Many of my patients come to the clinic having
suffered for a long time. They may have tried lots of different remedies to reduce or stop
their snoring, usually without success. In my experience far too many patients attend the
clinics having put up with sleep problems for years'. Kate Hill - R.G.N Dip Nurse

The
Problem
We are a nation of snorers. The lives of one in three men and one in ten women are
blighted by their own nocturnal rumblings, which in the most extreme cases can reach 90
decibels - as loud as a passing train.
But while others may joke about it, the effects of snoring can be both distressing and
serious.
Apart from daytime tiredness, which is particularly risky to drivers, pilots and anyone
operating machinery, it can also adversely affect the libido.
Worse still, without effective treatment, snoring can have a seriously damaging effect on
marriages and relationships.
The tragedy is that this common medical condition can easily be treated by a simple 30
minute laser-assisted technique under local anaesthetic. |

Patients Comments
Sleep Apnea |
The Private Clinic has pioneered the most successful non- invasive medical treatments for
snoring and has treated thousands of patients since 1983.
Our team of ENT specialists have a number of ways to treat snoring. Two target the main
culprit of snoring –excess vibration of the soft palate and uvula (the stalactite of
flesh at the back of the throat).
The third treatment unblocks the nose, another common cause of snoring. |

Laser Assisted Uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP)
It was in 1984 that Dr Yves-Victor Kamami, the world's leading authority in this field,
first experimented with the same laser technique he had been developing for problematic
tonsils in an effort to combat the problem of snoring.
Having removed the vibrating soft tissue on the sides of the uvula, which hangs at the
back of the throat, and produces the snoring sound, he perfected the technique of
reshaping the uvula area.
Laser Assisted Uvulopalatoplasty, or LAUP, is a simple procedure under local anaesthetic.
The patient sits comfortably in a chair as if at the dentist, while the surgeon remodels
the uvula and removes the excess vibrating soft tissue around it, using a laser beam.
Studies have shown that the resulting freeing of the airways and increased oxygen supply
can also improve quality of life, bringing more refreshing sleep, lifted mood, more
energy, better memory and even improved libido...
  
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Bipolar
RFITT radio frequency treatment
Increasingly popular is a short, gentle, treatment that uses a current to tighten the
uvula area, so that it vibrates far less during sleep.
The amazing new bipolar radio frequency thermotherapy (RFITT) treatment involves numbing
the back of the throat with a local anaesthetic and targeting it with a slim pen that
emits a radio frequency.
The heat causes the muscle within the soft palate to tighten and it continues to do in the
weeks following treatment, with the maximum benefit achieved after six months.
This treatment is most suitable for those with smaller throats and can also be used on
enlarged tonsils.
Blocked Nose
If your nose tends to block at night this can increase a tendency to snore.
Laser treatment under local anaesthetic can be used to remove the problem in minutes and
restore a fully working airway.
This minimally invasive form of keyhole surgery can reduce enlarged fleshy ridges or
'turbinate' at the entrance to the sinuses, or correct a deviated septum (a buckled
partition between the two nostrils).
There is no bleeding, and you can go straight back to work afterwards.

'High Maintenance Woman snores no more.'
After reading the clinic's brochure Kitty felt momentarily comforted - apparently one in
10 women and one in three men snore. Safety in numbers, maybe, but there was no escaping
the fact that while it is acceptable, and even expected, for some boys to wheeze, growl
and honk their way through a deep slumber, it is simply not on or, as one of her lovers
had so cruelly put it, 'frankly quite frightening' for girls to snore. Time for action.
The Sleep Clinic had ways of curtailing unladylike rumbling.
