Unlike many Filipinos think, snoring is not a good sign of sleep. In
fact, snoring can be caused by different factors such as throat weakness,
misaligned jaw, accumulation of fat in and around the throat, touching tissues
on top of the throat airways, and wrong sleeping position i.e. lying on one’s
back.
Snoring can also be a sign of sleep apnea, a serious medical condition
whereby a person’s breathing involuntarily stops and deprive the body of the
oxygen it needs while the patient is asleep. A serious side effect of this
condition is sudden cardiac death.
While many hardworking people in the
Philippines suffer from snoring, including those who are indirectly affected by
snoring loved ones – treatments both surgical and mechanical like face masks or
dental appliance are not comfortable & easy solutions to many
Filipinos.
Luminisce
Holistic Skin Innovations introduces a non-surgical and painless laser treatment
for patients who suffer from snoring and sleep apnea. In photo: the Fotona
NightLase machine.
Luminisce Holistic Skin Innovations, a
boutique skin & laser clinic in Bonifacio Global City recently brought in
the latest in non-invasive, patient-friendly laser treatment to reduce snoring
and increase the quality of a patient’s sleep.
The innovative treatment is made possible by a machine called Fotona
NightLase. NightLase reduces the effects of sleep apnea and decreases the
amplitude of snoring by means of a gentle, laser-induced tightening effect
caused by the contraction of collagen in the oral mucosa tissue.
Unlike traditional treatments, Luminisce’s Fotona NightLase treatment does
not require surgery, injections, or devices to be worn during sleep and does not
involve chemical treatments. On average, the procedure will only require 15
minutes and a 50% reduction in snoring is achieved after a single session.
London trained Dra. Kristina Cuevas-Reyes of Luminisce Skin & Laser
Clinic recommends three 15-minute sessions done in the course of 2 months for
best results.
Luminisce Skin & Laser Clinic is located at 2/F Mercury Drug Building,
across St. Luke’s Medical Center-Global City, 32nd Street corner 4th Avenue,
Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. You can also book your Fotona NightLase treatment
