Product Description
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.Customer Reviews
Good stuff.I tried this product because it said it was a self drying "sheet". I have used silicone sheets before with great success upon advise of my doctor, so when this said self drying "sheet" I decided to give it a try. The tube is tiny and when I applied it as instructed and spread it very thin, it just remained a very sticky area...I tried thinner and thicker coats of it to no avail...stick, sticky that stuck to my clothes. I even put a big bandage over it to get dressed so it wouldn't stain my clothes, but it never dries all day. After weeks with no visible difference I brought it to my follow up visit to my surgeon who told me this it NOT the same as a silicone sheet. He explained that silicone sheets work becase of the way they cover the skin and cause a very slight gentle pressure on the area(the good ones are slightly tacky) that makes the silicone work(he said actual sheets duplicate the function of healthy skin to stop scar tissue from forming there). He told me for the best...
did not change the look of my scar - really sticky never dried
This works wonders. If you are looking for something to minimize scars, this is for you.
