Contraceptive implant, a stick the size of a match, can be inserted under the skin in the upper arm by the gynaecologist with a special needle. The procedure is painless and fast.

The implant releases a small dose of a female sex hormone called progestin into the bloodstream every day and the effect lasts for up to three years.

The implant is a easily concealed contraceptive, that is suitable for women who wish to avoid a daily, weekly or monthly contraceptive regimen. Fertility recovers within 3-4 weeks after removing the implant.

The implant is an available option also for breastfeeding moms and can be used from 6 weeks after giving birth.
