Help for my ears

Our Irrigation method is a gentle way to remove wax and obstructions from your ears, using a pulse of warm water. Most clients find it relaxing and it normally only takes 30 - 40 minutes to clear the wax.

Microsuction is a safe, effective, and gentle method of removing excess ear wax. It involves using a small, low-pressure suction device to carefully extract wax from the ear canal while being guided by a high-powered microscope or loupe.
