Do you want to put an end to snoring? Why don't you try what over 30,000 people across the world have used to get rid of snoring once and for all - the Pillar Procedure! It is the first FDA-cleared insert procedure for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The procedure aims to help you sleep better, breath better, and live better.

About the Pillar Procedure

The Pillar Procedure involves the addition of three tiny polyester implants -18 mm in length and an outer diameter of approximately 2 mm- into your soft palate. It uses a small delivery tool without any incisions or stitches. Along with your body's natural fibrotic response, these implants will lend structural support and stiffen your soft palate. With this structural support, tissue vibration, which causes snoring or OSA is reduced considerably.

In addition, this procedure is less invasive and less painful when compared to most other surgical procedures to treat OSA. This is because it does not require removal of soft palate tissue. You will not see or feel the implants in your soft palate. You can get back to your normal life in less than a day. However, you might experience minimal swelling or discomfort for a day or two following the procedure which can be easily treated with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Research has revealed that a majority of the patients report a noticeable, lasting reduction in snoring post the Pillar Procedure. In fact a clinical study revealed that nearly 80% of patients' sleep apnea reduced considerably within three months of the treatment. Close to 80% of patients demonstrated a reduction in their Apnea-Hypopnea Index (or AHI, which measures the severity of sleep apnea) with results sustained for one year after completion of the procedure. Also, most patients who underwent the Pillar Procedure experienced less daytime sleepiness and increased energy levels.

If you think that the Pillar Procedure is the solution for your snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea, you should get in touch with a sleep specialist who could determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
