What Is Nexplanon?
Nexplanon is a progestin-only birth control implant that is inserted under the skin of the upper arm. It slowly releases etonogestrel, a hormone that:
- Prevents ovulation
- Thickens cervical mucus to block sperm
- Thins the uterine lining to prevent implantation
Key features:
- 99% effectiveness
- Lasts for up to 3 years
- Can be removed anytime to restore fertility quickly
- Requires no daily maintenance
Who Should Consider Nexplanon?
Nexplanon is ideal for women who:
- Want long-term contraception without daily pills
- Cannot tolerate estrogen-based birth control
- Are planning to delay pregnancy for several years
- Prefer a discreet, non-intrusive method
- Need reliable contraception while breastfeeding
In Korea, gynecologists offer a thorough consultation to assess your health history and confirm that Nexplanon is the right choice for you.
How Is Nexplanon Inserted in Korea?
Insertion process:
- A local anesthetic is applied to the inner upper arm
- The implant is inserted just under the skin using a pre-loaded applicator
- A small bandage is applied, and you'll be monitored briefly before leaving
- The entire procedure takes about 10–15 minutes
Removal process (after 3 years or upon request):
- Performed under local anesthesia
- A small incision is made to remove the implant
