Laser treatment and somnoplasty are two of the most effective minimally invasive treatments available for snoring. Dr. McMahan performs these procedures right here in our office, and each can take as little as 30 minutes. Better yet, these procedures allow patients to resume normal activities immediately. The only side effect is a temporary mild sore throat. After either of these procedures, patients report that their snoring is either significantly reduced or completely eliminated. | ©2007 | | Northwestern Nasal + Sinus
