Radio wave snoring treatment
Palate surgery using an innovative method with radio waves provides relief and improves sleep quality
What is snoring and what can it lead to?
- Snoring is a symptom of sleep disorders, during which a sound is produced as a result of vibrations of relaxed muscles of the soft palate and throat as air passes through them.
Enlargement of the uvula and excessively lax, elongated soft palate promote the collapse of palate structures during sleep and lead to narrowing of the pharyngeal isthmus, which hinders breathing and disrupts airflow during sleep, causing the palate tissues to vibrate, resulting in snoring and sleep apnea, leading to hypoxia. This, in turn, can lead to diseases such as: diabetes, hypertension, heart attack, or even stroke.
- Snoring can cause sleep disturbances both for the person suffering from snoring and their partner.
Sleep disorders and sleep apnea most often cause feelings of fatigue and sleepiness during the day, despite a full night’s sleep. Susceptibility to health problems increases and quality of life deteriorates.
- In such cases, palate surgery using an innovative method with radio waves can be helpful.

Palate plastic surgery using radio waves
The most effective method for treating snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea is plastic surgery of the palate, uvula, and nasal conchae using an innovative method with radiofrequency (RF) waves.
What does the procedure involve?
The procedure involves using radio waves to narrow and strengthen the loose soft palate and throat tissues that may be responsible for blockages and vibrations causing snoring. By reducing tissue laxity, this procedure can help decrease the intensity of snoring or even eliminate it completely.
A small electrode generating electromagnetic waves at radio frequency is inserted into the treated tissues. During the procedure, the tissues contract, but full effects are achieved after about 2 months, once fibrosis and healing processes are complete.
