NightLase® Laser Snoring Treatment in Seattle & Bellevue
A Gentle, Non-Invasive Way to Stop Snoring
If snoring is affecting your sleep or your relationship, NightLase might be the solution. At Washington Center for Sleep, we offer NightLase laser therapy — a painless, in-office treatment that reduces snoring by tightening tissues in the airway. No surgery. No downtime. No device to wear at night.
What Is NightLase and How Does It Work?
NightLase is a non-surgical laser treatment that targets the soft tissues of the throat and soft palate — the most common source of snoring. Using a gentle, warming laser, the treatment stimulates collagen remodeling, which helps tighten and tone the airway to reduce vibration and tissue collapse.
No anesthesia or recovery time
Completely comfortable — feels like a warm sensation
Takes just 20–30 minutes per session
Results often noticeable after the first visit
Most patients complete the full protocol in just three short visits over 6 weeks.
Who Is NightLase For?
NightLase is ideal for people who:
Snore loudly but don’t have sleep apnea
Snore even with an oral appliance
Can’t tolerate CPAP or prefer a device-free solution
Want to improve their breathing and sleep without surgery
Have been told they "stop breathing at night" but haven’t yet done a sleep study
We recommend an initial consult or home sleep test to determine if NightLase is right for you or if another treatment like an oral appliance would be more appropriate.
What Results Can I Expect?
Patients typically report:
Reduced or eliminated snoring
Better sleep quality for themselves and their partners
More restful breathing through the night
No downtime or side effects
NightLase is not a cure for sleep apnea — but it’s a great option for:
Non-apnea snorers
Patients with mild upper airway resistance
Oral appliance users who want even better results
It can also be combined with other treatments like oral appliances or lifestyle changes for maximum benefit.
What Is the NightLase Treatment Process?
Initial evaluation to determine if you’re a candidate
Three short sessions (20–30 minutes each) over 6–8 weeks
No downtime — you can return to work or normal life immediately
Optional annual maintenance session if snoring gradually returns
You’ll notice gradual improvement after each session, with full results typically seen a few weeks after the third treatment.
Is NightLase Covered by Insurance?
Because NightLase is considered a non-medical, elective treatment, it is not covered by medical or dental insurance. However, many patients feel the improvement in sleep quality and relationships is well worth the cost.

NightLase Laser Snoring Treatment – FAQs
1. Does NightLase hurt?
Not at all. Patients describe the feeling as a warm, gentle sensation — no anesthesia or numbing required.
2. How many treatments do I need?
A complete NightLase protocol involves 3 short sessions over about 6 weeks for optimal results.
3. Is NightLase permanent?
Results typically last 12–18 months. We offer optional maintenance sessions if snoring gradually returns.
4. Can NightLase treat sleep apnea?
NightLase helps reduce airway collapse and snoring but is not a replacement for full sleep apnea treatment. We may recommend combining it with an oral appliance if apnea is diagnosed.
5. Is NightLase covered by insurance?
No — NightLase is considered an elective, out-of-pocket treatment. Our pricing is transparent, and financing options are available.
