The majority of skin lumps and bumps are easily removed. We don’t add herbs and spices to treatment, to empty your pocket. We use the simplest and best established method so you can run out the door and back to work.

  • Embeded implanon  in the muscles. Here, we use an ultrasound and a hook to localise the implanon rod. When embedded in the muscle these implanted rods will be stuck like glue. They don’t come out so neatly like when they were placed in the subcutaneous fat. Patient with skinny arms are most at risk for intramuscular implant due to lack of subcutaneous fat.
