Subdermal Contraceptive Implant (Implanon)

What Is Subdermal Contraceptive Implant Implanon?

A Subdermal Contraceptive Implant (Implanon) is a long-acting, reversible contraceptive method that provides continuous pregnancy prevention through the slow release of a progestin hormone. The implant is a small, flexible rod inserted just beneath the skin of the upper arm, offering highly effective contraception for several years without requiring daily attention.

The implant works primarily by preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to reduce sperm movement, and thinning the uterine lining, making pregnancy highly unlikely. Because it provides continuous hormonal contraception, it is an ideal option for women seeking reliable, low-maintenance birth control that can be reversed whenever pregnancy is desired.

At Second Spring Women's Clinic, subdermal contraceptive implant services are provided with individualized counseling and comprehensive gynecologic evaluation. As a women-only clinic specializing in hormonal balance, gynecologic health, and personalized care tailored to each stage of a woman's life, the clinic ensures that every patient receives contraceptive advice based on her health history, reproductive goals, and lifestyle.

Under the care of Dr. Seon-Hwa Jeong, patients receive detailed counseling regarding the benefits, possible side effects, insertion procedure, removal process, and expected menstrual changes to help them make informed contraceptive decisions.
