Dermal Piercings

Dermal Piercing, also known as Micro dermal Piercing, is a kind of body piercing. It is a permanent method that involves making a perforation in the sub-dermal skin layer of the body. Such perforations can be made on almost all surfaces of the skin and can be removed only with the aid of a medical professional. This is why this is considered to be a permanent method.

Dermal Piercing is a simple process which needs a lot of care and precision. The method starts with cleaning the part of the skin where you want to make a piercing. An alcohol based cleansing agent is used to free the region from impurities.
If needed, the area to be perforated is shaved to make it free from hair. This is true in case of areas like chest and wrist.
The region to be perforated is marked with a surgical pen. Two spots are marked to indicate the points of entry and exit of the needle.
The fourth step involves ‘boring’ or making a hole on the skin surface. A surgical needle is sterilized, usually with 70% alcohol. It is inserted through one of the markings and taken out of the other. The hole is made into the skin layer which reaches down to the muscle layer.
The foot of the jewellery or ‘dermal anchor’ is inserted into this perforation. When the tissue heals, the foot of the Dermal Piercing anchor is firmly held in place. After Dermal Piercing removal of jewelry is not possible unless surgical means are adopted.
