1. A system for simultaneously heating a plurality of discrete skin volumes to a coagulation temperature, comprising:
- an applicator comprising at least one electrode having a plurality of spaced apart protruding conducting elements terminated by blunt tips configured to contact the skin surface at a plurality of discrete locations; and
a voltage source configured to apply a voltage to the at least one electrode so as to generate an electrical current in the skin causing simultaneously heating of a plurality of skin volumes to a coagulation temperature when the applicator is applied to the skin surface.

Abstract
A system and method for simultaneously heating a plurality of discrete skin volumes to a coagulation temperature. The system comprises an applicator containing an electrode having a plurality of spaced apart protruding conducting elements configured to contact the skin surface at a plurality of discrete locations. A controller applies a voltage to the electrode so as to simultaneously heat a plurality of skin volumes to a coagulation temperature when the applicator is applied to the skin surface.
