Genio® Therapy for Sleep Apnea in Suwanee, GA
ENT of Georgia North now offers Genio® therapy, an FDA-approved treatment for adults with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are unable to tolerate traditional treatments like CPAP or PAP therapy.
Genio therapy is a mask-free, implant-based solution designed to keep your airway open while you sleep — without hoses, masks, or pressurized airflow.
What Is Genio® Therapy?
Genio therapy is an innovative sleep apnea treatment that works by stimulating the hypoglossal nerve on both sides of the tongue, helping the tongue muscles contract and preventing airway collapse during sleep.
Unlike CPAP, Genio therapy:
- Does not require a mask or hose
- Works naturally with your breathing
- Is controlled externally using a wearable device
Genio is designed for patients seeking a more comfortable, discreet alternative to traditional sleep apnea therapy.
How Does the Genio System Work?
The Genio System includes two main components:
Implantable Stimulator
- A battery-free stimulator placed under the chin
- Implanted during a one-time outpatient surgical procedure
- Stimulates both sides of the tongue to maintain an open airway
Sleep Wearable and Activation Chip
- A small disposable patch worn under the chin during sleep
- Includes an external activation chip that powers the implant wirelessly
- Charged daily using a portable charger — ideal for home or travel
Approximately 8 weeks after the procedure, Genio therapy is activated and can be controlled using an optional smartphone app, which allows you to:
- Track therapy usage
- Adjust therapy within a clinician-defined range
- Monitor sleep goals
Is Genio® Therapy Right for You?
You may be eligible for Genio therapy if you:
- Are 22 years or older
- Have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea
- Have a recent sleep study showing an AHI between 15–65
- Have a BMI under 32
- Are unable to tolerate or benefit from CPAP, PAP therapy, or lifestyle modifications
Our ENT and sleep specialists will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if Genio therapy is appropriate for your needs.
