description for Kelo-cote Scar Gel

Advanced Bio-Technologies, Inc. has developed a revolutionary and patented product that maintains the positive benefits of silicone gel sheets while eliminating the concerns and limitations associated with their use.

Kelo-cote® is an innovative topical silicone gel for the management of scars and for the prevention of abnormal scars in the form of hypertrophic scars and keloids. It is indicated for scars resulting from trauma, surgery, burns or other events that result in broken skin.

Kelo-cote® gel self-dries to a waterproof, gas permeable membrane that acts like an extra layer of skin. It helps to soften, flatten and smooth the scar while maintaining the moisture balance and elasticity of the adjacent skin. It has also been shown to reduce the discoloration and itching associated with scars.

For the management and prevention of scars, Kelo-cote® can be used as soon as the break in the skin is closed (i.e. after stitches are removed).

The best thing for keloids or any other scar - 12/29/2010 9:40:14 PM I have a terrible keloid scar that is more than a foot long - on my neck and upper chest. The only thing I can do to cover it is wear a scar like an ascot. This product reduces the redness, the tightness, the rope- like texture of my scar. It also helps it feel better as it does not pull when I look up anymore. I have used it for quite a while, but I found the prices here to be excellent. One warning - it says it does not stain clothing - I have had several shirts I had to soak and wash about 10 times to get the oily stain out of it. I started either waiting until it's dry to dress (applied after shower) or I put an old sock in the neck of my shirt over the area and take it out when the kelo cote is dry.

Highly Recommended - 10/19/2010 9:13:55 PM My plastic surgeon told me that he had his wife use this product after her c-section. I have only recently been trying to stay on top of making sure I rub this stuff onto my scars every day, and I think it's helping. Although scars fade over time anyway, so maybe it's all in my head...but since my doctor even recommended it for his wife, I trust that it's something I should definitely invest in.
