Quick Fix for Operatic Slumber (You Can Stop Snoring)

One of the biggest causes of domestic discontent is snoring. A partner who sounds like a chainsaw all night is something you never quite get used to. Sleep apnea, which is associated with snoring, is also a potentially dangerous health condition.

Snoring is caused when soft tissue in the palate and throat "flap in the breeze" during sleep. Older and overweight people are more likely to snore than younger, leaner people. Traditionally, the only solution to snoring has been surgery. While surgery may be the best option for some people, new non-surgical solutions make it fast, inexpensive and painless to turn off that midnight buzz-saw.
While "radio frequency surgery" might sound like something from a fifties sci-fi movie, it is a reality today and the success rate for treating snoring disorders is between 75% and 85%. The instruments used for this "surgery" produce highly focused heat impulses that shrink the excess tissue that is obstructing airways. No incisions are involved and only a local anesthetic is required. Appointments take less than an hour, with the procedure itself lasting only a few minutes. Best of all, the cost of this procedure in Thailand is a fraction of what you would expect to pay in the UK, Europe or North America. And it only takes a few hours away from your wonderful holiday time.
If you are someone who snores, one of the greatest gifts you can give your sleep-deprived boo is not a pair of ear plugs, but a final end to your all-night concerts. If you or a friend are a candidate for this solution, please contact us and we will give you more details. Eventually this information will also appear on the Purple Dragon website.
