Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Candle Ear Wax Cleaning.

While generally gentle, Candle Ear Wax Cleaning isn't suitable for everyone. We screen for perforated eardrums, active infections, recent ear surgery, or young children. A brief consultation determines safety; staff will recommend alternatives if ear candling isn't appropriate.

A typical Candle Ear Wax Cleaning session lasts about 20–40 minutes, including consultation and aftercare instructions. Time varies with individual ear condition; we allow extra time for new clients, hearing concerns, or additional treatments during the appointment.

Most clients report no pain; you may feel gentle warmth, light pressure, or soft crackling noise during the process. If you experience sharp pain or dizziness, staff will stop immediately and recommend follow-up care or referral as needed.

You can usually resume normal activities immediately after treatment. Avoid getting water directly into the ear for 24–48 hours and skip vigorous ear cleaning. Contact us if you experience prolonged pain, discharge, or changes in hearing.

Contraindications include perforated eardrums, ear tubes, active infections, recent ear surgery, or severe skin conditions. Always disclose medical history and current medications during consultation so our clinicians can safely determine whether candle ear cleaning is appropriate.
