What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a disorder where your breathing stops while you are sleeping. When you stop breathing, you gasp, snort or choke. Your brain responds by waking you up.

In mild cases, your sleep will be disrupted and you'll be tired the next day. With more severe cases, sleep apnea can become a life-threatening condition because it deprives your body of oxygen. Contact our snoring specialist in Pittsburgh, PA if you experience any symptoms.

Gasping for air during sleep

Is Solea Sleep Treatment Painful?

No. The majority of patients report not feeling anything during the Solea Sleep procedure, while some report only a slight warm sensation. Before the procedure we apply a topical anesthetic spray to the soft palate to eliminate any discomfort or potential gagging. After treatment you may experience some minor tissue soreness or irritation that lasts about 24 hours.

How Long Do Solea Sleep Treaments for Sleep Apnea Last?

Solea Sleep results lasts on average 12 to 15 months. As with any procedure involving the tightening of elastic tissue, results are not permanent as collagen in the tissue naturally relaxes or loosens over time. For consistent long-term results we recommend that the Solea Sleep procedure be performed once a year.
