Kelo cote is a transparent gel, which has polysiloxanes and silicon dioxide in it, which act to maintain the hydric balance of the skin, thus facilitating the regeneration of scars, which can be caused by surgeries, burns or other injuries.
Thus, Kelo cote is a product that prevents and reduces the formation of hypertrophic and keloid scars, also relieving the itching and discomfort that are usually associated with the healing process. See other treatments that help reduce keloid.
Kelo cote is still available in spray or gel with sun protection factor 30, and these products can be obtained in a pharmacy for a price of about 150 to 200 reais.
What is it for
Kelo cote gel can be used on all scars, however, it is important that the wound that gave rise to it, is already completely closed. In addition, this gel can still be used after surgery, but only after removal of the stitches.
This product can also be used as a preventive in the formation of keloids, which can occur in surgeries, injuries or burns.
How it works
This healing gel forms a thin film, which is permeable to gases, flexible and waterproof, which binds with the skin, forming a protective barrier, preventing contact with chemicals, microorganisms and other substances and maintaining the region's hydration .
Thus, with all these conditions, an optimal environment is created for the scar to mature, normalizing the cycles of collagen synthesis and improving the appearance of the scar.
