Using a scar gel correctly and consistently is an important part of a scar-care routine.
Contractubex Gel is intended for use on closed scar tissue, not on an open wound. The manufacturer recommends beginning application after the wound has closed or after stitches have been removed.
Below is a straightforward guide to using Contractubex Scar Gel.
When Can You Start Using Contractubex?
Wait until the wound has fully closed.
If the area required stitches, begin scar treatment only after the stitches have been removed and the wound is appropriately healed.
Contractubex should not be applied directly to an open or actively healing wound.
If you are unsure whether your wound is ready for scar treatment, ask your physician, pharmacist or another qualified healthcare professional.
How to Apply Contractubex Scar Gel
Step 1: Make sure the scar area is closed
The skin should be healed before beginning application.
Step 2: Apply a small amount of gel
Apply Contractubex directly to the scar according to the instructions supplied with your product.
Step 3: Massage gently
Gently massage the gel into the scar tissue.
The manufacturer recommends beginning around the center of the scar and working toward the edges using small circular movements.
Step 4: Continue until absorbed
Massage gently until the gel has been absorbed into the scar area.
Avoid unnecessarily aggressive pressure.
How Often Is Contractubex Used?
Manufacturer guidance recommends gently massaging Contractubex Gel into the scar approximately 2 to 3 times daily.
Always check the leaflet and packaging supplied with your particular product because instructions can vary between markets.
How Long Should Contractubex Be Used?
Scar treatment requires patience.
The manufacturer's guidance indicates that treatment may commonly continue for at least several months, with approximately three months mentioned for newer scars.
Older scars may require a longer treatment period.
How a scar changes varies from person to person, so there is no single guaranteed timeline.
Can Contractubex Be Used on Older Scars?
Manufacturer information states that Contractubex may also be used on older scars.
For older scar tissue, a longer and consistent treatment routine may be recommended.

Do not apply Contractubex to an open wound.
Avoid contact with:
-
eyes

inside of the nose
-
inside of the mouth
-
other mucous membranes
Always follow the warnings provided with your product.
