Laser-Assisted Tonsil Ablation for Sleep Apnea & Snoring in New York City

EOS 21

What is Laser Tonsil Ablation?

Laser-assisted tonsil ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces the size of the tonsils using laser technology instead of surgery. The treatment opens up the airway and provides relief from symptoms of snoring and sleep apnea. A laser-assisted tonsil ablation is an in-office procedure that usually takes less than 30 minutes and performed using local anesthesia.

What Conditions Can Laser Tonsil Ablation Treat?

Laser-assisted tonsil ablation is used to treat the following conditions:

  • Chronically infected tonsils
  • Tonsil stones
  • Enlarged tonsils
  • Snoring
  • Sleep apnea caused by enlarged tonsils

What Does Laser Tonsil Ablation Involve?

Using laser technology, the tonsils are targeted to vaporize their outer surfaces. The treatment reduces the size of the tonsils and eliminates any infections that may be present. The precision and control afforded by the state-of-the-art laser technology minimize damage to surrounding tissue and result in faster recovery.
