“After the first NightLase treatment, there was a really obvious reduction in snoring… the SnoreLab App indicated a 30% reduction in snoring. After the second treatment, my husband does not nudge me to tell me I am snoring. He is very happy with the treatment. If he is happy, then I am happy.”
— Nori Phillips
How does NightLase work?
Dr. Bentacourt’s NightLase therapy is a non-invasive, patient-friendly laser treatment for increasing the quality of a patient’s sleep. NightLase reduces the effects of sleep apnea and decreases the amplitude of snoring by means of a gentle, laser-induced tightening effect caused by the contraction of collagen in the oral mucosa tissue.

-
NightLase® is a minimally invasive, patient-friendly laser treatment for snoring. It reduces the effects of sleep apnea, decreases the severity of snoring, and increases the quality of sleep.
-
NightLase® is performed with approximately three short treatments spaced over two months. Each treatment lasts around 20 minutes and requires no anesthesia. During the procedure, you might feel a slight heating sensation, such as when you drink hot tea, but there is no discomfort as soon as the procedure ends. The results can be seen already after the first session!
-
Laser energy is used to heat the soft palate tissues of the airway, causing a tightening effect that helps to keep your airway open. The tightening effect is caused by the contraction of collagen in the oral mucosa tissue.
-
Snoring is the audible vibration of respiratory structures, such as the soft palate and uvula, due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping. It is also the most frequent nocturnal symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a potentially life-threatening disorder that causes repetitive episodes of partial or complete collapse of the upper airway during sleep. Many factors can contribute to snoring and, for this reason, a careful and complete evaluation is imperative in order to obtain an effective treatment.

Meet Dr. Betancourt
Dr. Nelhs Betancourt is a distinguished medical professional with over 30 years of medical experience. He performs laser procedures at his Huntington Beach office and he is the medical director, for two industrial medical clinics: B. Braun Medical Inc. in Irvine, CA, and Moog Aircraft Group in Torrance, CA. In addition, he is an independent medical examiner and expert witness.
His interest in aesthetics began in 2022 when he had knee replacement surgery. His doctor told him his knee would not last if he did not lose weight. As a result, he lost 45 pounds and then became interested in what other self-improvements he could make. During his improvement journey, he did a great deal of research, attended numerous training courses, tried many skin care products, and became fascinated with lasers. He purchased the Fotona Dynamis Laser and later the Fotona SkyWalker PQX.
In his own words, “Lasers have a prominent place in my toolbox for restoring beauty and health, and I am dedicated to research, and learn as much as I can to use lasers to correct, enhance and restore the beauty and health we all desire to have.”
People become dr. Betancourt’s patients because they are confident in his skills, knowledge, and judgement. He takes the time to listen to people. He carefully explains each treatment step to his patients. He encourages their questions and feedback. He is concerned with patient comfort and makes treatment changes to accommodate each individual.
