C-section Treatment
​​The Dolphin Neurostim™ is an innovative technology used to quickly and effectively release cesarean (C-Section) scar tissue, resulting in a noticeable reduction in scar visibility as well as decreased pain and tightness.
Dolphin Stimulation
The Dolphin Neurostim™ utilizes Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS), which is a Health Canada and FDA approved treatment for cesarean section scar release and pain relief that is based on the scientific concept of increasing the skin’s inter-cellular metabolism and protein synthesis to improve its ability to heal and regenerate.
By targeting direct cellular stimulation of microcurrent waves through the scars, this quick and easy procedure releases the tense scar tissue resulting in a significant reduction of dermal trauma, adhesions and fascial restrictions.
