A familiar sleep story
Is Snoring Disturbing Your Sleep, or Your Partner’s?
If snoring is disturbing either of you, reducing its intensity can help make nights quieter and sleep less disrupted. ROMEO uses fractional Er:YAG laser energy inside the mouth to firm accessible soft tissue that can vibrate during sleep.
Because snoring has several possible causes, a Riverbanks doctor will review your symptoms, health history and pattern of snoring before advising whether ROMEO could help. Individual responses vary and results cannot be guaranteed.

The controlled warming encourages new, tighter collagen, helping improve tightness and create a stronger lining around the tonsil area.
Less tissue vibration
Firmer tissue can vibrate less during sleep, which can reduce snoring intensity. Individual responses vary and results cannot be guaranteed.

Before you book.
Does the consultation mean I am suitable for treatment?
No. The purpose of the consultation is a medical assessment of your suitability for ROMEO. Your doctor will also explain how the procedure is performed, what recovery is usually like, and the results and limitations you should realistically expect.
Will ROMEO stop snoring completely?
No outcome can be guaranteed. The aim is to reduce the intensity of snoring. Individual responses and the duration of any improvement vary.
Is ROMEO a treatment for sleep apnoea?
No. ROMEO is not a treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea. Symptoms suggesting sleep apnoea require an ENT referral made by your GP.
