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.

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.

  • Our micro-suction procedure is simple and efficient:

    • Consultation: A trained member of our pharmacy team will check and assess your ears to determine if micro-suction is appropriate for you.

    • Preparation: It is recommended that you use olive oil ear drops for 5-7 days prior to your appointment to soften the earwax. You can purchase these drops directly from our pharmacy.

    • Microsuction Procedure: Using specialized equipment, we'll gently remove excess earwax with a low-pressure suction device. This is usually a quick and painless process.

    • Safe and Gentle: Unlike ear syringing, microsuction avoids the use of water, reducing the risk of infection or discomfort.

    • Effective: Microsuction is a highly effective method for removing even stubborn earwax blockages.

    • Professional Service: Our team is specially trained in microsuction techniques.escription.
