Kelo-cote: FAQ’s 

dermacare

How soon can I use KELO-COTE after injury?

It is best to use KELO-COTE after the wound has healed and there are no scabs remaining, or after your sutures are removed. With burns you need to wait until the skin has healed over.

Is KELO-COTE effective only on old scars?

KELO-COTE is most effective on new scars and immature scars up to 2 years old. There is some evidence to show that the product can be effective on scars up to 4 years old.

Does KELO-COTE offer sun protection for my scar?

KELO-COTE Scar Gel UV has added SPF 30 to help protect scars from the aggravating effects of the sun. It is important to reapply sun protection to the scar.

Is KELO-COTE waterproof?

Yes, KELO-COTE is waterproof.

Will people notice KELO-COTE on my skin?

KELO-COTE spray and gel are colourless and invisible when dry. KELO-COTE UV is slightly cloudy due to the inclusion of the UV filters.

Will KELO-COTE make my scar disappear?

KELO-COTE advanced formula is designed to improve the physiological and cosmetic appearance of the scar. We cannot guarantee that it will make your scar disappear completely.

How often should I use KELO-COTE?

You should apply a thin layer to the clean, dry scar twice per day, allowing to dry over the next five minutes.

How long do I need to use KELO-COTE to see results?

The suggested minimum duration is 60-90 days. If you're still seeing improvement after the minimum you may extend the treatment for your scar. In the case of older scars, it is probable that treatment will need to be continued for more than 90 days.

What is the difference between KELO-COTE silicone gel and silicone sheets?

KELO-COTE Gel is an advanced formula silicone gel which is easily applied directly to the scar, and self-dries quickly. It adheres to the scar, can be used on joints and doesn’t restrict movement. Silicone sheets may be less convenient to apply, potentially requiring sticking in place, particularly on joints and can restrict movement.

Also KELO-COTE Gel is transparent (not KELO-COTE® UV) and will be less visible than sheets on exposed areas.

Finally, unlike silicone gel sheets which are removed, washed and reapplied, a new layer of KELO-COTE is easily applied at each use.

The choice between silicone gel and sheeting is based on many factors, including scar size and location alongside individual preferences. Your healthcare professional will be able to help you decide which is most appropriate for your scar.
