About Kelo-cote® Scar Repair Gel
Kelo-cote® is a patented, transparent, self-drying silicone gel technology which improves the appearance of scars and prevents abnormal or excessive scar formation. Its main ingredient, silicone, is the No. 1 dermatologist-recommended scar-reduction treatment ingredient. Kelo-cote® works to diminish the appearance of hypertrophic scars and keloids, which have a raised and/or discolored appearance. These types of scars may result from surgery, injury, burns, acne, cuts, insect bites, and others. Kelo-cote® is self-drying, colorless and odorless. When used as directed, Kelo-cote® has been shown to soften and flatten raised scars, and reduce the redness associated with scars. Kelo-cote® is clinically tested, and effective for both old and new scars; it also is suitable for use on children and people with sensitive skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How long should I use Kelo-cote®?
Treatment duration will vary from person to person and from scar to scar, depending on many factors. Recommended minimum treatment time is 60-90 days. Larger and older scars may take longer, therefore continued use is recommended if improvement is still seen after the initial 90 days. Individual results will vary.
-
Can Kelo-cote® completely remove a scar?
It is not possible to make a scar “invisible.” Kelo-cote® may, however, markedly improve the appearance of scars – old and new.
-
Can I use Kelo-cote® on any part of my body?
When used as directed, Kelo-cote® can be used on any part of the body, avoiding mucous membranes, open wounds, and direct contact with eyes. It is ideal for exposed or hard-to-treat areas such as face, ears, neck, scalp, arms, hands, and joint areas. Once dry, Kelo-cote® can also be worn under makeup.
