Compendium of NightLase® and other Otolaryngology Applications, Scientific Research on Fotona’s Laser Technology
Foreword
Scientific Evidence Behind NightLase® and Other Otolaryngology Applications
For decades, Fotona has been a pioneer in laser technology, pushing
the boundaries of innovation and setting new standards in medical
treatments. Within these pages, we present a compilation of peerreviewed studies and clinical trials exploring the potential of Er:YAG
and Nd:YAG lasers in otolaryngology applications.
The compendium contains summaries of key findings from selected
publications, providing solid scientific evidence to support the safety
and efficacy of NightLase® and other laser-assisted otolaryngological
therapies. We have added QR codes to all summaries for easier access
to the official online sources.
Particularly notable in this collection is the unique non-ablative,
patented Fotona SMOOTH® technology – a manifestation of
Fotona’s commitment to advancing minimally invasive nonsurgical
laser treatments.
Throughout its 60-year history, Fotona has continually developed laser
technology based on stringent research and hard scientific evidence.
We believe this overview will help bring critical medical discoveries
one step closer to users. We also hope it will inspire researchers to
further examine the nuances of laser applications in sleep-disordered
breathing, snoring, and related otolaryngological conditions.
