Why needles and not dermal punches ?
I prefer to use this method rather than using dermal punches for a number of reasons : • As a disk of skin is removed when using a dermal punch, the jewellery is more easilly pulled out accidentally. Using our method ensures the microdermal is more secure. • There is a far greater risk of underlying tissue damage when dermal punches are used. If there is enough damage then the microdermal simply won’t heal. Damage to blood vessels can cause bad bruises or even a haematoma. • Dermal punching too deep can cause the microdermal to embed. Cutting out an embedded microdermal hurts – lots. • Cannula piercing is more controllable and more accurate. The natural gap under the skin can be found more easilly and withdrawing the needle into the cannula slightly, once that gap is found, ensures that there is less damage to underlying tissues. Far more control over the sharp end ! • It’s also worth remembering that the whole point of the development of microdermals was to find a method of single poi
