Kelo-cote® is a patented topical silicone gel for the management and prevention of abnormal scars in the form of hypertrophic scars and keloids.
“[Kelo-Cote® formulation] is appealing because no fixation is required; it is invisible when dry; and sun blocks, makeup, or both can be applied in combination. These features suggest that [Kelo-Cote® formulation] could currently be the most recommendable agent for scar treatment, especially in visible areas.”
Signorini M, Clementoni MT. Aesthetic Plastic Surgery 2007; 31: 183-187
