Treatment for Snoring Patient Brochure.


Snoring is the noise caused by air attempting to flow past the airway’s blockage. In many cases, the noise can fully or partially be traced to the soft palate – the area located on the roof of your mouth between the hard palate and the uvula. With Coblation®, your doctor quickly and effectively removes and shrinks excess tissue with a specially designed device applied to the soft palate. Coblation treatment for snoring is a quick, outpatient procedure that takes less than 10 minutes to perform.

Coblation is not a heat-driven process. As a result, surrounding healthy tissue is preserved allowing for a fast and easy recovery. Patients typically return home shortly after the procedure, and can experience a noticeable snoring improvement within one to four weeks.
