Dermal Anchors are done by putting a piece of metal under the skin. It has a hole in it where the part that you will see, a rhinestone or whatever, screws in.
The metal is permanent unless you have it surgically removed.

What are dermal piercings?
You could either mean dermal anchors or surface piercings. I think that you mean dermal anchors. Dermal anchors have little "feet" that are put n=beneath your skin by creating a pocket with either a needle or with the punch technique (this uses the tool that's also used for lobe and cartilage punches). The foot it placed in this pocket. The foot has holes in it that tissue will grow through to keep it in place. The dermal anchor has a threaded hole that you use to change jewelry. Dermal anchors are lots of work because you have to be very careful that they don't reject or get snagged on something and ripped out. If done correctly, the jewelry will be flush with your skin and the foot of the anchor is not visible. The jewelry can be screwed off and you can wear balls, gems, or flat pieces in them.
Where can you go to get a dermal anchor removed?
Dermal anchors must be removed by a licensed doctor, NOT a piercer. Although many piercers know how to do so, the FDA classifies the removal of dermal anchors as a surgical procedure (although ironically, the insertion of one is not). As such it is ILLEGAL for a piercer to remove them, you have to go to a doctor. Sucks, I know, but dem's the breaks.
What form of piercing has no exit holes?
Dermal anchors only have one entry point into the tissue. So for all intents this would be considered a piercing that doesn't have exit holes. Technically to be considered a piercing it should have an entry and an exit point, dermal anchors are actually not piercings but more body modifications considering there "implantation" into the tissue.
Can dermal piercings be removed?
Dermal anchors or Dermal piercings are permanent and can't be removed once healed. Once healed and you choose to remove the jewellery you must seek the assistance of a Doctor to have the anchors cut out of the body. Legally a professional body piercer can not remove a dermal anchor once it's healed (it's considered a medical procedure and would be a criminal offence for a body piercer to remove a dermal anchor considering is must be cur out of the body, a procedure that can only be provided by a licensed Doctor {a.k.a. practicing medicine without a license, piercers in the US have been charged and convicted for doing this}).
How bad does it hurt to get your collarbones pierced?
If you get it , use dermal anchors. Basically they cut a slit and insert the foot of the dermal into that slit. It hurts for some, and not for others. Every piercing is going to hurt but there isn't a way to determine just how badly it will.
What exactly are dermal anchors and can you take them out and change them yourself and how likely are they to reject also can someone tell me how long they take to heal?
Dermal anchors are not considered body piercing but actually body modification, they are inserted under the skin in one hole. They are subject to infection and rejection and can only be removed by a licensed Doctor, the installation of dermal anchors is illegal in some US states. Jewellery changing needs to be done by your body piercer, specialized tools are needed to hold the anchor while the jeweled top is changed. Healing times can vary form person to person. This is something that needs to be done by a qualified professional body piercer who has received training in the use of dermal anchors. Be aware there are morons out there that claim they know what they are doing and will install these in locations that a subject to rejection, snagging and tearing. So do your research and seek out a truly experienced professional who really knows what they are doing.

What is a dermal anchor?
A dermal anchor is a small piece of jewelry designed to be inserted into the body and is held or "anchored" in place by the surface tissue "dermal" around it. These implants need to be done by an experienced professional who can legally do them. Dermal anchoring is illegal in some US states. Not every piercer can do dermal anchoring because it's a technical implant that requires experience, skill and knowledge of human anatomy. There are also locations on the body where dermal anchors will not work due to tissue type, body movement and clothing requirements, so do some research beforehand. Dermal anchors are subject to tearing, snagging, infection and rejection and cannot be removed like regular jewelry. They are inserted into the body, so removal must be done by a licensed doctor. Removal generally results in lifelong scarring. If you ever need to go for a CAT or MRI scan, all jewelry will need to be removed, including the dermal anchors.(Just as an FYI to clarify the above info, although most doctors will recommend removing a dermal anchor before a CAT or MRI scan, it is not necessary. They are not surgical steel like most piercings, but actually titanium, and do not interfere with the MRI process. They also do not need to be removed by a doctor. Any professional piercer that can put them in can take them out, it is actually a very simple process.)
