The several embodiments of the system include a body that has a cup arrangement with a flat edge upstanding wall and is open thereacross. The cup is arranged to receive a force applied to the top thereof to urge the cup flat edge into the surface of a section of skin whereon the cup rests, causing the skin within the cup to be formed into a dome shape. A small hollow needle is maintained within the cup such that an open bevel needle end extends at an angle just below the plane of the cup edge.
