nightlase® therapy for children

Improving Airway Health and Sleep Quality

Fotona technology is also used for NightLase® therapy — a non-invasive laser treatment that helps open the airway and reduce snoring or sleep-disordered breathing. This gentle procedure uses laser energy to tighten and tone the tissues in the throat, promoting better airflow during sleep.

Why NightLase for Kids?

Many children struggle with mouth breathing, snoring, restless sleep, or mild obstructive sleep apnea. NightLase may help by:

Improving nasal breathing
Reducing nighttime snoring
Enhancing oxygen flow for better sleep
Supporting jaw and facial development

The procedure is comfortable, requires no sedation, and can have a significant impact on a child’s quality of sleep and daytime focus.
