FAQs about snoring treatment

Frequently asked questions about Snoring Clinics treatment

On other pages of the website we have endeavoured to explain, in layman's terms, the causes of snoring with details of the available treatments. Below you will find a list of the most common questions.

Is your clinic registered?

Yes, it is registered with the Healthcare Commission - registration service number 61007.

Who performs the snoring treatment?

Your treatment is applied by a fully-qualified Ear, Nose and Throat Consultant - an experienced surgeon who has trained to operate the sophisticated radio frequency equipment we use.

Is the treatment painful?

No, the treatment is given under local anaesthetic so you will have one or more injections similar to those you get when you have dental treatment. You may feel a very slight discomfort after treatment which is readily counteracted by everyday over-the-counter tablets such as Paracetamol.

How successful are RF treatments?

Surveys by the RF equipment provider in early 2004 revealed that more than 80%+ of patients obtained significant noise reduction.  The other obtain some noise reductions of varying success rates. Our ENT Consultant has from experience created a screening process that helps identify potential obstacles for optimum results.  For these cases we would either (i) Not recommend the treatment be undertaken, (ii) Recommend an additional procedure to optimise the outcome or (iii) Recommend an alternative procedure. At Stop Snoring Clinics UK, we screen suitable clients thoroughly at our pre-assessment clinic in order to obtain higher success rates for first time treatments.

How do I arrange my treatment?

The process starts with a consultation and pre-assessment where our clinician will explain the causes of snoring, the treatment available, and our procedure. We assess your suitability fully and then propose the RF treatment best suited to you.

How long will the treatment take?

The treatment typically takes 20-30 minutes. The procedure starts with the ENT Consultant providing an endoscope examination and explanation of the procedure. The actual application of the RF is normally less than 10 minutes.

How soon can I return to work or normal everyday activities?

When the treatment is completed you will be advised to relax in the clinic's recuperation room for a short while. Once we are satisfied that everything is fine you are free to return to normal activities.

How soon will I experience some improvement?

The radio frequency snoring treatment shrinks the tissues that cause the snoring problems over a period of time. This will vary from patient to patient but you should expect to see some improvement in a matter of four to six weeks.

How much does a typical procedure cost?

The investment for the standard Radio Frequency procedure including all Consultation and Medical Assessment fees is only £840. The cost of the Consultation and medical assessment is £70 which is fully refundable should the client and ENT Surgeon agree to undertake and perform the procedure. At the consultation the client is under no obligation to proceed. We do not employ sales persons.

How much are additional Radio Frequency treatments?

The cost of additional Radio Frequency treatments that are undertaken on the same visit typically cost £350. Examples of such treatment are for RF procedures to uvula or turbinates in nasal passage.
