Contraceptive Implant (Implanon) Insertion & Removal

$0.00

The contraceptive implant is a small, soft rod placed just under the skin of your upper arm. It quietly does its job for up to three years, which makes it a good fit if you would rather not think about contraception day to day.

Fitting the implant is quick and done here at the practice using a little local anaesthetic, so the area is numb. Most people find it very manageable, and we will talk you through what to expect and what is normal afterwards.

We will also go over how it might affect your cycle, since this varies from person to person, and what your options are if it does not suit you. Nothing is permanent, if you change your mind or your plans change, we can remove it here whenever you are ready.

When to book: if you would like an implant fitted, are due to replace one, or would like yours removed.
