I believe what you are referring to is probably radiofrequency ablation of tissue. This has been approved by the FDA for snoring and is being studied for sleep apnea it probably works at about the same rate as surgical removal of the uvula and surrounding tissue, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, however large studies have not been published.
