How does it work?
A doctor inserts the tiny, thin implant under the skin of your upper arm. It releases the hormone progestin to stop you from getting pregnant.
Effectiveness
The implant is one of the best birth control methods out there — it’s more than 99% effective.
Benefits of the implant
The implant is a super effective and convenient way to prevent pregnancy for up to 5 years — you get it, then forget it. The implant also has positive side effects.

Fun Fact: I am afraid of heights (😶) but I love rollercoasters. ☝️🎢
