Laser turbinate reduction is a modern, minimally invasive procedure used to treat chronic nasal congestion caused by enlarged turbinates—structures inside your nose that help filter and humidify the air you breathe. When these turbinates become swollen (a condition called turbinate hypertrophy), they can block airflow and make breathing through your nose difficult
The doctor uses a thin laser fiber or special laser device to target the swollen turbinate tissue inside your nose.
Minimal discomfort during and after the procedure; most people describe only mild stinging or warmth
Little to no bleeding, as the laser seals blood vessels while it works
Quick recovery: Most people return to normal activities right away, with only minor aftercare needed, such as avoiding strenuous exercise for a few days.
Laser tonsillectomy is a modern, minimally invasive procedure used to remove or reduce the size of the tonsils using a focused laser beam. This technique is often chosen for people who have frequent tonsil infections (tonsillitis), enlarged tonsils causing sleep or breathing problems, or chronic sore throats
The doctor uses a laser to precisely cut away or shrink the tonsil tissue. Thheat from the laser seals blood vessels as it works, which means there is much less bleeding compared to traditional surgery
The procedure can often be done under local anesthesia, meaning you are awake but the area is numb, and sometimes even in a clinic setting without the need for a hospital stay
There are different types of laser tonsil procedures: some remove the entire tonsil (laser tonsillectomy), while others only reduce its size (laser tonsillotomy or tonsil resurfacing).
There is a lower risk of bleeding and infection, and minimal scarring
Laser tonsillectomy offers a gentle, effective alternative to traditional tonsil removal, with less pain, faster healing, and fewer risks. It’s a great option for those needing relief from chronic tonsil problems or sleep issues caused by enlarged tonsils.
