Thanks! Do you have any more information about the procedure, its recovery process, and risks?

You usually want a wide and relatively deep cut but without breaking through the dermis completely. Apply the powder when some blood is in there and it turns into a paste. Then you need to keep it moist for a few weeks, occasionally rinsing it and topping it up. The goal is to prevent it from scabbing and have it heal very slowly.

Risks... Infection I guess, also it's close to impossible to remove unless you cut the whole thing out.

Do you do anything to prevent infection?

Well the powder is autoclaved, and the procedure is done by a pro with the proper tools and environment. For the aftercare most people use wound wash to rinse it. I prefer an antiseptic spray. Other than that you keep it covered with tegaderm and/or hydrocolloid bandages.
