A picture familiar to pain: stripes suddenly begin to appear on the skin of women, which are popularly called stretch marks. They can be of three types. For some ladies, these are barely noticeable white stripes, for others - bright pink paths. The most difficult and unsightly option is thick crimson-blue scars that can brighten over time. Typically, such defects affect the skin of the buttocks, abdomen or chest, but they can occur on other parts of the body. What is the cause of striae (so these stretch marks are called correctly)?
Striae are scars that appear at the site of rupture of collagen or elastin fibers. Fiber breaks with a sharp increase in weight, rapid growth, pregnancy, puberty. Scars do not depend on mechanical damage. They deeply affect all layers of the skin, can occur both in adult women (men too) and in adolescents. Such scars never go away on their own, they require a long and thorough treatment.
More recently, a drug was created that successfully fights against an unpleasant defect - the Kontraktubeks gel. Reviews about him are striking in their unanimity: the vast majority of doctors and patients express their approval for the drug.
The composition of the gel is very simple. It includes onion extract, allantoin, sodium heparin, some auxiliary substances. However, in the complex, these components are capable of exerting a strong proteolytic effect, they eliminate colloidal scars, and make the skin taut, smooth, elastic.
The drug "Kontraktubeks", doctors' opinions are unanimous, has fibrinolytic (protein-destroying fibrin), anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, this tool increases keratolic activity: makes the skin smooth, radiant, evens out its texture, and helps exfoliate dead skin particles.
That is why, to eliminate skin problems, "Kontraktubeks" ointment is increasingly used. Reviews of women emphasize that after a month of applying the composition, they noticeably turned pale, and the scars on the chest, abdomen, buttocks, and hips became shallow. With a longer use, there was not even a trace from the striae.
Not only women use Kontraktubeks gel. Reviews of athletes using this ointment allow us to conclude that the medicine not only treats defects that have already occurred, but also serves as an active prophylactic. Regular use of the gel before training protects the skin from internal fiber breaks.
Doctors who have studied the therapeutic and prophylactic properties of the drug recommend it to adolescents who are prone to rapid growth in height, to people who are rapidly gaining weight. Penetrating deep beneath the upper layer of the skin, the drug forms new collagen and elastin fibers in the connective tissue of the dermis, while simultaneously facilitating the resorption of the outer scars.
It is this ability of the drug that is especially appreciated by cosmetologists. The drug "Kontraktubeks", reviews of doctors about which inspire hope in everyone suffering from scars, is now prescribed for:
- treatment of joint ankylosis;
- elimination of atrophic scars that occur after furunculosis, injuries, acne;
- treating traumatic contractures (constricting and shortening muscles or tendons due to injuries);
- annulment of stretch marks during pregnancy, weight gain, rapid growth;
- elimination of all types of scars that arose after operations, amputations, injuries;
- treatment of Dupuytren's contracture (cicatricial transformation and shortening of the tendons in the palm of the hand);
- prevention of all these deviations.
Specialists who cured all of the above diseases, praised the drug "Contractubex". Reviews of doctors note its speed, lack of side effects, high antiallergenicity.
Ointment is applied to steamed skin. When using the product, one should not be exposed to direct sunlight, it is recommended to refrain from thermal procedures (baths, saunas), massages.
The affordable price of the gel (20g tube costs about 450 rubles) allows people with any income to use it.
