Nexplanon
Nexplanon, administered by Op. Dr. Ebru Ünal in Istanbul, is a small, flexible contraceptive implant developed for women seeking long-term protection. Placed on the inside of the arm after expert evaluation and personalized planning, this system prevents pregnancy with high reliability by releasing regular hormones. This practical method, performed in a clinical setting, eliminates the need for daily medication and provides uninterrupted and effortless protection for 3 years.
Comfortable Protection and Hormonal Harmony
Nexplanon, injected under the skin, stops ovulation thanks to the progestin hormone it contains and thickens the cervical mucus, preventing sperm from passing through. This method, which is fully compatible with the body after application, does not affect tissue regeneration processes and allows natural processes such as skin tone equalization to continue without causing any discomfort in the area where it is placed.
Subcutaneous Protective Implants and Effective Approaches
For women who forget to take their birth control pills daily or are looking for a long-term, reversible solution, Nexplanon offers an ideal option. Suitable candidates include individuals with busy work schedules, those seeking safe contraception during breastfeeding, or women aiming to reduce menstrual cramps. This method involves insertion without leaving a barely noticeable scar on the arm and can be easily removed by a specialist, allowing for the immediate return of fertility.
