Help Your C-Section Scar Fade With KELO-COTE®

Looking After Your C-Section Scar

Two weeks after surgery your C-section scar should be healing, but it can take from six weeks to three months before you’re fully healed. There are some things you can do during the healing process to help improve the appearance of your scar:

  • Always keep your scar clean. Wash the area under running tap water, saline (a salt water solution) or use an alcohol-free wipe.

  • Avoid too much exposure to the sun. Scar tissue is very sensitive, this makes it very easy for scars to get sunburnt.

  • Extremes of temperature can make itchy scars worse particularly heat so avoid very hot baths or showers.

  • Applying a silicone gel such as KELO-COTE® Advanced formula to a healed cut will help flatten, soften and smooth raised scars.

KELO-COTE® C-Section Scar Treatment

Whether you’re due to have a C-section or you’ve already had one, you don’t want to be worrying about your scar when you’re enjoying life with your baby.

So do what other Mums have done over the last 20 years – trust KELO-COTE®’s advanced formula gel to help prevent, treat and reduce the appearance of your C-section scar.

Not only is it clinically-proven to help improve the appearance of existing hypertrophic and keloid scars in around 82% of patients, it’s also proven to help prevent scarring in up to 67% of surgery patients after just four months of twice-daily treatment.

You can also use it to help reduce discolouration and redness whilst relieving the itching, discomfort and pain associated with C-section scars.

And because we know you might have your hands full, you can also buy KELO-COTE® on Amazon or Boots.com. Find out more below.

FAQs

  • How soon can I use KELO-COTE® after injury?

    It is best to use KELO-COTE® after the wound has healed and there are no scabs remaining, or after your sutures are removed. With burns you need to wait until the skin has healed over.

  • Can I use it on old scars as well?

    Yes, you can use it on both old scars up to 4 years’ old and new scars.

  • Is KELO-COTE® waterproof?

    Yes, KELO-COTE® is waterproof.

  • Do I need to wash my scar before or after using KELO-COTE®?

    Make sure your skin is clean and dry before applying KELO-COTE.

    After your stitches, clips and dressings have been removed you should be able to wash normally.

  • Will people notice KELO-COTE® on my skin?

    KELO-COTE® spray and gel are colourless and invisible when dry. KELO-COTE® UV is slightly cloudy due to the inclusion of the UV filters.

  • Will KELO-COTE® make my scar disappear?

    KELO-COTE® advanced formula is designed to improve the physiological and cosmetic appearance of the scar. We cannot guarantee that it will make your scar disappear completely.

  • Is KELO-COTE® suitable for children?

    Yes, KELO-COTE® is suitable for use on children from 3 months of age (Gel & UV 3 months+, Spray 12 months+).

  • How long do I need to use KELO-COTE® for to see an improvement?

    The recommended minimum treatment time for KELO-COTE® is 60 to 90 days. If you continue to see improvement at the end of the 90 days you can continue treating your scar. For older scars it is likely that you will need to continue for longer than 90 days.

  • Does KELO-COTE® offer sun protection for my scar?

    KELO-COTE® Scar Gel UV has added SPF 30 to help protect scars from the aggravating effects of the sun. It is important to reapply sun protection to the scar.
