Snoring can be extremely troublesome for not only the patient, but for their sleeping partners. Additionally, snoring may be an indication of a much bigger problem that is present, including obstructive sleep apnea. Dr. Anna Petropoulos of the Center for Classic Beauty in Danvers, MA is excited to offer a solution for snorers with this sleeping condition known as Somnoplasty.
What is Somnoplasty?
Dr. Anna Petropoulos describes Somnoplasty as a safe, effective, and minimally-invasive solution for patients with chronic snoring or obstructive sleep apnea. This treatment uses a specialized device that emits radio frequency energy at the base of the tongue. This treatment reduces the tissue at the base of the tongue and stiffens it, providing a 55% reduction in snoring and obstruction.
Why choose Somnoplasty?
Somnoplasty is a specialized procedure for patients with obstructive sleep apnea and snoring that eliminates the need for more traditional treatments such as special oral appliances or CPAP (constant positive airway pressure) machines. This treatment eliminates the need for these extra appliances and tools and provides a more natural improvement. It is also beneficial in patients who have habitual snoring and chronic nasal obstruction that contributes to snoring. Once patients have had Somnoplasty done and the tongue has tightened, they can enjoy a deeper, more restorative level of sleep they need to feel and function at their best each day. Their sleeping partners may also experience better, more restful sleep as well!
Am I a candidate for Somnoplasty?
Patients who are chronic snorers or who have been diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea by their primary doctor may be considered appropriate candidates for Somnoplasty treatment. The best way to determine this is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Anna Petropoulos for a full evaluation and examination.
