You snore and you'd like to stop, or at least your spouse would love you to stop.
How can snoring implants help you with that? It appears that sleep apnea and snoring solutions are on the rise again and are being proclaimed and sold as NEW "cures", when in reality the information has been available for years.
Injecting a scarring agent into the soft palate eliminates snoring, reports a British doctor.
Sodium tetradecyl sulfate was the matter used for this purpose and it is the identical material that has been put to use to treat varicose veins for five decades by now.
Dr.
Eric Mair was the one to describe this procedure to cure snoring originally in 2001.
His report talked about an initial success rate of 92%, which during the next nineteen months dropped to a 75% average.
For the best results most people will need more than one injection; 2 - 3 injections usually do the job.
This procedure has been performed quite frequently with good results.
Then more sophisticated ways became available, and its use declined somewhat.
In as little as five minutes the procedure is done in the office.
Some topical anesthesia will be applied inside the mouth and with a very small needle a blister is created underneath the mucus membrane in the center of the soft palate.
A few weeks of healing later, tightening of the tissue and scarring will have occurred, stiffening the palate and thus reducing the palate's vibration, which make the snoring sound.
It may take a few weeks, even up to 2 - 3 months to see the end results and frequently the first procedure is followed up by one or two more to get best results.
Though most people won't need to take any pain medication after this procedure, there may be some mild discomfort in the throat initially.
Usually a pain reliever prescription will be given though, just in case it's needed.
It is very important to that the effect this procedure has is to stiffen the soft palate to reduce its vibrations.
This treatment reduces the snoring sound, it doesn't treat any underlying causes for snoring or obstructive sleep apnea.
So you should still get yourself checked out to see what is causing you to snore, since even conditions such as high blood pressure and express themselves through snoring.
Normally this procedure is a lot less costly than high tech treatments such as laser procedures or Pillar implants.
If you compare these injections to the Pillar procedure, you will end up going through more sessions with this one.
Treatments for snoring are normally not covered by health insurance since they are mostly considered "cosmetic" procedures.
