Good morning
I have a contraceptive implant implanon NXT, I have been losing weight now and I have lost a lot of weight also from my hands, arms, I am afraid that because of this I have less body fat and I sunbathe a lot in the sun every day for several hours, and I also lubricate my skin a lot with various lotions with fruit extracts, and I also perfume my arms and I am afraid that it may somehow affect the effectiveness of the implant, because this implant will now be through this weight loss closer to the surface of the skin

To @Aneta:

Sunburn does not directly affect the performance of the contraceptive implant. The implant works by releasing the hormone etonogestrel, which regulates the menstrual cycle and prevents ovulation, and its effectiveness is not dependent on the condition of the skin.

If the burn is severe and causes significant discomfort or infection at the implant site, it is worth consulting a doctor.

Can sunburn affect the performance of a contraceptive implant? I was at the lake a week ago, I forgot my cream and I got a red tan, now my skin is peeling off and tiny bubbles have appeared from which water is pouring out.

I posted a response from the manufacturer, because we have such information. In my opinion, the implant is intended for use in normal conditions of everyday life, so there is no need to analyze every environmental factor. It is located inside the body and in my opinion, a simple daytime walk in the sun will not affect its operation. Regardless, the skin should be protected from the sun's rays for health reasons.

So it is not known whether it affects? I did not sunbathe on purpose but during the walk the sun burned my arms and hands red.

I enclose the answer to a similar question: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/43947/czy-podczas-stosowania-implantu-antykoncepcyjnego-mozna-korzystac-z-naswietlen-la In addition, it is worth mentioning that when using hormonal contraception, sunbathing can lead to the formation of ugly discolorations, especially in patients, and who have now or in the past had chloasma (yellow-brown pigment spots on the skin, especially the face). In such cases, solar radiation or ultraviolet radiation should be avoided.
