All About Microdermal Piercing:
Types, Procedure, Aftercare, and Risks

Microdermal piercing, or microdermal, is an innovative and aesthetically appealing method of body adornment that combines elements of piercing and implantation.

It allows for unique designs on any area of the skin where traditional piercing is impossible. In this article, we will explore what microdermal piercing is, its types, the installation procedure, aftercare, and associated risks.

Microdermal piercing involves the placement of a small titanium anchor under the skin, to which a piece of jewelry is attached.

Unlike traditional piercing, where a needle goes through the skin, the microdermal anchor is fixed in the subdermal tissue, allowing for placement on various body parts. Titanium jewelry is used due to its hypoallergenic properties and durability.

There are several types of microdermal piercing, differing in shape and placement:

1. Classic Microdermal
   1. Installed on any part of the body and typically used for creating a focal point.
2. Skin Diver
   1. Similar to classic microdermal but with a different base shape that is fixed deeper into the skin.
3. Angled Skin Diver
   1. Allows the jewelry to be set at a specific angle, creating unique visual effects.
4. Transdermal Implant
   1. A more complex type involving jewelry that is partially under the skin and partially above it.

The microdermal installation process begins with thorough disinfection of the chosen skin area.

The piercer then makes a small puncture or incision using a dermal punch. The titanium anchor is inserted into this puncture and fixed under the skin. Jewelry is then screwed onto the external part of the anchor. The procedure takes a few minutes and typically involves minimal pain.

Proper aftercare is crucial to prevent infections and ensure successful healing:

• Cleanliness: Clean the piercing daily with a saline solution or a recommended antiseptic.
• Avoid Trauma: Try not to bump or put pressure on the piercing, especially in the first few weeks.
• Protection: Wear loose clothing to minimize contact with the piercing.

Complete healing of a microdermal piercing takes 6 to 12 weeks. During this period, it is advisable to avoid swimming pools, saunas, and other environments that could expose the piercing to bacteria.

Like any other type of piercing, microdermal piercing has its risks:

• Infection: Improper aftercare can lead to inflammation and infection.
• Rejection: In some cases, the body may reject the implant.
• Displacement: Trauma or excessive pressure can cause the anchor to shift, necessitating a repeat procedure.
