"i have been on the implanon for a year now. i loved it at first. i had no side effects other than bam like 6 months into it i noticed a bald spot in my head it started to get bigger an more started to appear. i used to have a full head of hair now i&#039;m going completely bald. i went to a dermatologist and they told me i had alopecia areata. i then started to look more into its cause. i had never had this problem before and found out that the implanon causes hair-loss. a lot of people who used it had the same problem and once they got off it grew back. i&#039;m waiting to get this removed."
