Injection Snoreplasty is one of the effective cure for the snoring caused by the vibration of soft palate.

injection snoreplasty is one of more injections of a medication into the soft palate, which results in the stiffening of the tissues and reduces noise production.

Injection Snoreplasty Effectiveness

Injection snoreplasty for snoring cure, response to the treatment takes several weeks.  But to achieve the desired effect may require repeated injections. This procedure can not fundamentally eliminate snoring, but it can greatly reduce the limits of vibration, to reduce snoring. And this treatment produces a long term result.

Surgical cures for snoring can work the same way: your surgeon will use a laser, scalpel or radiofrequency device to scar and thereby stiffen your throat tissues.  The trick seems to be identifying the tissues which are most responsible for your snoring.  We’re all different. But injection snoreplasty at a much lower cost, less risk, less recovery time, less pain and the ability to resume daily activities faster if not immediately.

The typical hardening agent used in “Injection Snoreplasty” is Sotradecol. The injection will typically be 0.1cc of anesthetic Sotradecol 3%, which is placed into the soft palate as a test for allergic reaction. About 20 minutes later, if the patient is not allergic reaction, then the injection snoreplasty operation of snoring can be executed. After the injection the patient is required to wait for about 20 minutes in order to determine without any complications.

The risks of Injection Snoreplasty

The risks of Injection Snoreplasty including : not achieved the desired effects of snoring reduction, drug allergies, bleeding, tissue infection and loss. However, these risks relative to the surgical treatment of snoring (snoring), which are much smaller.

“Injection Snoreplasty” is (not) a treatment for sleep apnea and it is not a treatment that is advised for everyone with snoring problems. The cost has typically been in the $300 range per injection.  More than one injection is often necessary.

Injection snoreplasty is a simple method of controlling snoring that is safe, inexpensive, and relatively pain free.

Principle:
The snoring sound is often produced by the vibrations of the soft palate and uvula when breathing. The principle is similar to several available snoring surgery options that eliminate snoring that works by reducing the flexibility of the soft palate and the uvula.

Injection Snoreplasty is the injection of a sclerosing agent into the soft palate, which  causes scarring and subsequent stiffening of the soft palate. This reduces the flutter of the soft palate, which is the cause of primary snoring.

The Technology:
During the first treatment Sotradecol is injected using a single needle penetration, into the midline soft palate using a needle bent to a 30 to 45 degree angleii. Approximately two minutes after the injection the area turns purple indicating the sclerosing agent is having an effect. Over the course of a few weeks, this leads to the formation of scar tissue and stiffening, which stops the vibration of the soft palate that causes snoring.

Efficacy:
In a study of 27 patients4 with a diagnosis of palatal flutter by sleep study, 25 patients (92%)reported a significant decrease in snoring.  Of these 25 patients that were successfullytreated, 22 (88%) completed a survey with an average follow-up period of 19 months. Fourpatients (16%) reported a relapse of their snoring after treatment. Three were re-injected and theirsnoring improved.

Summary:
Injection Snoreplasy appears to be as effective, in the short term, in reducing snoring, compared with other surgical treatments. Its long-term efficacy is unknown. It may a suitable alternative to other treatment methods due to its minimal cost and minimal postoperative discomfort.
