What Is Dermal Piercing?

Dermal piercing, single point piercing or microdermal piercing refers to a procedure that involves skin perforation to enable an anchor piercing to be inserted under the skin, piercing which is only visible on the surface of the skin.

Dermal piercing is different from surface piercing, as the former involves the embedding of a titanium implant (an anchor) in the dermal layer of the skin. The anchor has several holes, allowing for skin growth that will further stabilize the dermal piercing.

Dermal piercing may be performed on any flat surface of the skin, even in those areas less accessible to standard piercing.
