Ear Wax Removal with Microsuction
Ear Wax Removal with Microsuction
A safe, gentle and effective alternative to ear syringing.
Treatment
Microsuction removes ear wax using gentle suction under direct vision, so we can see exactly what we're doing throughout. No water is flushed into the ear, which makes it a comfortable and controlled option — including for people with more complex ear conditions.
