Earwax removal
Microsuction is one of the safest methods for professional earwax removal, using gentle suction to clear blockages. We charge £10 per consultation and £35 per ear for the microsuction – if the ears need the treatment, the consultation fee will be covered in the treatment price.
If booking an appointment, please use olive oil for at least FOUR days prior to your appointment. Thank you.
What you need to know about our ear wax removal service

Earwax, also known as cerumen, is naturally produced by your ear canal. It serves a crucial role in protecting your ears by trapping dust, bacteria, and other organisms. However, for some, earwax can harden and accumulate, leading to:
Earache
Hearing difficulties
Itchiness
Dizziness
Ear infections
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, you could be suffering with earwax buildup. While earwax buildup is a common culprit, persistent symptoms might indicate another condition, so it’s always wise to consult with your doctor if you have concerns.
