Experienced Specialists in No-Scalpel Vasectomy

Delivering precise, minimally invasive no scalpel vasectomy — a permanent and reliable contraception option.

Our Vasectomy Process

Step 1: Book Your Appointment

Booking is easy — simply select a date and time that suits you.

What does it cost?
A single all-inclusive fee of $495 — no hidden charges.

Do I need a consultation?
No. You can book your procedure directly. Consultations are available on request.

Step 2: The Procedure

Performed by an experienced doctor, the no-scalpel technique is quick, precise, and virtually painless. We use a combination of pre-medication and local anaesthetic to make the experience as comfortable as possible. The procedure usually takes just 15–20 minutes.

Is it painful?
Using local anaesthetic we ensure the procedure is as pain-free as possible — most men report only mild discomfort, if any.

Will it affect testosterone or sexual function?
No. A vasectomy only blocks sperm. It has no effect on testosterone, erections, or libido.

Step 3: Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery is typically fast. Most men return to daily activities within 2–3 days, and we provide full aftercare instructions to support you.

How soon can I get back to work or exercise?
Light duties are fine within a few days. Avoid strenuous activity for 7 days.

Step 4: Follow-up & Effectiveness

The vasectomy is over 99% effective as a permanent contraceptive method. We recommend a semen test after 3 months to confirm the procedure was successful.

How effective are vasectomies?
A vasectomy is over 300× more effective than regular condom use.
