Nexplanon® Birth Control
Now Offering Nexplanon® Birth Control at AFC East Cobb
At AFC East Cobb, we believe in providing comprehensive, accessible care for
women’s health—right here in our urgent care setting. We’re pleased to announce that
we now offer Nexplanon®, a safe, long-acting birth control option, to our patients.
What Is Nexplanon?
Nexplanon is a small rod (about the size of a matchstick) that’s placed just under the skin of your upper arm. It continuously releases a low dose of progestin to prevent pregnancy. Once inserted, it offers up to three years of protection—with no daily pill, patch, or monthly routine.
Why Choose Nexplanon?
Highly effective — More than 99% effective when inserted correctly
Hassle-free — No need to remember daily pills or monthly routines
Reversible — The implant can be removed at any time, and fertility usually returns quickly
Discreet & low-maintenance — Once placed, it’s virtually unnoticeable


What to Expect at
AFC East Cobb
Our experienced medical team is trained in the insertion and removal of Nexplanon. Here’s how the process works:
Consultation & medical review — We’ll review your health history, medications, and any contraindications.
Placement appointment — A quick, in-office procedure under local anesthetic.
Follow-up & monitoring — We’ll check in after placement and help schedule removal or replacement when the time comes.
Is Nexplanon Right for You?
Nexplanon is a great option for individuals who:
Want long-term, low-maintenance birth control
Prefer not to worry about daily or monthly methods
Are not planning pregnancy in the near future
Meet medical eligibility — Our providers will screen for contraindications. If you have certain hormone-sensitive conditions or health risks, a provider will help you choose a contraceptive method that is safe and effective for you.
