Intent: To develop a simple cosmetic device to allow for full healing of scars, tattoos, and any other unnatural skin affection.
Development Thread: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/18927-a-twisted-examination/
Manufacturer: Defiance Consolidated Multipurpose Manufacturing
Model: Skin Rejuvenation Device
Affiliation: Vanessa Vantai
Modularity: No
Production: Semi-Unique
Material: Diatium, Durasteel
Description: The skin rejuvenator was designed by Circe Savan to deal with unsightly scars, tattoos, or other unnatural physical blemishes to the flesh of the patient. Ultrasonic pulses in concert with a bacta gel encourage cellular regrowth, along with the destruction of scar tissue or tissue blemished with non-natural pigment. The results are that scars disappear, tattoos evaporate, and other unnatural blemishes fade away.

Of note, this solely affect the skin. It does not affect the fat layer under the skin, the muscle, the bone, or anything else. All it does is repair someone's appearance, capable of easily healing a six inch fresh cut in the skin all the way down to the top of the hypodermis in around seven to ten minutes.

Prior to any work on healing wounds or fresh scars, however, the area is sterilized to prevent infection as best as possible. As well, rejuvenated skin, having not been exposed to the sun, will be noticeably paler than the rest of the individual's flesh(unless they're extremely pale already). This will fade in two to three weeks.

A few points:

  • You say it deals only in wounds that wouldn't require doctor intervention, yet in your dev thread you do a 6" cut to the last layer of skin. Allow me to be the bearer of bad news that, while that would heal on it's own, the time span and depth/length would almost absolutely ensure infection, and it is border line needing stitches or butterlfies(I would suggest it to any patient of mine as a likely treatment) to hold closed so it will heal properly. Purusant to that: I'd like to see some metrics included on the device (and I can help advise, it's my dayjob after all!) for depth and length of healing that are specific values and less vague statements. With the quality of the dev thread, i'm fine with that depth of cut being healed, but you contradict yourself, so that needs to be fixed.
  • This needs, in the description, a statement about the risk of infection unless the wound is irrigated first to remove debris if it's used to heal a wound, even minor. Because use of it essentially would just trap foreign objects in the body and cause infection once bacta ran out.
  • You might want to note in the description that, unless you have something to offset it, any new skin grown or healed will be paler than the surrounding skin. Given how it works, i'm fine with that being a temporary effect that would last a fixed time period/range of time you set, and be much faster than normal, but it would still happen. The severity and amount of skin regrown/healed would be a factor too.

Those are my only points. If you have questions, feel free to raise them.

As a side note, kudos on including the method of how and not making it be handwavium space tech.
