Implant insertion — step by step
Brief consultation
our doctor confirms suitability, checks your medical history and answers any questions before proceeding.
Local anaesthetic
A small injection numbs the area on the inner upper arm. This is the only significant discomfort in the procedure.
Insertion — under 2 minutes
The implant is inserted just under the skin using a small applicator. You may feel a little pressure but no pain once the area is numb.
Small dressing applied
A small bandage is applied. You can drive, work and return to normal activities immediately. Some bruising for a few days is normal.
Contraceptive cover
our doctor will advise when your contraceptive cover begins — usually immediate if inserted at the correct time in your cycle.
About Nexplanon
Nexplanon is a small, flexible rod — about the size of a matchstick — that sits just under the skin of your upper arm. It releases a low, steady dose of progestogen (etonogestrel) and is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.
It contains no oestrogen, making it suitable for women who can't take combined hormonal contraception — including those who are breastfeeding, have migraines with aura, or have certain cardiovascular risk factors.
What about periods?
Periods with the implant are unpredictable. For some women they stop altogether; for others they become lighter and irregular. A minority experience more frequent spotting. our doctor will talk through what to realistically expect for you individually.
Implant removal
The implant can be removed at any point before the 3-year mark. Removal takes approximately 10 minutes under local anaesthetic. Fertility returns immediately. our doctor offers removal of implants fitted elsewhere — not just those fitted at this clinic.
