Snoring
Snoring is far more than an inconvenient nighttime noise it is a disruptive, relationship-straining, and health-affecting condition that impacts the quality of sleep, energy, mood, and overall wellbeing of both the snorer and everyone who shares their space. Caused by the vibration of relaxed soft tissue in the throat and soft palate during sleep, snoring ranges from mild and occasional to chronic and severe and in its most significant form, can be associated with obstructive sleep apnoea, a serious medical condition that causes repeated interruptions to breathing during sleep. With today's advanced non-surgical laser treatments, meaningful and lasting reduction in snoring is not only possible, it is one of the most life-changing and relationship-restoring results in modern aesthetic and wellness medicine.
It is caused by the vibration of relaxed soft tissue in the throat as the muscles of the soft palate, uvula, and throat relax during sleep, the airway narrows and the passage of air causes these tissues to vibrate, producing snoring.
It can be harmless but may signal an issue if it disrupts sleep.
Snoring can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnoea, a serious medical condition characterised by repeated interruptions to breathing during sleep.
