Teen Circumcision: Specialist, Confidential Care for Teenagers
By the teenage years, circumcision deserves a clinic that treats your son as the young adult he's becoming - with privacy, dignity, and a say in his own care. Whether it's a medical issue like a tight foreskin that hasn't settled with puberty, or a considered family or personal choice, we handle it with discretion and genuine expertise. Using the gold-standard Pollock Technique™ under effective local anaesthetic, we keep things calm, comfortable, and free of any awkwardness. All-inclusive pricing, no GP referral, no waiting list, and a doctor reachable around the clock throughout recovery.

- WHY THE POLLOCK TECHNIQUE™ SUITS TEENAGERS
Precise, Discreet, and Built for a Quick Return to Normal Life
Teenagers have school, sport, exams and a social life to get back to - so the method matters. The Pollock Technique™ is a refined, suture-free approach carried out under effective local anaesthetic, with no device left in place and no overnight hospital stay. It's precise, efficient, and known for predictable healing, which means less downtime and less disruption. We use skin glue rather than stitches for a smoother, cleaner result, and the whole experience is designed to be straightforward and low-stress for a self-conscious young man.
It also helps that the whole thing is done and dusted in a single short visit, with no general anaesthetic and no overnight stay — which matters when a teenager has school, exams, training and friends to get back to. Because healing is predictable and we use skin glue rather than stitches, there's no fiddly suture removal and far less to think about during recovery. Your teen leaves with simple, clear aftercare, and our team is on hand around the clock if any questions come up, so the focus stays where it should be: getting back to normal teenage life as quickly and comfortably as possible.

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
Teen Circumcision: Quick Answers For Parents and Young Men
At what age can my son have a circumcision?
Circumcision can be carried out at any age. On this pathway we care for teenagers aged 13 to 17, and we have separate pathways for younger children and adults. A consultation helps us recommend the right timing and approach based on your son's individual situation, health, and maturity.
Is circumcision safe for teenagers?
Yes. Performed by a specialist using the Pollock Technique™, it's a refined, well-established procedure with a very low complication rate. Every procedure here is led by a doctor with specialist training.
How painful is circumcision for a teenager?
It's carried out under effective local anaesthetic, so your son shouldn't feel pain during the procedure - typically just some mild discomfort during recovery, which is easily managed with the aftercare we provide.
Does my son need a general anaesthetic?
In most cases, no. The Pollock Technique™ uses local anaesthetic, which avoids the risks and recovery time of a general. We'll explain exactly what's planned for your son at consultation.
How long is recovery, and how much time off school or sport?
Most teenagers are back to school within a few days, with sport, swimming and PE usually paused for around two weeks while healing completes. You'll get clear, practical aftercare guidance tailored to his age and activity.
Will the consultation be private?
Yes, consultations are private and confidential, and we talk to your son directly and respectfully. Many teens feel reassured knowing their dignity is protected throughout.
Do we need a GP referral?
No referral and no waiting list. You can book a consultation with us directly.
