What Are Scars?

Scars are a natural part of the body’s healing process, but they can sometimes cause discomfort, restrict movement, or lead to self-consciousness. Advances in scar therapy have made it possible to treat scars more effectively, improving both their appearance and the way they affect the body. One innovative technique is Dolphin Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) therapy, which targets scar tissue to promote healing and restore function.

What Is Scar Tissue?

Scar tissue forms when the body repairs damage to the skin and underlying tissues. During healing, the body produces collagen, a protein that acts as a scaffold to close the wound. However, the arrangement of this collagen is different from the original tissue, often making scars appear and feel different. Scar tissue continues to form for 2-3 years post tissue injury.

Why Scar Tissue Can Be Problematic

• Adhesions: Scar tissue can form adhesions, binding layers of tissue together and limiting movement.

• Nerve Irritation: It can trap or irritate nerves, causing pain or numbness.

• Energy Blockages: According to some holistic therapies, scars can disrupt energy flow in the body, contributing to physical and emotional discomfort

How Does Scar Release Therapy Work?

Scar release therapy is a specialized approach to treat the physical and functional effects of scars. The goal is to break down adhesions, improve circulation, restore tissue flexibility, and reduce discomfort.

What Is Dolphin MPS Therapy and How Does It Help Scars?

Dolphin Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate healing and release scar tissue. The Dolphin MPS device targets acupuncture points and scar tissue directly, which penetrates deep into the body to release scar tissue and increase cellular healing. MPS therapy is a painless treatment that loosens scar tissue which will help scar size and appearance.

How Dolphin MPS Therapy Works for Scars?

1. Breaks Down Adhesions: The gentle microcurrent softens and releases adhesions in the scar tissue.

2. Improves Circulation: Enhances blood flow to the area, speeding up healing and reducing tightness.

3. Restores Nerve Function: Helps calm irritated nerves and reduce numbness or pain around the scar.

4. Balances Energy Flow: Clears energetic blockages that scars may create, promoting overall wellness.

How Many Treatments Will You Need?

Most scars require 3–5 sessions of Dolphin MPS therapy, depending on the scar’s size, age, and depth. Each session typically lasts 5-15 minutes. Scars develop 2-3 years after surgery so older scars may require a few more sessions and newer scars can need fewer. Many people report improvements after just a single session.

Other Treatment Options for Scars

1. Topical Treatments: Silicone sheets, gels, or ointments to flatten and soften scars over time.

2. Laser Therapy: Targets pigmentation and stimulates collagen remodeling to improve the appearance of scars.

3. Steroid Injections: Reduces inflammation and thickness in hypertrophic and keloid scars.

4. Microneedling: Creates micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production and smooth out scars.

5. Surgical Revision: Improves the appearance of severe scars or restores mobility by removing or reshaping scar tissue.

It’s Time to Treat Your Scar!

Scar tissue doesn’t have to be a permanent source of discomfort or limitation. Treatments like Dolphin MPS therapy can effectively release adhesions, improve mobility, and enhance the appearance of scars in just a few sessions. Whether you’re dealing with a new scar or an older one, combining advanced therapies with proper care can lead to significant improvements.
