How it works
A pharmacist uses a microscope and a low-pressure suction device to gently remove earwax from your ear canal.
Benefits
Microsuction is a quick procedure that doesn't use water, so it's cleaner and more comfortable than other methods. You can usually go home the same day and should notice an immediate improvement in your symptoms.
When it's used
Microsuction is recommended for people who shouldn't have water in their ears, such as those with a perforated eardrum, a history of thick ear discharge, or who have had ear surgery.
Aftercare
After the procedure, you should avoid strenuous activity for 1-2 days. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers if you experience any discomfort.
Side effects
Possible side effects include dizziness, discomfort, reduced hearing, infection, or trauma to the ear.
Who needs earwax microsuction?

Great vacation experience. I arrived early and Daisy fitted me in so I didn't have to wait. She was clear and professional throughout. I genuinely didn't feel the needle go in. It was also a relatively large private room, thank you

Just popped in to get my holiday injections for myself and the family and Daisy was brilliant. She was professional, patient, and really reassuring throughout. I also had a banking issue when it came to paying, and she was completely understanding and trusting while I sorted it out. Excellent service.
