Professional ear wax removal in Glasgow from our flagship Kinning Park clinic, minutes from the city centre with free parking nearby. Open 7 days a week until 9pm — with a same-day appointment guarantee.
We’re on the first floor at 22 Milnpark Street, Kinning Park — two minutes from Junction 21 of the M8 and a short walk from Shields Road subway station. Free on-street parking is usually available on Milnpark Street itself.
All three professional ear wax removal methods are available at our Glasgow clinic, so you are never squeezed into a one-size-fits-all treatment. Which one you receive depends on what your clinician sees down the video otoscope — the type of wax, how deep it sits, and the condition of your ear canal and eardrum.
Microsuction uses a gentle medical suction device under direct vision through a microscope-style loupe. Because no water enters the ear, it is the method of choice for most people — including those with perforated eardrums, previous ear surgery or a history of infections. It is quick, precise and completely dry.
Water irrigation is the modern, controlled replacement for old-fashioned syringing. A steady flow of warm water at carefully regulated pressure loosens softened wax and washes it out. It works particularly well when wax has been pre-treated with olive oil for a few days.
Manual removal uses fine instruments — a Jobson Horne probe or micro-forceps — to lift out wax sitting near the entrance of the canal. It is often used alongside the other two methods to finish the job cleanly.
You do not need to choose in advance. Your clinician examines both ears with the video otoscope first, then recommends the right method for you on the day — at no extra cost, and with no price difference between methods.
A little preparation makes treatment faster, gentler and more likely to succeed first time. If your Glasgow appointment is a few days away, we recommend this simple olive oil routine:
Softened wax slides out far more easily — particularly with irrigation — and it reduces the chance of needing a follow-up visit. That said, please still come to your appointment even if you have not used any oil, especially if you have booked a same-day slot under our Glasgow guarantee. Our clinicians successfully treat un-oiled ears every day.
One firm rule: never use cotton buds or ear candles. Cotton buds compact wax deeper against the eardrum, and ear candles have no evidence behind them and can cause burns. If in doubt, leave the ear alone and let us deal with it.
Most Glasgow appointments take around 20–30 minutes from door to door, with the treatment itself typically 10–15 minutes. Here is exactly what to expect:
Afterwards, your clinician will run through simple aftercare advice so your ears stay comfortable and clear. Payment is taken after treatment — not before — by cash or card. And if the examination shows no wax at all, you pay only £20 for the consultation and full ear health check, never the treatment fee. Ready to get booked in?
