The dermal anchor often finds a suitable place on the face or neck. Depending on your wishes, you can combine one or more dermal anchors accordingly. Popular spots on the face are around the eye, where a dermal filler is usually placed next to the eye or below it.
We often place the DAs above the eye at eyebrow level. The implants are also placed on the ear or opposite the tragus. Another popular place is on the neck and behind the ear, where tattoos are often decorated.
Story of Dermal Anchor:
Dermal anchors are still relatively new. Since their introduction in mid-2006, micro dermals have experienced a real boom. In the early days, nose stud-like jewelry was used.
A loop under the skin was supposed to ensure stability by growing in. However, after initial experience with implants specially made for this purpose, it became clear that this would produce better results.
We currently have access to a wide range of implants, ensuring optimal use in almost all areas of the body.
The appropriate implant is selected depending on the skin area, puncture depth, etc.
Positioning & Motives:
You can decorate almost any area of the skin with a dermal anchor. Since there are so many subplates, a trained professional can choose the right plate for the corresponding area.
Dermal anchors are often placed around the eyes, on the neck, in the fossa, on the navel. Dermals are also occasionally found on the hands, arms and legs.
Motifs or shapes, such as stars or crosses, are often engraved on the back.
The dermal anchor is also worn by many women in the intimate area or on the pubic bone.
Tattoos always offer a good opportunity to use a dermal as a highlight.
Healing and care of Dermal Anchor:
Important:
Touch the single-point piercing as little as possible (and if you do, only with washed and disinfected fingers) or expose it to other unnecessary irritations.
Do not remove or twist the piercing during cleaning, as both can damage the wound channel. Use spray and gel twice daily for the first 2-3 weeks and then once daily for a further 3 weeks.
Healing process for all single-point piercings:
- Depending on the piercing location, healing can take between 3 and 12 weeks. Complete healing takes up to 12 months. Swelling of the lymph nodes is completely normal in the first few weeks.
- In the beginning, only have your piercing changed by your piercer because of the ball, bar and ring sizes.
- Never tape your piercing shut. You should also not use any wound healing ointments, alcoholic or chlorine-based disinfectants, hydrogen peroxide or essential oils.
- Saunas, solariums, steam baths and all types of baths (swimming) must be avoided for the next two weeks. Exception: sea water is allowed after 7 days.
- Do not dye or tint your hair for 6 weeks; be careful when combing and at the hairdresser.
- It is normal for your piercing to produce some discharge (clear at first, then yellow/brownish - please do not confuse this with pus) and sebum. This is part of the healing process. You can simply remove it carefully after soaking it with spray or taking a shower.
Healing Process
- Mild redness and swelling as well as slight bleeding are normal in the first 10 days.
- Be careful when dressing and undressing, eating, shaving, applying cream, showering, washing, etc. so that you don't accidentally injure your piercing by getting it caught. Also be careful when opening cupboards, etc.
- Avoid lying down a lot or putting pressure on the piercing, as this can cause it to become crooked.
- If your piercing grows “crooked” in an unwanted direction, you can move it in the appropriate growth direction by turning it slightly and holding it for a few seconds.
Jewelry:
The implant is inserted into the tissue and stays there. The implant itself cannot be changed because it is in the skin. Implant itself is about 1.5 mm in size. However, you can change the attachments; they are currently available in four different sizes: 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm and even 6 mm. There are round discs with stones in all colors and also motifs such as stars.
The attachments are also available in gold; it is safe to say that new designs come onto the market almost weekly.
The dermal anchor is more popular than ever and is no longer considered “dangerous”.
