Our Wax Removal Methods

We offer a choice of safe, clinically recognised techniques, all performed by trained professionals in our fully equipped treatment rooms.

Microsuction

The gold standard in wax removal, microsuction uses a gentle, low-pressure suction device and magnification to precisely remove wax. It’s quick, clean, and generally doesn’t require any pre-treatment with drops.

Irrigation

A controlled stream of warm water is used to gently flush out the ear canal, ideal for cases where wax is too soft or wet for microsuction, or when a gentler method is preferred.

Instrumentation (Dry Removal)

For wax that is close to the outer ear canal, our clinicians may use manual tools to safely and carefully lift out the blockage, no suction or water needed.
