Dermal piercings are also known as single-point piercings. That’s because deals don’t have a separate entry and exit point for jewelry, unlike traditional piercings. For a dermal piercing, your piercer will create one small hole so that an “anchor” can be inserted into the middle layer (dermis) of your skin.
The difference between dermal and surface Piercing.
A surface piercing has an entrance and an exit with a surface bar connecting the two. A dermal anchor is a single-point piercing with only one hole in which the dermal anchor base sits. Neither of these piercings is “traditional” in the way a nostril or lip piercing is.
Is Dermal piercing good?
Dermals can last as long as you properly care for them,” Darling says. “I have clients who have had dermal for over eight years. If you treat them well, they could last a very long time.
Dermal piercings give us dimples.
The cheek piercing allows us to emulate the dimpled look even if we don’t have dimples. Dainty jewelry styles sit where our dimples would be, and when we smile, we’ll pull in a little bit, offering the brightness to our smile that natural dimples would provide.
Is dermal safe for us?
There are many risks associated with getting dermal piercings, health experts warn. Wearers can suffer from infections where the piercing lays if not done in a sterile environment, as well as tissue damage and scarring in the area.
Healing Process.
Dermal piercings typically take 1-3 months to fully heal, although healing times can vary depending on the placement and individual factors such as skin type and aftercare practices. Because the piercing involves placing a foreign object beneath the skin, proper aftercare is crucial to avoid complications such as infection, rejection, or migration
Conclusion.
Dermal piercings offer a unique and versatile way to express one’s style, but we also require proper care and attention to avoid complications. We recommend doing that for 1-2 weeks after getting the piercing. The dermal can take up to 2 to 6 months to heal. It’s also important to protect our dermal piercing while it’s healing, so it doesn’t get snagged and displaced or pulled out.
