We offer both Transdermal implants and Sub-dermal implants at Kalima and were the first British studio to offer these.
Transdermal implants,are when a plating sits under the skin layer and a post attached to the plating comes through the skin , you can attach jewellery to this.Essentially they are a much larger version of dermal anchors.They do have a limited life span on most people,so clients need to be aware of this.
Sub-dermal implants are when shapes are put under the skin,so creating a 3D shape in the skin.The material we now use is Medical Grade implant silicone and we can get a large amount of different shapes-stars ,hearts, domes, starfish, Circular barbells, BCR’s, cherries, anchors and also can get specific shapes custom made.
All implants are done under the highest levels of sterility,all tools are rigorously cleaned between clients , we use sterile surgical gloves,covers,swabs and suture’s to perform the procedure.We do not cut corners by using non-sterile consumables.
