Deep Oscillation® Therapy
At Scar Therapy Brentwood, Deep Oscillation® Therapy (DOT) is offered as part of a personalised approach to recovery and wellbeing. Whether you're experiencing post-surgical swelling, scar tissue discomfort or restricted movement following injury, this specialist treatment can be tailored to your individual needs, helping to improve comfort, support recovery and restore confidence in your body.
What is Deep Oscillation® Therapy?
Deep Oscillation® uses a special design to create gentle, biologically effective vibrations in the tissue through electrostatic attraction and friction (pulse). Unlike other treatments, these soothing vibrations reach deep into the tissue (up to 8 cm) affecting the skin, connective tissue, muscles, and even the blood and lymph vessels, providing a calming and thorough effect. The non-invasive application is made through gloved hands using massage techniques or via applicators in circular motion.

How Deep Oscillation® Therapy can help you
Because of the non-traumatic, gentle nature of DOT, there is a possibility of early application following injury or from Day One post operatively. Chronic conditions can also be worked upon with effective results. Clinical trials have shown positive physiological effects of DEEP OSCILLATION®, these include:
Reduce Pain and Discomfort
DOT® helps ease pain by moving pain-causing substances away from the affected area. It works to reduce inflammation and swelling by slowing down the movement of cells that cause irritation, lowering the release of chemicals that fuel the pain, and helping to reduce fluid buildup. It can also aid in softening adhesions that are tethered to deeper structures.
Speeds up Recovery Time
DOT® helps support and enhance the body's natural healing process. By reducing swelling and inflammation, it encourages the movement of nutrients and waste products through the tissues, supporting tissue repair and recovery. This can help improve wound healing, reduce discomfort and promote a smoother recovery following injury or surgery.
Improved
Mobility
In chronic pain and post-injury conditions, limited movement is often caused by poor blood flow due to tense muscles that squeeze the tiny blood vessels. Deep Oscillation® helps relax the muscles, improves circulation, and supports normal nerve function. This can lead to an increase in movement and flexibility, making it easier to regain or improve range of motion.
Enhanced
Appearance
Swelling and inflammation reduced by Deep Oscillation® improves blood and lymph flow in the deeper layers of the skin, which can help decrease the appearance of cellulite and thigh size. Additionally, DOT® helps break down fibrous tissue and reduces skin sensitivity to hormones, improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of cellulite in 80% of women.
Pricing and Packages
Generally, more than one treatment is required to get the desired results. However, it is hard to say exactly how many you may need. The quantity and frequency of treatments depend on a number of factors, such as the age of the scar and other issues it is causing. With this in mind, as well as “pay as you go”, two other packages are available, both offering great value for money. All treatments last one hour.
Single Treatment
£85
Book a one hour pay as you go session.
Treatment Package
£425
