Normal body piercings have entry and exit points for jewelry, but in a dermal piercing, the jewelry sits on the surface of the skin and is secured with an anchor that is embedded in the dermal layer. This gives the appearance of having small beads on the surface of the skin. Microdermal Piercings are great and are a great idea to decorate your body with something special. Today in this blog we want to give you information about microdermal Piercing so that you can learn what they are, how they are placed and you can see their special designs.

What is a microdermal piercing?

A dermal piercing, also known as a microdermal piercing or single point piercing, is a piercing that sits on any flat surface of the body and is held in place with a dermal anchor that is installed under the skin. This type of surface piercing is popular today because it can be placed on almost any flat surface on the body, allowing you to decorate areas that are difficult to pierce with regular piercings. Through these Piercing patterns can be formed using multiple dermis, or you can also attach an ornament, which is popular with dermal finger piercings. The customization options are endless and you can choose the one that best suits your style.

How to get a microdermal Piercing?

Because there is no exit point, the jewelry enters the body and is then held in place by an anchor that is inserted below the surface of the skin. To do this, a needle or dermal punch is used to remove a small piece of meat, which creates a small hole in the skin. Next, a round or legged dermal anchor is inserted into the area, and finally the jewels are screwed onto the anchor so that the jewel is perfect on your skin.

Installation of a dermal piercing with needles

The process to place a dermal piercing with needles is as follows:

  • It is important that the area where the Piercing is to be placed is sterilized with a surgical scrub.
  • It is important that the area is marked with ink for greater precision.
  • The needle is inserted into the skin and then pulled out, creating a pocket or pouch where the anchor will be inserted.
  • Using tweezers, the piercer will insert the anchor base plate into the hole or pocket that was created earlier. The anchor is pushed in until it is completely under the skin and parallel to the surface.
  • The jewelry is screwed onto the screw head. Sometimes the jewelry is placed before the procedure.

Attention: The needles used must be made especially for piercings or medical procedures, and it is important to choose the appropriate needle size depending on the location of the piercing and the anatomy of the client's skin.

Installing a Dermal Piercing with a punch

When a dermal piercing is performed with a punch, the bag is performed in a different way. When using a needle, the pouch is made by separating the skin, but when using a dermal punch, the pouch is made by removing some tissue. Then the base plate, anchor and jewelry are inserted. Microdermal piercings are most often done using a dermal punch because the punch is less painful. It is also safer than a needle because it has a protective mechanism that prevents the piercing from penetrating too far into the skin.

Attention: It is important that these two procedures are performed by an expert in the area and a professional. Under no circumstances should you perform a dermal Piercing yourself. 

What are the problems of wearing a microdermal Piercing?

Of all the types of body piercings, dermal piercings are the most prone to migration and ultimately rejection by the body. This means that before the skin can grow around the jewelry, the body will defend itself from this “foreign object” by pushing the jewelry closer to the surface of the skin until it is completely removed. Dermal implants have a high risk of rejection because they cannot penetrate deep into the skin. The less skin there is to hold the jewelry in place, the more likely the body has to remove it.

You can minimize the chances of rejection by following these tips:

  • Choose an area of ​​the body with more skin.
  • The places where jewelry is most likely to be rejected include the sternum, any part of the face, the nape of the neck, and the throat area.
  • The back or thighs are areas that you are less likely to reject because there is more skin to work with.
  • Try using titanium or niobium instead of stainless steel.
  • If the surface is punctured, try a larger gauge.

Risks of skin perforation

The main risk of dermal perforation is tissue damageespecially when the piercing is performed by a person who is not a professional body modification expert. The dermal layer contains nerves and blood vessels, which can be damaged when the piercing is not installed properly. If the piercing settles too deep into the skin, it can pull the layers of the skin together, leading to encrustation. If the perforation is too shallow, it can migrate. During healing, it is important to avoid twisting or pulling the implant, or snagging it on clothing or towels.

La infection It can occur when the equipment used is not sterile or when the piercing is not cleaned regularly. An infection of the deeper layers of skin and fat, called cellulitis, can be caused by airborne bacteria infecting the location of the piercing while the procedure is being performed. Symptoms of infection include inflammation of the surrounding area, redness, rash, pus, and / or pain. If you experience these symptoms, speak to your doctor immediately. Antibiotics can be given.

La Hypergranulation It is a red bump that appears around the hole in the skin where the jewelry is placed. Hypergranulation occurs when the jewelry is too tight or there is too much pressure on the area. Do not cover the piercing too much; let it breathe. If your surface piercing is in an area where you wear tight clothing (such as the belt line area), then wear looser clothing. Sometimes a well screwed top anchor can also be the cause. If you suspect that the top is screwed in too much, go back to the piercer and ask them to loosen it. Don't try to let go of it yourself while you're still healing.

You can experience the scars around the area if jewelry is removed or rejected. To reduce scars, keep the area clean and hydrated with a mild oil, such as jojoba oil. If deep, permanent scars have already occurred, you may be able to minimize the appearance of scars with a hyaluronic acid dermal filler administered by a licensed professional.

Types of microdermal jewelry

There are different types of microdermal Piercing and here we are going to tell you what they are.

Dermal anchors: There are two types of dermal anchors. There is the flatfoot dermal anchor and the rounded base variety. The foot is safer because the foot is at an angle, making it less likely to come straight out of your skin.

Dermal caps- This is the jewelry that screws onto the top of the anchor. This can be changed. Typically, a piercer will screw in and unscrew the microdermal bolt because it requires careful maneuvering.

Barras- Surface piercing micro rods that have an entry and exit point on the surface of the skin are preferred.

Skin divers: a leather diver has a pointed toe base and a jewel on top. To insert, the piercer performs a biopsy punch to create a pocket where the base will seat. Once the skin heals, the jewelry cannot be exchanged.

Materials of micro dermal Piercing

Titanium or anodized titanium: this is the safest option for people with sensitive skin. It is the least likely to cause irritation. Anodized titanium is any metal coated with titanium.

Surgical grade stainless steel- This is the most popular material used for body jewelry. It is safe, but there is a possibility that it could cause irritation.

niobium: Like titanium, niobium is hypoallergenic and non-corrosive.
