Pia has arrived with all of her fears (and she is not the only one!). Let’s clarify these aspects well. The subdermal implant is inserted (and removed) in the hospital by a gynecologist, who makes a small incision in the inside of the arm. The insertion time is approximately 28-30 seconds, which is very short, and the woman practically doesn’t even realize it. In any case, to reduce any discomfort, a mild local anesthetic is administered. Additionally, the applicator is easily handled and functions well, according to the statements of the women themselves in a study conducted across 23 international centers.
When inserted correctly, the subdermal implant remains in its original position throughout the 3-year period. You shouldn’t worry that it will move!
