About contraceptive implant insertion

A contraceptive implant insertion is a procedure where a small flexible rod containing hormones is placed under the skin of the upper arm to provide long-term contraception. It's one of the most effective contraceptive treatments in the UK, often used to prevent pregnancy for up to three years.

Privately, contraceptive implant insertion in the UK typically costs between £150 and £450, depending on the clinic, consultation requirements and whether the implant device is included.

What affects the cost of contraceptive implant insertion:

  • Implant type — the cost of the implant device itself is usually included but can vary between providers.
  • Consultation requirements — some clinics include pre-treatment assessments and follow-up appointments.
  • Clinic & location — private healthcare fees are generally higher in London and other major cities.
  • Additional treatment — implant removal, replacement procedures or health screening tests can increase the total cost.

Most clinics quote a "from" price, so confirm the full fee — including the implant device, insertion procedure and follow-up care — before booking.
