Liberate Yourself from Scars

Laarni Burgos is a mother of two from Santiago, Isabela. She has three scars on her stomach area -- one from an appendectomy, and the other two from Caesarian operations, thus she avoided wearing skin-revealing outfits and swimsuits like the plague.

Emie Miranda, who hails from Cebu City, went through a traumatic experience in 2007 when the vehicle she and her friends were riding got into an accident. Thankfully, they all survived, but the incident left an unsightly scar on her forehead from a wound that required 21 sutures.

Janice Lagman is a twenty-five year old nurse and taekwondo national athlete from Quezon City. After an injury that required surgery on her right knee in 2010, she was left with a scar from the operation.

All three of them thought they were scarred for life.

The truth is, no one is spared from getting scarred. No matter how poised we are, life throws us instances that make us fall and slip – even while in our sturdiest stilettos! The scars we earn from these experiences become constant reminders of past mistakes, or things to avoid. Yet in spite of the lesson behind it, a scar is a scar – a blemish, a flaw, an imperfection.

There are two different types of scars:
1. Raised or hypertrophic scar – forms after the healing of the wound and is caused by overproduction of connective tissue fibers; tends to bulge and protrude above level of surrounding skin
 
2. Keloid – grows beyond the original wound edges

While there may be lessons to be learned from this type of scars, there is no sense in dwelling on the past. Worrying about the effects of old wounds can make you feel self-conscious and restricted. It may not seem like a big deal at first, but think about it: Will you always be confined to choosing long-sleeves over sleeveless tops, pants over shorts, or, heaven forbid, a t-shirt over a bikini? Would you skip beach trips or cocktail parties just because you need to cover up? How long will you hide behind your scars?

It’s time to move on!

Don’t let your scars hold you back. Like a trusty girlfriend, you need something to help you get out of that rut and back on track. Contractubex is a clinically proven treatment that combines the triple action of Cepae Extract, Heparin and Allantoin to help reduce the appearance of these unsightly marks on your skin.

What sets Contractubex apart from other silicone-based scar treatments is that its ingredients help reduce inflammation and prevent excessive scar formation. Its water-soluble ointment base allows active ingredients such as Cepae extract, Heparin and Allantoin to penetrate into deeper layers of the skin.

Contractubex comes in a gel form that allows easy application on the skin. Just rub Contractubex on the affected area 3-4 times a day or as prescribed by your doctor.  Results may be seen after at least 3 months of use. You’ll know that Contractubex is working when you notice a reduction in redness, relief of tension and less itching on the scar area. Contractubex works best when applied as soon as the wound has closed and when the scar is still fresh.

Remember, patience is key! Scars take time to heal, but your consistent application of Contractubex will pay off in the end. Soon, you’ll be free from all those unwanted scars of the past, and on your way to a more confident, flawless and happier you! Don’t let those scars keep you from living life to the fullest.
