FAQs
When should I begin using Kelo-cote?
You may begin using Kelo-cote as soon as the skin is healed and there is no oozing or crusting in the area. Treatment with Kelo-cote for post-surgical scars may typically begin approximately 1-2 weeks after stitches are removed or when cleared by your physician or surgeon for use. For existing scars, you may begin using Kelo-cote right away, provided your skin is fully healed.
What types of scars does Kelo-cote work on?
Kelo-cote works to diminish the appearance of hypertrophic scars and keloids, which have a raised and/or discolored appearance. These types of scars may result from surgery, injury, burns, acne, cuts, insect bites, and others.
Can I use Kelo-cote on any part of my body?
When used as directed, Kelo-cote can be used on any part of the body, avoiding mucous membranes, open wounds, and direct contact with eyes. It is ideal for exposed or hard-to-treat areas such as face, ears, neck, scalp, arms, hands, and joint areas. Once dry, Kelo-cote can also be worn under makeup.
Can Kelo-cote completely remove a scar?
It is not possible to make a scar 'invisible'. Kelo-cote may, however, markedly improve the appearance of scars – old and new.
How long should I use Kelo-cote?
Treatment duration will vary from person to person and from scar to scar, depending on many factors. Recommended minimum treatment time is 60-90 days. Larger and older scars may take longer, therefore continued use is recommended if improvement is still seen after the initial 90 days. Individual results will vary.
