Nexplanon®: The Set-and-Forget Solution
Experience the freedom of long-term protection without the daily pill. Nexplanon offers high-tier efficacy through a discreet, innovative implant.
Actual Size: 4cm
Advanced Hormonal Delivery
Nexplanon is a small, thin, and flexible plastic rod discreetly placed under the skin of your inner, upper arm. It works by releasing a low, steady dose of hormones that:
- Thins the lining of the uterus
- Thickens cervical mucus to block sperm
- Prevents ovulation consistently
The Implantation Process
A simple, in-office procedure that takes only 1–2 minutes.
Evaluation
Dr. Elias determines the best timing for insertion based on your cycle and health history.
Preparation
The inner arm is positioned and a local anesthetic is applied to ensure total comfort.
Insertion
Using a specialized applicator, the device is placed just under the skin between the biceps and triceps.
Confirmation
You and your provider will feel the arm to confirm placement. A small bandage is applied.
Lifespan & Removal
Nexplanon protects you for up to three years. At that mark, it must be replaced to continue protection. However, you are never "locked in"—the device can be removed at any time in a quick, five-minute procedure, allowing for a rapid return to fertility if you decide to conceive.

Perfect for those who may forget daily medications.
Estrogen-Free
A great choice for women who cannot use estrogen-based birth control.
Total Discretion
Placed under the skin, it is invisible to others.
