Dermal Piercing Perth

There are many different types of dermal piercings, each with its own unique look. Some dermal piercings are more visible than others, and some can take longer to heal.

Here’s a quick guide to some of the most popular dermal piercings:

Dermal anchors (also called dermal tops or dermal implants): these are small metal disks that are inserted into the skin. These piercings can be placed almost anywhere on the body at your piercer’s discretion. They can be decorated with a variety of jewellery, including balls, gemstones and opals. Dermal anchors take about 8-12 weeks to heal.

Microdermals: these are similar to dermal anchors, but they have a smaller surface area. They can be placed almost anywhere on the body, and are often used to create unique patterns or designs. Microdermals take about 8-12 weeks to heal.

Surface piercings: these are piercings that go through the top layer of skin, the epidermis. Unlike the dermal anchor, surface bars are a full bar with two tops that show above the skin while the bar is underneath. They are usually placed on the cheek, in front of the tragus or on the back of the neck. Surface piercings take about 8-16 weeks to heal.

If you’re considering any type of dermal piercing, it’s important to do your research and understand the risks and rewards of the piercing.

Dermal piercings can be delicate, which can cause them to catch, pull or stretch, this may cause the piercing to ‘reject’ (pull to the surface).

However, once you’ve got your dermal piercing, it’s important to follow all aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.
