- TWO TECHNIQUES, ONE STANDARD
Suture-Free Methods Built Around the Best Possible Outcome
Circumcision in the UK is too often still done the old way - in hospital, under general anaesthetic, with stitches and a long recovery. We don't work like that. We offer two refined, minimally invasive techniques under local anaesthetic, with no hospital stay and no overnight. Both are suture-free and designed around precision, a clean cosmetic result, and a faster, more comfortable recovery. We'll help you choose the right one for you at your consultation.
- The Pollock Technique™
- UK-exclusive technique, used by experts worldwide
- Suture-free, skin-glue finish
- Class-leading pain protocol - expect mild discomfort, not pain
- The Shang Ring
- Designed for the best aesthetic result
- Suture-free and virtually bloodless
- Rarely offered in the UK - globally proven
- WHAT RECOVERY ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE
Less Daunting Than You'd Think - and We're With You the Whole Way
The thing most men are quietly worried about is pain. Here's the honest version: with our techniques and anaesthetic, you should expect mild discomfort, not pain. If you work a desk job, most men are back at it within a couple of days - a bit wobbly, maybe, but back to normal life quickly. Take a few days to relax, follow our simple aftercare, and you'll heal well. And we don't disappear once you leave: follow-up care through your recovery is included, and if you need to see us, that's free. We're not going to drag you back in three or four times unnecessarily - but if something's on your mind at any point, we're easy to reach.

Real Stories. Real Families.
Hundreds of parents and men have trusted us for their circumcision. These are their words and the reason we do what we do.
Got an appointment very quickly. Given resources and direct access to the physician which put us at ease. The doctor and staff have lot of experience and was able to anticipate the behaviour of my infant pre and post procedure which also helps knowing what to expect. Definitely would recommend!
My son had his circumcision and I had the vasectomy. The staff and doctor were very nice and pleasant to work with. They do their best to relax you and answer all your questions. Both procedures were a lot better than I expected. They give you all the info you need to prepare for the procedures. They also give you a direct phone number for any support questions after. I would recommend this place.
The procedure was fast and painless. Everyone at the clinic is professional and welcoming. After the procedure and during my healing time any questions and concerns that I had was answered by the doctor promptly. The doctor went above and beyond to accommodate me in some small issues that I was having. Over all great experience and would recommend this clinic.
I cannot recommend the Gentle Procedures Clinic highly enough! From start to finish, my experience was outstanding. The doctor was absolutely amazing-professional, reassuring, and incredibly skilled. The procedure itself was unbelievably quick and completely pain- free. I hardly noticed that I had undergone a procedure at all! Even afterward, I felt zero pain or discomfort, which was a pleasant surprise.
The doctor performed the circumcision with exceptional care and professionalism. The procedure was quick, clean, and well-explained from start to finish. He made sure we were comfortable and answered all our questions patiently. The recovery process went smoothly, thanks to his clear instructions and follow-up care.

- YOUR MOST-ASKED QUESTIONS
Adult Circumcision UK: Quick Answers to Your Questions
Is circumcision in adults painful?
Honestly, far less than most men fear. We use an advanced long-acting local anaesthetic and minimally invasive, suture-free techniques, so the plan is no pain during the procedure and only mild discomfort during recovery. Clear aftercare keeps it manageable.
Can you get circumcised as an adult?
Yes. Circumcision is a safe and well-established procedure for adult men of all ages. There is no upper age limit, and the procedure is commonly performed for medical, personal, hygiene, or cultural reasons. At Gentle Procedures UK, we carry out adult circumcision under local anaesthetic with no hospital admission and no general anaesthetic required. A consultation is recommended first to discuss your individual circumstances and confirm the right approach.
Is adult circumcision a major surgery?
No. Adult circumcision at Gentle Procedures UK is a minor outpatient procedure, not major surgery. It is performed under local anaesthetic in a private clinic setting, takes under ten minutes, and requires no hospital admission or overnight stay. There is no general anaesthetic involved. While all surgical procedures carry some level of risk, adult circumcision using the Pollock Technique™ has a well-established safety profile with low complication rates when performed by trained specialists.
What to expect after adult circumcision?
In the first 24 to 48 hours, mild swelling, redness, and sensitivity at the site are normal and expected. Most men find these symptoms begin to settle within the first few days. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided before you leave the clinic, covering wound care, hygiene, clothing recommendations, and activity restrictions. You receive a direct contact number so our team is reachable throughout your recovery. Most men return to desk work within one to two days, with full activity including sexual activity resuming after four to six weeks.
Does circumcision affect length in adults?
No. Circumcision removes the foreskin only and does not affect the length of the penis. The procedure involves removing the fold of skin that covers the glans; the underlying tissue and penile structure are not altered. This is a commonly asked question, and our doctors are happy to discuss any concerns during your consultation so you feel fully informed before proceeding.
Why choose Gentle Procedures over other providers?
We're CQC-regulated, run by specialist surgeons with plastics backgrounds, and we offer two modern suture-free techniques - including the Pollock Technique, which we're the only UK provider of. Some clinics still use stitches or staples; our approach is suture-free, virtually bloodless, and built around the best result and the easiest recovery.
What are the benefits of circumcision for adults?
The benefits vary depending on the reason for the procedure. For medical reasons, circumcision can relieve chronic discomfort from phimosis, resolve recurring infections, and improve functional and sexual comfort. For personal or hygiene reasons, many men report easier daily care and greater confidence. Cosmetically, the Pollock Technique™ delivers a clean and consistent result. It is important to have realistic expectations, and our doctors discuss expected outcomes honestly during consultation so you can make a fully informed decision.
How much does circumcision for adults in the UK cost?
At Gentle Procedures UK, adult circumcision is priced at £1,800, all-inclusive. This covers the consultation, procedure, aftercare guidance, and follow-up. A consultation-only appointment is available for £195. Revision circumcision starts from £2,000. There are no hidden fees, and all pricing is published transparently on our website. Pricing across the UK for adult circumcision varies between providers, but our all-inclusive fee structure means there are no unexpected additional charges.
I think I have a medical problem - is that a valid reason?
Almost certainly, yes. Conditions like phimosis (a tight foreskin), a tight frenulum (sometimes called a "tight banjo string"), recurrent infections, or discomfort during intimacy are all common, valid reasons men come to us - and we've seen them many times. You don't have to put up with it, and you don't need to feel apprehensive about sorting it out. Book a consultation and we'll tell you honestly whether circumcision is the right solution for you.
Can I have an adult circumcision for purely cosmetic reasons?
That's a completely valid choice too, and a large part of what we do. Both our techniques are suture-free and designed for a clean, symmetrical, natural-looking result.
What does recovery involve?
Expect mild discomfort rather than pain. With our Pollock Technique, most men with desk jobs are back to work within a couple of days. Follow-up care is included, and seeing us during recovery is free if you need it.
