Contraceptive Implant

Understanding Contraceptive Implants

Contraceptive implants are a type of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) that provides effective birth control for several years. They are small, flexible rods inserted under the skin of the upper arm, releasing a steady dose of progestin hormone to prevent ovulation.

When Is the Procedure Recommended

Contraceptive implants are recommended for individuals seeking a long-term, reversible method of birth control. They are particularly suitable for those who cannot or prefer not to use contraception that contains oestrogen.

Contraceptive Implant Insertion: A healthcare provider numbs the area and inserts the implant under the skin of the upper arm.
Contraceptive Implant Removal: The implant can be removed by a healthcare provider at any time. The area is numbed, a small incision is made, and the implant is gently removed.
