The Pillar® Procedure is a minimally invasive treatment option for both snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea originating from the soft palate. This breakthrough procedure is office-based, requiring only a local anesthetic. During the Pillar Procedure, tiny implants are placed into the muscle of the soft palate to reduce the palate's tendency to flutter during sleep and/or block the airway.

The Pillar Procedure takes about fifteen minutes to perform. This procedure is associated with minimal discomfort, and most patients return to work the same or following day.
