The effective and proven scar treatment

Kelo-cote® is the most effective scar treatment product on the market today and is the most cost effective. A very thin layer is applied, which means that it is the best value product currently sold for scars.

Silicone is the clinical gold standard for scar treatment and scar prevention having demonstrated clinical efficacy over all other forms of topical treatments and is recommended by the “International Advisory Panel on Scar Management” as the first line therapy1 in the treatment of:

  • Linear Hypertrophic Scars
  • Keloids
  • Widespread Burn Hypertrophic Scars

Key factors for silicone based therapies to work are:

  • Contact time with the skin
  • Patient compliance and ease of use

Kelo-cote® is a patented silicone gel formula that works differently to other silicone gels and sheets or other topical scar treatment formulations:

Treatment Option Contact Time with the Skin
Kelo-cote® Kelo-cote® gel self-dries to a waterproof, gas permeable membrane that acts like an extra layer of skin. This ensures constant contact time to the entire surface of the scar allowing Kelo-cote® to work 24 hours a day.
Silicone Gel Sheets Silicone Gel Sheets are difficult to secure and can never provide constant contact to the scar surface due to movement and natural creases in the skin and scar tissue.
Other Formulations Silicone has strong clinical evidence that clearly shows significant success in the reduction of thickness, redness and itchiness of scars.

 

Treatment Option Patient Compliance and Ease of Use
Kelo-cote®

Applied in a very thin layer, Kelo-cote dries within minutes, and remains for 24 hours (apply twice daily to areas of high abrasion).  It helps to soften, flatten and smooth the scar while maintaining the moisture balance and elasticity of the adjacent skin.

  • No sticky residue
  • No staining clothes
  • Can apply makeup over Kelo-cote®
Silicone Gel Sheets Silicone Gel Sheets require securing with tape or other means, need to be washed each day and can cause pruritus, rashes or maceration.
Other Formulations Other topical silicone gels leave a sticky residue and can be removed through natural movement breaking the contact time and may stain clothing.
