NEXPLANON

At Complete Healthcare for Women, we offer Nexplanon®, a long-acting, reversible birth control implant that provides up to 3 years of continuous pregnancy prevention. For women seeking a low-maintenance, highly effective contraceptive option, Nexplanon offers convenience without daily pills, patches, or procedures.

 

What Is Nexplanon?

Nexplanon is a small, flexible rod (about the size of a matchstick) inserted just under the skin of your upper arm. It releases a steady, low dose of etonogestrel, a progestin hormone, which prevents ovulation and thickens cervical mucus to block sperm.

 

Key Benefits

• Over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy

• Lasts up to 3 years

• Can be removed at any time with a quick office procedure

• Safe for women who cannot take estrogen

• May reduce or eliminate menstrual periods over time

 

What to Expect

Insertion takes just a few minutes and is performed under local anesthesia in our office. Most women experience minimal discomfort and return to normal activities the same day. Removal is also simple and done in-office when you're ready to discontinue or switch methods.

 

Is Nexplanon Right for You?

Nexplanon may be a great fit for women who want long-term contraception without daily attention or monthly refills. It is safe for use while breastfeeding and is reversible if you decide to become pregnant in the future. Our experienced providers will help you weigh the benefits and side effects to determine if Nexplanon aligns with your personal health goals.
