The CELON Thermotherapy

The Celon thermotherapy is a minimally invasive product used to treat the palatal contribution to snoring and/or mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In 80% of cases, the soft palate (upper roof of inside of the mouth) contributes to the problem.

Treatment Overview

Treatment using the Celon method involves using targeted thermotherapy (only indicated for Uvula\Soft palate for the treatment of snoring) to reduce the size of the affected areas in the nasal passages and pharynx and stabilize the slack tissue. This means that snoring is treated directly at its source.

This minor procedure can be carried out by a specialist under local anesthesia. From start to finish, this procedure generally takes no longer than 10-15 minutes. You can resume normal activities immediately- recovery only takes a couple days. There is very little discomfort afterwards and you can feel a marked difference after just a few weeks to months.

Post-Procedure Expectations

The Celon Procedure usually causes minimal discomfort and recovery time is brief for most patients. Many patients resume a normal diet and activities the same day. If necessary, an over-the-counter pain reliever can be used to treat discomfort.
