Common Questions - KELO-COTE® Scar sheets
KELO-COTE® Silicone Scar Sheets provide a semi-occlusive layer on the top of the skin to reduce increased water loss that occurs through scar tissue. The increase in hydration helps scars become flatter, smoother and reduce complaints like persistent redness, “pulling” sensations, itching, restriction of joint movements, discomfort and cosmetic concerns.
Each KELO-COTE® Reusable Silicone Scar Sheet should be worn for a minimum of 12 and up to 23 hours per day
It is recommended to gradually build up the length of application of KELO-COTE® scar sheets to a maximum of 23 hours a day. The purpose of building up gradually is to allow the skin to become accustomed to the silicone. The longer the silicone is in contact with your skin, the faster you may see results.
If used correctly, each pack is sufficient for approximately 21 days of treatment. For long-term therapy, several packs may therefore be necessary.

It is essential to clean KELO-COTE® Scar Sheets properly, on a daily basis. This is necessary to ensure good adhesion. Remove as much dirt as possible with soap and lukewarm water, then rinse the silicone sheet thoroughly under the running water. After contact with soap and water, the silicone sheet will no longer be adhesive, and it will roll up. Leave the silicone sheet to dry naturally on a clean, dry surface, with the sticky side facing upwards. While drying, the silicone sheet will unroll, and its adhesive strength will gradually return. Use the silicone sheet only after it has completely dried.
