Kelo-cote®
is recommended
by physicians
Silicone is now the scar
treatment choice of plastic
surgeons worldwide.2
Over the past 20 years,
strong evidence has demonstrated
the efficacy of silicone for scar
treatment and abnormal scar
prevention.3
Silicone has, therefore, become
the gold standard for physicians.
International Clinical
Recommendations on Scar
Management recommend that
silicone should be the first line
therapy in the management
of all scars and particularly in
the prevention of keloid and
hypertrophic scars.2
Kelo-cote® is clinically proven.
The only patented silicone gel clinically proven to:1,4
• Smooth, soften and flatten keloid and hypertrophic scars
• Relieve scar itching and discomfort
Kelo-cote® was shown to be effective in the largest ever scar study (1522 patients)1
• Physicians and patients evaluated overall effectiveness as “very good” or “good” in over 80% of the cases1
• Overall tolerability evaluated by physicians and patients as “very good” or “good” in over 98% of the cases1
How Kelo-cote® works
Kelo-cote® dries to form a breathable, flexible and waterproof sheet.
The sheet creates a protective barrier against chemical, physical and bacterial invasion,
while assisting with skin hydration.
This allows the scar to mature through normalised collagen synthesis cycles,
and improves the physiological and cosmetic appearance of the scar.
