Dermal Implants
Subdermal implantation is when an object is surgically implanted beneath the layers of the skin (or dermis), and no holes, marking, or exit points are left behind.
Transdermals have a portion that lays underneath the skin, and also a fraction that exits the skin through a pierced hole. The anchor piece (the part below the skin) is generally implanted through a small surgical slit made close to the desired site on the body, and then a hole is punched through so that the piece that will come through the skin can easily protrude. Next a decorative topper is screwed onto the part of the anchor that passes through the skin.
Microdermals are the most common of the dermal implants. This type of implant looks to a transdermal, with small gems or decorations that can be changed resting above the skin's surface with an anchor below. These commonly heal much like a standard piercing and can be placed at almost any location desired.
