The Vasectomy Procedure
What to expect during the vasectomy procedure
The vasectomy no scalpel technique is a fast and effective, minimally invasive procedure using a laser-like device called a Hyfrecator. The state-of-the-art technology ensures that having a vasectomy with us will be quick and you’ll barely feel a thing. Within 30 minutes of arriving for your appointment, you’ll be sorted, and strutting out of the clinic as a contraception hero!

Any Questions
Before the procedure begins, you’ll have the chance to ask your doctor any further questions
Getting Started
Anaesthetic
To make sure that you don’t feel a thing, we’ll use a local anaesthetic to numb a small area of skin at the front of the scrotum
Small Incision
Once numb, using the Hyfracator, one small keyhole incision is made in the skin at the front of the scrotum (about 3mm in size and NOT in the testicle!).
Seal Close
Our expert Docs will then locate and seal close the vas deferens (tubes carrying the sperm) without any need for cutting or stitching
Quick and Easy
Vroom Vroom
Rest & Relax
After about an hour, your anaesthetic will wear off and you may experience some slight discomfort. To optimise healing and minimise bruising we recommend you ice the treated area intermittently and take the rest of the day off to chill.
