Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Contractubex gel is topically applied to reduce scars. It is very effective on various types of scars.

Other modes of treating scars include:

  • Fractional laser treatment - a non-invasive technique to remove scars. It is the best option but is slightly expensive.
    • Microdermabrasion - a non-surgical, mechanical method of removing the outermost dead skin cells layer.
      • Subcision - a surgical method to remove acne scars.
        • Dermaroller therapy - generates new cells.

        But the procedure is decided depending upon the type of scar.
