Platinum Body PiercingsReal clients, real results from our San Antonio piercing studio. Surface anchors, microdermals, and more.
A dermal anchor (microdermal) is a single-point surface piercing — unlike traditional piercings, it has only one visible end. Your piercer creates a small pocket under the skin and seats the anchor's foot, leaving just the decorative top visible.
Placement is incredibly flexible — cheekbones, collarbone, chest, hips, wrists. Your piercer will assess the area for skin movement and tension, which determines how well a dermal will hold long-term.
Healing takes 3–6 months. Dermals require careful aftercare — snagging them on clothing or towels is the most common cause of rejection. Keep the area clean and protected.
Here's what makes Platinum Body Piercings the right choice for your dermal piercing in San Antonio.
