Kelo-cote® is a patented, clinically proven silicone gel designed to treat, reduce, prevent, and soften both old and new scars. It is particularly effective for scars caused by general or cosmetic surgery, injuries, burns, acne, and pregnancy stretch marks. With its unique formulation, Kelo-cote® stands as the most effective and cost-efficient scar treatment on the market today.
How Kelo-cote® Works
Silicone is recognized as the gold standard in scar management due to its proven clinical efficacy. Kelo-cote® utilizes silicone’s powerful ability to regulate the collagen production at the site of the scar, reducing the visibility and discomfort associated with abnormal scars, such as:
-
Linear Hypertrophic Scars
-
Keloids
-
Widespread Burn Hypertrophic Scars
Recommended by the International Advisory Panel on Scar Management, Kelo-cote® is the first-line therapy for the treatment and prevention of abnormal scars. It is especially effective in managing scars resulting from:
-
Trauma
-
Burns
-
Surgical Procedures
Key Benefits of Kelo-cote®
-
Self-drying: Kelo-cote® dries to an invisible, breathable sheet in just 4-5 minutes, ensuring quick application and comfort.
-
Elastic Protection: Once dried, it provides flexible protection, allowing the skin to move naturally without restriction.
-
Transparent & Odourless: The gel is clear, odor-free, and virtually invisible, making it discreet and easy to wear.
-
Reduces Pain & Itching: Kelo-cote® helps alleviate common scar-associated discomforts, such as pain, itching, and discoloration.
-
Applicable on New & Old Scars: It is effective for both newly formed and old scars, helping to soften and flatten scars over time.
-
Cosmetic-Friendly: Once dried, you can apply makeup or sunscreen over the treated area.
-
Twice Daily Application: Simply apply Kelo-cote® twice a day (morning and evening) for the best results.
Directions for Use
For optimal results, apply a thin layer of Kelo-cote® on clean, dry skin twice daily for 60-90 days. Larger or older scars may take longer to show results. Continued use is recommended if improvement is seen after the initial 90 days. After the gel dries, it can be covered with pressure garments, sunscreen, or cosmetics.
-
Important: Kelo-cote® should not be used on broken skin or infected wounds. Do not apply other products underneath Kelo-cote® as this will reduce its effectiveness.
Post-Treatment Applications
-
Post-Laser and Chemical Peels: Kelo-cote® is highly effective in reducing erythema (redness) and promoting healing following dermatological laser procedures and chemical peels.
-
Acne Scars: Kelo-cote® can be used to treat scars resulting from acne or chickenpox, though it is not recommended for use on active acne.
-
After Surgery: You can begin applying Kelo-cote® once stitches are removed, and the wound is no longer bleeding.
