What is a Microdermal piercing?
A Microdermal piercing (also known as Microdermal anchoring) is a similar procedure to any surface piercing; however, it involves only one single-point incision into the skin creating a ‘pocket’ for Microdermal jewellery. The Microdermal anchor is held in place by ‘hooking’ into the pocket of skin. The single-point entry of the procedure means that only one end of the jewellery is seen on the surface of the skin, unlike standard piercings that will have two accessories at each entry hole of the piercing.
What are the advantages of a Microdermal piercing?
Microdermal anchoring is a very versatile procedure that can be placed almost anywhere on the body, although healing can indeed be difficult on areas of high movement. As dermal anchors allow the skin to move, pull & stretch, this allows the body to heal with less scarring and smaller possibility of the jewellery migrating and rejecting. A great range of placement possibilities have been successfully accomplished with dermal anchoring, such as the face, fingers, neck, arms, head, hips and back; all of which are much more difficult to heal as standard surface piercings.
Microdermal piercings are great for body modification where only one visible threaded accessory is desired, such as a ‘Third-Eye’ Microdermal, placed in between the eyebrows.
Microdermal piercings are also very popular as an alternative to lip and labret piercings, as they make tooth damage & gum recession a thing of the past!
How long does a Microdermal piercing take to heal?
Healing time varies depending on placement and care. Some people find healing a fairly quick process within 1-3 months, however, some have been known to take 6-12 months. It is important to note that even after this time, a regular cleaning routine is still important. Careful aftercare instructions will be provided to you when your piercer has done the procedure, depending on how the piercer feels is best for you to look after your new modification!

How is a Microdermal piercing removed?
Microdermal anchors are considered a permanent piercing; once healed, they can only be removed by making an incision into the healed flesh to allow the anchor to be removed. For this reason, it is important to carefully consider the placement of the jewellery when deciding to have the procedure.
