How it works
Microsuction ear wax removal is performed by a trained healthcare professional using a high-powered microscope and a precise low-pressure suction device. This allows clear visualisation of the ear canal while safely removing excess wax without touching sensitive areas of the ear. The procedure is quick, accurate, and suitable for most patients experiencing earwax blockage.
