A skin treatment apparatus that includes, a disposable electrode carrier witha plurality of voltage-applying dome-shaped elements protruding from the surfaceof the electrode carrier. Further, the protruding elements are spaced apartin a pattern. The apparatus operates to apply a voltage to at least some of the protrudingelements. The apparatus applies a voltage to the protruding elements with a magnitudethat is sufficient to result in an electrical break down of the skin and therebycause electric current enabling the desired treatment.
