Laser snoring reduction
ROMEO® is the first fractional treatment to reduce snoring, and it requires no local anesthesia, and there is no post-procedure downtime.
The ROMEO® treatment strengthens the structure of the soft palate and the uvula. The result is achieved by using fractional laser therapy, which causes microscopic damage to the mucosal membrane. As a result, the soft palate is tightened and stabilized while breathing.
ROMEO® represents a fast, painless and effective treatment for patients who do not wish an invasive treatment or in cases where other treatment methods already failed.
Romeo laser treatment does not guarantee a complete cessation of snoring, but a reduction of it. A common benefit of the treatment is better, peaceful and quality sleep, without waking up in the night. It also reduces other indirect consequences of snoring, such as headaches, poor concentration and irritability.
