Contractubex® Gel

The efficacy of Contractubex® Gel, a proven scar treatment product, has been proven in numerous clinical studies. The active ingredients of the gel penetrate the scar tissue and help to reduce scar formation from the inside.1-4

The result: an almost in­visible scar

Once the wound is closed and the scab has fallen off or the stitches have been pulled, you can start with Contractubex® Gel. Because an early start of scar treatment can have a positive influence on scar development. After just a few weeks, redness can fade and the appearance can be further improved by constant care with Contractubex® Gel. The scar becomes more elastic and flatter. Scar treatment can take 3-6 months, depending on the extent of the scar, because scar tissue regenerates very slowly.

Be there with consistency and ambition – it’s worth it!
