Despite being well known among professionals and piercing lovers, microdermal is still a little strange for most people.
With that in mind, we created this post so that you can learn a little more about this accessory. So stay with us!
What is it? How is it placed?
O piercing microdermal, also known as dermal anchor, is the famous single point piercing. That's because, unlike conventional piercings (which have an entrance and an exit), it only makes a hole in the skin.
You must be wondering 'how is this possible? if it goes in through a hole, it has to come out through another, right?'. No, the microdermal was made exactly to have a single hole and you can understand better after seeing the jewel:
This is microdermal jewelry compared to a coin and navel piercing jewelry. You can tell she's super tiny, right?
The bottom part is the anchor, which is hidden under the skin, and the top part is the pebble that is visible.
See the little holes in the anchor? It's to make room for skin growth, making it grow through them and give a greater stability for the piercing, And decrease the pressure your body puts on the garment (this would make your piercing easily pull out and increase the chances of a rejection).
The variety of jewelry is quite large and after the piercing is done you only need to change the pebble, you don't change the anchor (thank goodness!). You can find some models at Galeria do Rock if you live in São Paulo or in online stores like this site with several cool models (they deliver to Brazil).
You can place it with needles and scalpels or with the punch technique, which is the most used because it is a less painful and faster procedure.

NOTE : The microdermal can be easily confused with a surface piercing and the only difference between the two is that the surface is like a conventional piercing, with an entrance and an exit.
If you are a fan of the surface, you can opt for two microdermal jewels, since its body rejection rate is very low and the healing process is super smooth!
Microdermal Piercing Does it hurt?
It depends a lot on your pain sensitivity, but most people say the pain is pretty quiet and bearable and some say it just feels good pressure on the skin.
The depth of the microdermal is 2 to 3mm below the surface of the skin, which is extremely shallow. The procedure is very quick and people rarely have problems during healing, but despite this, you should be aware that to remove the anchor you will need to go back to the professional to have it removed.
Unfortunately, it's not like conventional piercings where you just need to remove the jewelry and wait for the hole to close.
If you like the microdermal piercing, don't worry about it, the removal procedure is just as quick as the placement. See in the video below:
How much?
It depends a lot on your professional, but he is more expensive than a conventional piercing, which tends to cost around 40 reais. The microdermal usually around 100 to 150 reais, depending on the jewelry and studio you choose.

Os microdermal piercing care are the same as a conventional piercing. You can use warm salt water to clean and help healing and use clean tissues or towels (cotton can get caught in the jewelry).
