Silicone gel for hypertrophic and keloid scars

Description

KELO-COTE Scar Gel 6g is a patented silicone gel medical device designed to improve the appearance of hypertrophic and keloid scars and to help prevent abnormal scarring. It forms a flexible, transparent, waterproof film that provides 24-hour protection with twice-daily application. The 6g tube is recommended for scars up to 7.5 cm long and is suitable for both new and existing scars (generally up to 4 years old), including surgical, cosmetic, burn, C-section and other traumatic scars. The gel is transparent, odourless (non-UV version), and can be used on adults and children.

Usage

Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before application.
Apply a very thin layer of KELO-COTE onto the scar twice daily (morning and evening).
Do not rub the gel in; allow it to self-dry for approximately 4–5 minutes.
If the gel has not dried within about 5 minutes, too much product has been applied. Gently remove the excess and allow the remaining thin layer to dry.
Once dry, the gel forms a flexible, transparent, waterproof film that should remain in continuous contact with the skin for 24 hours.
Sunblock and cosmetics may be applied over the dried film if desired.
Recommended minimum treatment duration is 60–90 days. Larger or older scars may require longer treatment; if improvement is still observed after 90 days, continued use is recommended.
Begin use as soon as the wound is fully closed or sutures have been removed; do not apply to open wounds.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity or allergy to any of the ingredients (silicones or excipients).
Do not apply to open wounds, mucous membranes or third-degree burns.
Do not use on dermatological conditions that compromise the integrity of the skin.
Avoid direct contact with eyes.
If persistent irritation or adverse reaction occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Adverse Effects

Generally well tolerated; occasional local irritation, redness or discomfort may occur in sensitive individuals.
Product may stain clothing if it is not completely dry before contact with fabrics.
As with all topical products, there is a small risk of local allergic or hypersensitivity reaction.

Storage Conditions

Store below 25°C.
Keep away from heat sources and open flames; do not smoke during application or while the gel is drying.
Keep tube tightly closed when not in use.
Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
Do not use after the expiry date stated on the packaging.
Shelf life for unopened packaging is typically 48 months (according to some market summaries).

Duration

Minimum recommended treatment time 60\u201390 days with twice-daily application; older or larger scars may require longer, and use may be continued as long as improvement is observed (typically on scars up to 4 years old).

Onset

Visible improvement generally develops progressively over the treatment period with consistent twice-daily application; clinical sources describe noticeable softening, flattening and reduction in redness over several weeks to months of continuous use.
