What do I need to
know before getting a
microdermal piercing?

Dermal piercings—also known as microdermal piercings or single-point piercings—are piercings that lie flat against the surface of the skin.

Unlike traditional punctures, there is no exit wound. Puncture is carried out deep into the skin. The decoration is tightly attached to the skin surface. Microdermal piercing is a fashion trend, as evidenced by the 2023 shows of the Givenchy and Balenciaga collections.

One of the main advantages is the ability to place in any part of the body and face. With the help of implanted jewellery create patterns on the chest and neck, cheeks and cheekbones, chin and forehead, abdomen and wrists. Microdermal piercing is chosen to create additional accents on tattoos, highlight beautiful facial features and attract attention to certain parts of the body.

In the salon «VeAn» microdermal piercing is done in accordance with sanitary standards and medical protocols.

The master treats the skin with a disinfectant composition and plans the marking. If the location of the future decoration suits the client, using a round scalpel, the puncture is carried out deep into the dermis. The depth of the puncture is about 2-5 mm.

A special anchor implant is inserted into the opening hole with the help of tongs, the end of which is a flat plate with a diameter of 6-7 mm. The plate prevents the implant from falling out of the hole. Rhinestones, gemstones and their imitations can be fixed on the protruding end of the rod of the decoration. After installing the decoration, the master closes the wound with a patch. The procedure takes several minutes.

Microdermal piercing is done on the abdomen and clavicles, in different areas of the face and on the fingers.

This type of puncture can be placed almost anywhere. When deciding to install microdermal, it is important to remember that the skin after healing may remain scar if you decide not to wear the jewelry anymore.

The level of pain during the procedure varies depending on the location of the puncture and individual sensitivity to pain stimuli. Immediately after the procedure, there is redness and swelling of the tissues, which is a normal reaction of the body to damage of the skin. Usually such manifestations take place on 7-10 days.

Choosing a reliable salon, you protect yourself from negative health effects. When choosing a place for puncture, experienced master takes into account the location of the nerve endings, the thickness of the skin, proximity to the veins. These factors determine the level of pain when performing the hole and the level of comfort when wearing the jewelry. If nerve endings are affected during the procedure, neuropathy and neuralgia may develop.

The healing period is 1-3 months.

This period depends on the individual features of the body and the quality of aftercare. In «VeAn» salon you will receive detailed instructions on how to organize aftercare for the place of exposure. With us you can buy professional products that will simplify and accelerate the process of tissue healing. The main recommendations:

• Clean the piercing with a cotton pad soaked in a disinfectant solution.
• Dry the treated surface with a paper towel.
• Tape the wound to reduce the friction on the clothes.
• Do not touch a puncture with your hands.
• Avoid contact of the decoration with garments and hair.
• Do not allow piercing of detergents and cosmetics.

To prevent water from entering the wound, you should cover the piercing with a patch during hygienic water procedures. Proper care prevents complications of infection, inflammation and scarring. It is not allowed to replace the decoration independently until the complete healing of the puncture. Signs of infection include increased body temperature, swelling, redness and soreness at the site of exposure. If you experience anxiety symptoms, you should contact a master or doctor.

Microdermal piercing jewelry is made from hypoallergenic materials - medical steel, titanium, silver, gold and platinum.

According to the recommendations of experienced masters, the best as the first decoration will be titanium product. In this case, the risk of complication is minimized. Jewelry usually have a flat surface so that the piercing doesn’t cling to the clothes. The shape of the covers varies greatly, allowing you to choose the decoration taking into account personal preferences and style of clothing. Hearts and colours, stars and crosses are available, decorated with rhinestones and precious stones.

To get rid of piercing microdermal, you need to contact a master.

You should not independently try to remove the implant. Unprofessional actions can lead to infection and severe skin damage, which will cause a large scar. The peculiarity of this type of puncture - independent fall-out 1-5 years after installation. Implant loss is associated with permanent regeneration of the skin tissue. As a result, the anchor is gradually pushed up.
