1. A controlled stimulation device for use during a treatment procedure, comprising:
at least one skin reference element having a distal end that defines a skin surface plane when placed in contact with a region of skin to be treated,
a base element movable relative to the skin reference element and
a plurality of elongated flexible members coupled to the base element, such that distal ends of the elongated flexible members can move between at least two positions, one position being a stowed position behind or proximal to the distal end of the skin reference element and the other position being a deployed position in which the distal ends of the elongated flexible members protrude to contact or penetrate the skin region.
