What Are Microdermal Implants

In simple words, microdermal implants are single point piercing, wherein only one end or bead is visible to the eye. They can be placed anywhere on the body and hence, are considered as a cool alternative to traditional surface body piercing. Also known as dermal anchors, surface anchors, microdermal anchors and single point piercing, microdermal implants are the latest trend in the body modification realm, rapidly becoming popular due to their semi-permanence and versatility. One of the most beneficial factors of microdermal implants is that they are less painful than surface piercing. Surveys indicate that the success rate of microdermal implants is greater than surface piercings.

 

The microdermal jewelry includes two parts, anchor and bead. Anchor is a very small metal piece with tiny round holes in it, which is inserted into the skin. The anchor is held intact, allowing the skin to adhere itself through the holes on the anchor. The second part is the bead or gem that is visible on the surface of the skin. Though the process for inserting a microdermal is simple, it should be done only by an experienced body modification professional, who has worked with the anchors. The best part about microdermal implants is that they can be easily changed with a new one, to give a new look. Check out the procedure for inserting a microdermal in the following lines.
