- The master disinfects the puncture site (instruments must also be sterile);
- Using a special volumetric needle or something like a scalpel, a small incision is made in the skin - no more than one and a half millimeters, otherwise the healing will be long and painful. Since the topmost layer of the epidermis is cut, there should be no bleeding.
- the skin is removed from the layer of subcutaneous fat, and a microdermal leg is fixed into the resulting hole;
- The head of the product is screwed on top - only it will be visible to a prying eye.
Important! Properly installed microdermal sits tightly under the skin. Otherwise, constant microtrauma will lead to the formation of a scar in the punctured area.
Trying to remove microdermal from yourself on your own is just as dangerous as installing it in makeshift conditions. Up to and including death - infections are possible! A professional will do this quickly and with minimal cosmetic losses.
