Whether you’re starting, switching, or stopping your birth control, we make it simple to find the right implant service near you.
The contraceptive implant is a small, flexible rod placed under the skin of your upper arm. It releases a steady dose of progesterone to prevent pregnancy for up to 3 years. The implant service includes initial consultation, fitting, follow-up care, and removal when needed. It is over 99% effective and a popular long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) method.
At your contraceptive implant appointment, you can expect:
A private consultation discussing your health history and contraception needs
An explanation of how the implant works and its possible side effects
A quick, minor procedure to insert the implant under local anaesthetic
Advice on aftercare and when it becomes effective
Follow-up support or a future removal/replacement appointment
Removal is also a straightforward procedure, done under local anaesthetic.
Contraceptive implant services are carried out by:
General Practitioners (GPs)
