Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Candle Ear Wax Cleaning.

During your Candle Ear Wax Cleaning session, you'll recline while a sterile candle is carefully placed in the ear canal entrance. Gentle warmth and suction-like air flow help draw wax out. The treatment is soothing and typically lasts 20–30 minutes.

Most clients tolerate candle cleaning well, but it's not recommended for people with perforated eardrums, current ear infections, recent surgery, or children under six. Our clinicians screen each client to determine if the treatment is appropriate and safe.

Appointments usually take 30–45 minutes, including consultation, examination, and the ear candling itself. Some clients may require extra time for both ears or additional cleaning. Plan for a brief aftercare discussion and any follow-up recommendations.

Most clients report a mild, soothing warmth and light crackling sounds rather than pain. If you experience sharp pain, pressure, or dizziness, inform the clinician immediately. We adjust or stop treatment to prioritize your comfort and safety.

After treatment, avoid water entering the ear for 24 hours, refrain from inserting cotton swabs, and monitor for lingering pain or discharge. If you notice persistent symptoms, contact AM Wellness for follow-up. Routine cleanings can be scheduled as needed.
