The best and correct answer can be provided by calling your local health protection and inspection office listed in the government pages of the phone book. In some U.S. states it is illegal to do dermal anchoring. So best to call your local health inspector and ask what the policies are for your area, they are there to answer your questions when it comes to public safety and the provision of personal services.
check with your local health unit for up to date info for your area.
Yes, micro dermal piercings are legal in Illinois as long as they are performed by a licensed professional in a sanitary environment. It is important to research the specific regulations and requirements in your local area before getting any body modification.
As of November 2011, Tennessee apparently decided that microdermal piercings are a medical procedure. I just called the piercer in Knoxville and he said they can't do dermals right now. Apparently the piercers are fighting it, though, so they will probably lift it.
its a bar that goes under the skin and has two balls popping out on each side it is an alternative to a micro dermal piercing which is a surgical piercing implant

Contact a local piercing studio they will tell you what the age requirements are for your area.
Dermal anchors, micro dermals are made from grade 23 surgical titanium. They will not effect nor cause any issues with MRI or CAT scan machines, grade 23 titanium is non-magnetic. Now "most dermals" have holes in the feet to allow the body to knit or form tissue to the dermal foot to hold the dermal in place. "waist piercings" done with dermals should not pose an issue to an up to date OBGYN or GP. Simply wiping the dermal down with Providone Iodine and applying a bandage over the dermal during delivery should be fine and this will prevent possible cross contamination should a "C" section be required. The "less than knowledgeable" OBGYN or GP will tell you that the dermals will need to be removed. If the dermal is of the standard design and happens to have holes in the feet, they will need to be removed by your piercer or other professional piercer who knows what they are doing to minimize the soft tissue damage during removal. The average GP doesn't know how this jewellery works and they tend to be way too rough and scalpel happy in an attempt to remove the dermals. This tends to lead to excessive scarring. I would suggest you talk to your GP and or OBGYN and get there opinion as to which way to go, leave them in as I have stated or remove them and have them replaced after the delivery date.
Simply washing the piercing under running water daily, leaving the dermal exposed during the day time to allow for fresh air to aid in the healing and then applying a round band aid on the dermal at night to prevent snagging and rubbing. this is generally only for the first two weeks post implant. Once the implant has "set" it should be o.k. to go without the band aid at night, however if you are prone to rubbing the dermal or the snag hazard is high the band aid will protect and prolong the dermal's life span.

Not until your piercer tells you you can! Or go, but don't go swimming (obviously), because the ocean is a cess-pool of bacteria and micro-organisms... No matter how clean the beach is said to be.
Calling your local health protection and inspection office will answer that question fairly quickly. The local health inspectors will be able to tell you what the age limits and regulations are for your area. You could always ask the shops you call as well they are require to tell you what they can and can't do under the current regulations. Each city can have various regulations that they enforce.
