“The Pillar Procedure is a logical alternative to more complicated and less effective treatments for snoring and sleep apnea. It is a minimally invasive, painless, and rapid treatment that offers life changing improvement for most patients.” – Dr. Charles P. Kimmelman 

As the first FDA approved implant treatment designed to stop snoring and sleep apnea, the Pillar Procedure is less painful and costly than conventional surgery. This breakthrough snoring cure supports the soft palate tissue in order to stop snoring and sleep apnea. Dr. Kimmelman has extensive experience in the treatment of sleep disorders and will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine the best options available to cure snoring and sleep apnea for you.

The First FDA Approved Minimally Invasive Cure For Snoring

The Pillar Procedure involves placing 5 to 6 small inserts into the soft palate (back portion of the roof of the mouth). The implants support the palate to reduce its shaking and vibration in order to stop snoring and sleep apnea. The inserts are made from a woven polyester thread that is safe and well tolerated in delicate tissues. The procedure takes less than 30 minutes and can be performed in Dr. Kimmelman’s New York City office. If twilight anesthesia is requested, the Pillar Procedure can be performed in an accredited outpatient facility. Because the Pillar Procedure is minimally invasive, normal activity can be resumed the same day.
