Contraceptive Implant (Nexplanon)
Nexplanon is a small, flexible implant placed under the skin of your upper arm, providing up to three years of reliable pregnancy protection. This “set it and forget it” option releases a low dose of hormone that prevents ovulation, making it over 99% effective.
The implant is inserted in a brief, in-clinic procedure with minimal discomfort. Once it’s in place, Nexplanon works quietly in the background, so you don’t have to worry about daily or monthly upkeep.

we’re here to answer all your questions
These are the questions we encounter most often! However, everyone has their own unique concerns, so don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions you may have!
How long does the implant last, and is it reversible?
The implant provides continuous contraception for up to 3 years. It can be removed at any time, and fertility typically returns quickly after removal.
Is the insertion process painful?
Insertion is a quick procedure performed by a trained healthcare provider using local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. You might feel some pressure during the procedure, and the area may be tender for a few days.
Can the implant protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs)?
No, the contraceptive implant does not protect against STIs. Using condoms alongside the implant is recommended for protection against infections.
Who is a good candidate for the contraceptive implant?
The implant is a great option for people looking for long-term, low-maintenance birth control. It’s particularly suitable for those who prefer not to use estrogen-based methods. A consultation with the doctor will help you determine if it’s right for you.
