What causes snoring? When air is not able to move freely through your nose and mouth during sleep due to a narrowing of the airway, this causes the tissues to vibrate, making the "snoring" sound. In extreme cases the airway becomes blocked and is called obstructive sleep apnea. Other factors that contribute to snoring include age, nasal/sinus problems, being overweight, alcohol, smoking, medications, and sleep posture. Nightlase by Wellness Diagnostics and Medispa in Temecula, CA is a simple and effective noninvasive laser procedure for the treatment of snoring. For this treatment laser energy is used to heat the tissues of the airway, which causes a tightening effect to help keep the airway open. The treatment takes approximately 15 minutes, is comfortable, and has no downtime. A series of three treatments is recommended spaced over two months. More
