CO2 laser therapy for soft tissue surgical and non-surgical therapy along with oropharyngeal fractional ablation for the improvement of the airway.
Lasers have proven to improve the outcomes in many aspects of oral health. The advancement of different delivery methods of laser energy have made outcomes more affective and efficient.
Fractional CO2 ablation of the soft palate and oropharyngeal walls has changed the way we manage and reduce snoring. Treatments with QuietNite therapy have shown to not only decrease snoring, but also improve the nasal/oropharyngeal connection and allow a significant improvement in airflow. The immediate change via neo-collagenesis of the oropharyngeal wall reduces resistance and improves airflow with long lasting improvements.
CO2 laser energy is extremely versatile in the treatment of soft issue therapy ranging from biopsies, surgical excisions, frenectomies and tongue tie release procedures. Most anything soft tissue can have an improved outcome when utilizing CO2 laser techniques.
