clinic or schedule a consultation with our experts.
NightLase requires three separate treatment sessions, spread over a six-week period. The final results can last up to a year, and the treatment can be repeated as needed.
We do not offer this treatment to those who are pregnant, have a disease of the throat or vocal cords, or have an acute throat infection.
