KELO-COTE® Clinically Proven Silicone Scar Gel UV 6g

Kelo-Cote advanced Formula Scar Gel with added SPF30 protection is intended for the management of new and old (up to 4 years) hypertrophic and keloid scars resulting from general surgical procedures, trauma, wounds and burns. Kelo-Cote gel self-dries within 4-5 minutes to form a waterproof gas permeable membrane that acts like an extra layer of skin. It helps soften, flatten and smooth raised scars whilst maintaining the moisture balance and elasticity of the adjacent skin. It also reduces discolouration, redness and associated itching, pain and discomfort of scars. Kelo-Cote can be used on flexures, joints and irregular surfaces as well as large scar areas. It can also be used in conjunction other treatment options such as pressure garments. Cosmetics and additional sun protection can be applied once Kelo-Cote has dried. Kelo-Cote is suitable for use on children from 3 months and people with sensitive skin.

How it works

Kelo-cote forms a bond with the stratum corneum (the outer layer of dead skin cells) forming a protective barrier against chemical, physical and microbial invasion of the scar site while assisting with hydration. This creates an environment which allows the scar to mature through normalized collagen synthesis cycles, and improves the physiological and cosmetic appearance of the scar.
