Snoring can be frustrating for the snorer and infuriating for anyone who suffers sleepless nights when sharing a bed with someone who snores. But did you know that snoring can also be sign of a more serious condition? Snoring occurs when the flow of air through the mouth and nose is physically obstructed.
Sleep apnea is characterised by brief pauses in breathing or instances of abnormally shallow or infrequent breathing during sleep. During these pauses in breathing, or apnea, there’s a drop in blood oxygen levels, an increase in heart rate, a burst of stress hormones (called cortisol) all resulting in disrupted sleep.

It reduces snoring intensity and the effects of sleep apnea with a simple, pain-free, laser treatment. The procedure involves no anaesthesia and requires no drugs to be administered.
