Transdermal implant

Common card · No. 327170

Transdermal implants, or dermal piercings, are a form of body modification used both in a medical and aesthetic context that, in contrast to subdermal implants, consist of an object placed partially below and partially above the skin, thus implanted transdermal. Two techniques are prevalent using post-like and microdermal implants respectively. Although the skin around such implants generally heals as if it were a piercing, in the body piercing community, these types of modification are commonly called fairly "heavy" due to the complexity of the procedure and potential social implications.
