Contractubex® Gel
Proven scar treatment
The gel from the scar specialist Merz Therapeutics is the world’s most popular scar treatment. It has been treating scars successfully for over 50 years. Today, Contractubex is available in over 60 countries worldwide and is regularly recommended by doctors all around the world.

Contractubex® Gel’s effectiveness is also reflected in high patient satisfaction. The positive experiences of thousands of patients show that using Contractubex® Gel really makes a difference, and scars can be treated successfully. You can start using Contractubex® Gel as soon as the wound has closed or the stitches have been removed, because the sooner you begin with the scar treatment, the better the chances of positively affecting scar development.
Reddening fades after just a few weeks, and continued treatment with Contractubex® Gel and its triple-action formula allows further improvements in appearance to be achieved. The scar becomes more elastic and flatter. Treatment may well take 3 – 6 months depending on the extent of scarring, as scar tissue regenerates very slowly. Be ambitious and stay on course – it’s worth the effort!
