Dolphin Neurostim uses Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) to non-invasively reduce C-section scar tissue, pain, and adhesion, often providing noticeable results in 1–3, 15-30 minute sessions. FDA and Health Canada approved, it works by relaxing rigid tissue, reducing "c-section shelf" appearance, improving mobility, and accelerating healing, even on old scars
