How Does The Implanon Work?

The Implanon one of the new forms of birth control out on the market is known to be very effective. This thin rod can be compared to the approximate size of a match. 

Implanon is a very flexible plastic piece that is inserted just under the skin of your arm. This type of birth control only contains progestin.

During the process of getting the Implanon inserted it will require you to have a local anesthetic. Once you receive the anesthetic it will only take a few minutes for the procedure to be done. If you wish, the Implanon can be removed at any time you would like, even if your 3 years is not over yet. There is no silicone or latex within the implant, and it is not a product that can dissolve so you will have to have it removed.

 
When the Implanon is inserted, your arm will be sterilized then the anesthetic will be administered. A special applicator will help to insert the device under the skin. Once you have it inserted, you will receive a User Card that will state the exact date that you had the device implanted, along with a date as to when the Implanon should be removed. 

 
The Implanon has the same features just like any other form of contraceptive that helps to stop ovulation.

Iff you think that you would like to have this form of birth control, consult your physician to see if it is the best option for you.
