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 cannot take estrogen (e.g., breastfeeding mothers, those with migraines)
  • Women who prefer a convenient, low-maintenance method

Possible Side Effects

  • Irregular bleeding (especially in the first 6 to 12 months)
  • Headaches, mood changes, acne (in some cases)
  • Weight changes (usually minimal)

Most side effects are temporary and manageable. Our doctors will explain everything during your consultation and monitor your experience if needed.
