Welcome to Ako'ymaysugat Anonymous.
Scars are part of life. Whether you're a kid, an athlete, a mom, a dad, a motor skill-challenged person... Accidents can happen any time. Big or small, most scars are hard to erase- but it doesn't have to be. Contractubex, a topical ointment for scars, can help erase those ugly deformations.
At the event, we were treated to scar-y stories from 3 lovely ladies- Belle, an entrepreneur, who had a gash on her forehead from tripping over something in the dark; Janice, a national Taekwondo player, had scars from a sporting injury; and Maricar, an actress, who got cuts and bruises from shooting action scenes. They shared their stories and their first hand experiences in the healing touch of Contractubex. Wow, I've had scars since I could start walking (you can just imagine how that multiplied when I started running, jumping, etc.), so I kind of got excited about this magical product that can make ugly scars disappear. In fact, it can even work on old scars! Contactubex has actually been around for a while, but this was the first time I've heard of it. Luckily, we were given samples. I can't wait to try it out on the latest acquisition in my scar collection. haha.
Goodbye (in two months), gross ugly dark scar shaped like my brother's dog's teeth. The Contractubex Scar Erase Project starts NOW.*

Press Release:
Contractubex: There’s always
sunshine after the rain!
Uh-oh, August…have you come
with many dark skies ahead?
Mr. Sun seems to be on the run
these days. While the scorching weather has tamed, the clouds have erupted with
occasionally angry showers. Sometimes, try as we may to keep a sunny outlook,
the weather sets a gloomy tone, and can remind us of things we may have
regretted in the past. Some mistakes we have made – like a slip or an
unintentional fall – can result to a few unwanted scars we’d rather keep to
ourselves.
Let the rain wash away the
things you want to forget.
Who wants a scar to remind them
of a past mistake? Perhaps it was a result of an embarrassing fall in public,
an accidental slip because of the slippery sidewalk (darn rain!), or a burn
from boiling water for that mug of hot cocoa and marshmallows. While some
memories are worth keeping, a scar left behind isn’t always a favorite
remembrance.
Different
types of scars:
Raised or hypertrophic scar – confined
to the area of the original skin injury; 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
Keloid – Also results from overproduction of connective
tissue fibers and tend to bulge above the level of the surrounding skin beyond
the original wound edges
After the rain comes sunshine –
and on better days, a rainbow!
Summer’s long gone – but this
shouldn’t dampen your sprits! Don’t let any scar keep you from hiding under
your umbrella. Turn your rainy days into the best days of your life! Let the
rain showers erase the past and open your heart to better, brighter days. Now
you can, with Contractubex! 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.
You may notice that there are several other scar treatments
available in the market today. What makes Contractubex different 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 to penetrate into deeper layers of the skin.
1.
Cepae Extract
-
obtained from onions
- anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect
- reduces swelling and prevents excessive growth
of connective tissue
2.
Heparin
- loosens the tissue structure
- anti-inflammatory effect
- hydrates scar tissue
3.
Allantoin
-
encourages wound healing
-
has a soothing effect
Contractubex comes in a gel
form that makes for its easy application on the skin. Just gently massage 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 to fresh scars, when the wound has closed or when the sutures have
been removed.
Don’t lose hope when you don’t see results early on.
Contractubex works slowly but efficiently in improving your scar. As long as
you follow instructions carefully, and are consistent in applying it on your scars,
you’ll soon be free from the past – and be a completely new YOU, just like a
rainbow after the storm!
Product Overview of Contractubex
What is Contractubex?
Contractubex® is an anti-scar gel that helps lighten,

pliable.

anti-inflammatory, bactericidal properties and prevents the formation of
excessive scar tissue.

with scar formation
