Introduction: A Fresh New Approach to Combat Snoring
Snoring disrupts sleep and health for many people. The sounds prevent restorative sleep, negatively impacting energy levels. Thankfully, a new snoring treatment called
SnorEx® provides hope for reducing or eliminating snoring.
What is the SnorEx® Procedure?
Developed by Dr. Marc Kayem,
SnorEx® tightens the soft palate using a unique stitch technique. The soft palate is the tissue at the back of the mouth and throat. When it vibrates during sleep, it causes snoring. The
SnorEx® stitch stiffens the soft palate over time, reducing vibration and snoring.
How Does SnorEx® Work?
Dr. Kayem places a dissolvable stitch in the soft palate during the procedure. As it heals, collagen grows around the stitch, tightening the tissue. Scar tissue also develops, further stiffening the soft palate. This reduces the vibration and fluttering that creates snoring.
In addition, SnorEx® utilizes a product applied to the soft palate to stimulate tissue stiffening. The combined effects of the stitch and stiffening product reduce snoring.
What Are the Benefits?
Patients report better sleep quality after SnorEx®. With reduced snoring, patients and partners enjoy uninterrupted, deeper sleep. Patients also have increased daytime energy.
Recovery and Results
Patients may experience mild throat discomfort after SnorEx®, resolving within days. The soft palate healing continues over the next weeks and months until snoring subsides. Patients see maximal results around 6 months post-procedure.
Who is a Good Candidate?
SnorEx® works well for primary snorers with soft palate vibration. Those with mild sleep apnea may also benefit. It is performed in-office, and no hospital stay is required.
Conclusion
For snorers struggling to find relief, SnorEx offers new hope. By targeting and tightening the primary source of snoring, SnorEx® provides lasting reduction. Consult your doctor to see if this innovative snoring solution suits you.
