To answer this, I started a new game with an unmodded game.bin. I played until I got several scars, then saved, put my modded, no skin effects, game.bin into the CompiledDefs folder, then went back to the saved game with scars. There were no scars or bruises.
So, it seems, that these edits will apply to a game in progress.
