Implanon Contraceptive Implant
Long-Acting, Reversible Birth Control – Safe, Simple & Effective
What is Implanon?
Implanon NXT is a hormonal contraceptive implant—a small, thin, flexible rod (4 cm long) inserted just under the skin of your upper arm. It releases etonogestrel, a hormone that prevents pregnancy for up to 3 years.
Why Choose Implanon
- Over 99% effective – one of the most reliable methods available
- Low maintenance – no daily pills or monthly injections
- Reversible – fertility returns quickly after removal
- Discreet and convenient – invisible under the skin
- Safe to use while breastfeeding
How Does Implanon Work?
- Stops ovulation (prevents release of eggs)
- Thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach the egg
- Thins the lining of the uterus, reducing the chance of implantation
What to Expect During Insertion
At Klinik Sentosa:
- Consultation with our doctor
- Local anaesthetic is applied to the upper arm
- Implant is inserted just under the skin using a small applicator
- The procedure takes less than 10 minutes and is usually well tolerated.
Who is Implanon Suitable For?
- Women seeking long-term contraception (up to 3 years)

- Women who prefer a convenient, low-maintenance method
Possible Side Effects
