What is Nexplanon removal?

Nexplanon is a contraceptive implant, about the size of a matchstick, that sits just under the skin of your upper arm. Once it’s time to take it out—whether because it’s expired (after 3 years), you want to change birth control, or you're planning for pregnancy—a licensed provider can remove it in a quick, straightforward procedure.

Even better, while you can have it done at the comfortable Holistic Reproductive Wellness Group office, you have other options.

What are my Nexplanon removal options?

In-office removal works fine for many people, but you might have any number of reasons to need birth control care that disrupts your life as little as possible. Whether you’re on a tight schedule, can’t easily travel to the office, or just want to avoid the hassle, the team ensures you always have options that fit your life.

With a convenient housecall service available for a reasonable travel fee, your provider can remove your Nexplanon implant right in the comfort of your own home. The process is safe and quick — no crowded waiting rooms, no extra stress. Just the care you need, wherever you’re comfortable.

What can I expect during my Nexplanon removal?

When you need to remove your implant, check your schedule and book an appointment time that suits you. A trained clinician arrives with everything they need, and the entire process takes less than 15 minutes.

You can expect:

• Your provider numbs a small area on your upper arm with local anesthetic.
• They make a tiny incision to gently slide the implant out
• You’ll finish with a small bandage

The team provides you with simple instructions for post-removal care and your next steps, including birth control counseling if you’re switching methods. You can usually return to your regular routine the same day. Most people describe the process as easy, fast, and virtually painless.

Whether your Nexplanon has reached the end of its three-year life, you're planning a pregnancy, or simply want to try a new form of birth control, removing your implant doesn’t have to be complicated. Contact the Holistic Reproductive Wellness Group by phone or online today to take the next step in whatever way works best for you.
