FR... i would try a small cutting first - i know you really want the skin removal...but people heal differently and different areas of the same body scar differently and the same area of the same body scar differently depending on the tool (the size, shape, depth of the break in skin) and from what i understand the skin removal process starts with cuttings and then removal of the skin...so you could do something like an out line cutting first and then figure out how you heal and then go back and do the smaller skin removal...but i'll tell you right now...it's a bitch when a cutting or a tattoo gets infected - i've had both do so, i would love to have a skin removal done, but i would not do one where i could not easily clean it like on my arms or the front of my body...just my personal opinion... oh yea...someone mentioned peroxide for enhancing scarring...peroxide is a liquid debreeder that reacts with the things that aren't supposed to be there - like infection, and things that respond to infection...try pouring hydrogen peroxide on normal skin...no bubbly, nothing to react to...i use it to enhance healing, not enhance scarification...personally i believe if the scarification is done right in the first place, there is no need to do anything to enhance it, just take care of it and make sure it does not get infected and it heals...if you keloid lightly...you have to do it multiple times, scrubbing it and doing things like that will only mess up the artists work... *steps off soap box* chelle
