This could certainly help reduce or eliminate snoring.

As far as reducing apnea, only if your apnea is primarily caused by upper airway issues. More and more evidence indicates that upper airway issues are a primary factor in a minority of people.

The process gives roughly the same result as a UPPP or similar procedure - removing or stiffening loose tissue that flaps and rattles around.

So, I am skeptical that this would truly reduce apnea itself for most people. My concern is that folks might eliminate their snoring and think they were apnea-free.
