Birth control with Implanon

Implanon is a popular birth control device that our women’s health Doctors provide to patients, including insertion, removal and after care support.

Lasting for up to three years, Implanon is a small plastic rod of 4cm placed under the skin of the upper arm. It contains a progestogen hormone that slowly releases into the blood stream.

At SmartClinics, our group of highly skilled GP’s provide support and assistance in choosing the right contraception for you and your body.
