Contractubex® Gel 100g
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.
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!
Proven Scar Treatment
The gel from the scar specialist Contractubex is the world’s most popular scar treatment. It has been treating scars successfully for over 50 years. The gel is the best-selling scar treatment in over 60 countries, and is regularly recommended by doctors all around the world.
The efficacy of Contractubex® Gel has been proven in numerous clinical studies. Its unique combination of three active ingredients works its way deep into the scar, reducing scarring from within. The result: a nearly invisible scar.
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!
The triple-benefit formula
Contractubex® Gel has a unique formula with three specific medical effects that supports the physical scar healing and ensures minimal scar visibility.

- Prevents excessive scarring
- Reduces redness and itching

Start treating your scar with Contractubex® Gel directly after wound closure and benefit from the three ways it helps minimize scar visibility.
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!

Active Ingredients
The transparent Contractubex® Gel contains active ingredients that support the healing process inside the skin, regulating the production of scar tissue and working to positively influence scar formation.
Contractubex® contains three complementary active ingredients:
Extractum cepae
has anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties and prevents the formation of excessive scar tissue.
Heparin
softens the tissue structure, has anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling properties, supports cell and tissue regeneration and is able to bind water to the scar tissue.
Allantoin
encourages wound healing and has a softening effect, promotes penetration through the skin and relieves the itching often associated with scar formation.
Contractubex® has proved highly effective in treating scars for many years. The results that can be achieved are well worth the patience the treatment requires: a nearly invisible scar.
Application
The sooner a scar is treated, the greater the chance of positively influencing scar formation. Start applying Contractubex® Gel as soon as the wound is closed and/or any stitches have been removed. The clear gel is easy and safe to apply.
Ideally, Contractubex® Gel should be gently massaged in 2 to 3 times daily for at least 3 months. Contractubex® Gel forms a discreet film that protects the sensitive scar tissue.
Apply Contractubex® Gel only to wounds that are already closed. Avoid contact with eyes, the inside of the nose or mouth and other mucous membranes.
Start at the centre and work towards the edges, massaging the gel gently into the scar.
Continue with a small, circular motion until Contractubex® Gel is completely absorbed.
Scar treatment needs patience, as the injured skin takes time to heal. After about 4 weeks, a reduction of redness can usually be observed; after two months, the scar tissue gradually becomes lighter, more elastic and flat.
Contractubex® Gel is very safe and its tolerability has been proven in numerous clinical studies. Small children and even babies can be treated safely.
The treatment can also work on scars that are older. With older scars, Contractubex® Gel should be massaged in 3 times daily for at least 6 months.
Areas of use for Contractubex® Gel
Contractubex® Gel works effectively with all types of scars
Wounds are injuries of the skin and stay with us our whole lives. Most wounds are harmless and are quickly forgotten. Nevertheless, they leave marks on our skin: a scar.
Contractubex® Gel can be used following many different types of injuries to the skin:
- Abrasions
- Cuts or lacerations
- Operations (including after Caesarean section)
- Burns or scalds
- Laser treatments (such as tattoo removal)
The resulting scars are also as diverse as the types of injuries. Some scars are barely visible, while others may hurt or even cause physical impairments – for example, in range of motion.
In general: Early treatment with Contractubex® Gel ensures, in all cases, that the resulting scars heal as well as possible and are barely visible at best.
Studies
The positive effect of Contractubex® Gel on scarring and its good tolerability have been shown in various studies.
A large-scale observational study involving 1,268 patients who had both fresh and older scars showed that an improvement in scar condition and redness was possible within 2-3 months of 2x daily application of Contractubex®.
More than 80% of doctors and patients rated the effect of the treatment on scarring as good or very good. (1)
Another clinical trial examined the effect of Contractubex® Gel in 107 patients who had a tattoo removed by laser treatment. Laser treatments are known to cause scarring.
In the group that applied Contractubex® Gel between treatments after wound closure, scars were found to form less frequently. (2) A combination therapy of Contractubex® Gel with therapeutic ultrasound* was examined in an observational study of 35 patients.
In this combined treatment, Contractubex® gel was introduced into the scar tissue with the aid of ultrasonic waves. Within five weeks of daily application of Contractubex® Gel as well as supplementary treatment every third day with Contractubex® Gel plus therapeutic ultrasound, the overall result improved.
More than 80% of the patients and the treating physician described the success of the treatment as well as skin tolerability as good or very good. (3)
A clinical trial examined the effect on scarring after heart surgery in children and adolescents aged 1 to 18 years. After six months, the group treated with Contractubex® Gel developed significantly less conspicuous scarring than the untreated group. Even after six further months without treatment, this significant difference between the two groups remained. (4)
