DEKA QuietNite CO2 Laser

A Modern Approach to Sleep Therapy

QuietNite is designed to support better rest and reduce sleep-related issues through a minimally invasive process. Benefits include:

• Reduced snoring for improved breathing
• Enhanced energy, focus, and mental clarity from better sleep
• Gentle tissue decontamination during treatment
• No topical anesthetic required
• Pain-free recovery with no post-operative discomfort
• Quick in-office procedure completed in minutes
• Increased collagen stimulation for long-lasting results

Treatment Process and Timing

With DEKA QuietNite, patients experience a simple procedure lasting less than ten minutes. The laser’s optimal penetration depth allows for precise and gentle treatment of soft tissue.

• Minimally invasive, with no bleeding or side effects
• No downtime required
• Typically up to three sessions, spaced about 21 days apart, for initial treatment
• Annual or as-needed follow-up sessions

Fractional Ablation Technology

The fractional CO2 method works by creating a series of micro-thermal wounds without damaging surrounding tissue. This controlled ablation encourages natural healing and collagen production within 30 days, leading to a tighter, more toned soft palate and airway.

Key outcomes include:

• Noticeable results within five days for many patients
• Documented reductions in snoring severity (AHI and RDI decreased by 25% after one session in DEKA’s internal studies)
• Increased airway volume as measured by pharyngometer testing

Note: Results are based on DEKA’s internal clinical findings. Patients in the study did not use CPAP or oral sleep devices during evaluation.

Fractional CO2 and Tissue Healing

Following treatment, epithelial cells begin regenerating immediately, providing initial tightening effects. Over the following months, collagen remodeling continues, delivering long-lasting improvements:

• Collagen stimulation can last 9 to 12 months
• Superficial ablation provides faster relief
• Results can be tracked with CBCT scans, pharyngometer mapping, sleep studies, and snore monitoring apps

Why Choose DEKA?

Powered by UltraSpeed Technology

DEKA’s UltraSpeed pulse system blends power with precision. This unique design ensures efficient tissue ablation with minimal heat spread, reducing risk while sealing blood vessels and nerve endings for comfort.

With peak power up to 150W, the DEKA Smart CO2 laser delivers quick, accurate results while protecting surrounding tissue.

Designed for Accuracy

Each hand-blown glass tube creates a pure Gaussian laser beam, focusing energy into an exact point. This allows clinicians to switch between fine incisions, deep treatments, and gentle tissue dehydration depending on patient needs.

Why CO2 Lasers Lead in Soft Tissue Care

For oral and soft tissue applications, CO2 lasers are the preferred choice due to their superior absorption in water-based tissue (90–95% of oral tissue is water). Benefits include:

• Precise tissue ablation with minimal penetration beyond 0.1mm
• Strong hemostatic effect to seal blood vessels and lymphatics
• High efficiency without unnecessary tissue damage

In comparison:

• Nd:YAG lasers penetrate deeper (3–4mm) and primarily target melanin, making them less ideal for superficial soft tissue.
• Erbium lasers are absorbed too quickly by water, leaving no residual energy for coagulation.
• Diode lasers require “initiating” the fiber tip, producing heat through conduction rather than direct laser absorption.

CO2 remains the gold standard for safe, efficient, and comfortable soft tissue treatment. To learn more about CO2 Lasers, contact Palmetto Sleep today!
