Kelocote Scar Therapy Review + Win a tube Of Kelocote!

Kelo-cote is made by ABT First let me tell you about Kelocote (and give you some useful links!) then, I'll tell you about some of their promotions, and lastly, my own experince with them. I know how important pictures are to this blog post, however the nature of which I got my scars and location,... I gave it a LOT of thought, and eventually decided that I just couldn't put myself out there like that. Not to disservice my readers, but somethings are better left unspoken, and unseen. However I did research and dig up some before and after photos for you. I apologize immensely for this, but I wrestled with this and subsequently lost. :0

Kelo-cote is a revolutionary product that 800+ physicians carry & recommended!

About the KeloCote spray - While it isn't for me, my husband tried it and loved the cold sensation. Where I am spraying however, its not pleasant whatsoever. But I did continue to use it anyway, but it was kind of "invigorating" and halfway painful. *Laughing*
This 100mL can contains enough Kelo-cote Spray, when used as directed, to treat an area of 30 square inches (5"x6") once per day for approximately 12 weeks. Obviously I went too heavy handed, bc it did not last me that long.
Ingredients
Polysiloxanes, Silicon Dioxide.
Kelo-cote® Spray was specifically developed for the treatment and prevention of painful, sensitive and widespread scars. Its unique delivery system allows Kelo-cote® Spray, a lightweight, self-drying silicone gel, to be applied without rubbing or touching.
Kelo-cote® Spray rapidly dries to form a flexible, breathable, waterproof silicone gel sheet that binds to the top layer of your skin. This ensures treatment is delivered 24 hours a day. It can be used on joints, flexures, hairy areas and large area scars such as those caused from burns, major trauma or pregnancy and is suitable for adults and children.
Kelo-cote® Spray's effectiveness is to flatten, soften and smooth scars, relieving the itching and discomfort as well as reducing the discoloration associated with scars.

About the Kelocote Gel:
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. For the management and prevention of scars, Kelo-cote® can be used as soon as the break in the skin is closed (i.e. after stitches are removed) Ensure that the affected area is clean and dry. Apply Kelo-cote to the area as a very thin coat and allow to dry. Should be applied once daily, or twice daily in areas exposed to abrasion. Once dry, Kelo-cote can be covered with cosmetics or sun block. Recommended duration of treatment 60-90 days.
Ingredients - Polysiloxane, Silicon Dioxide.

about the Kids spray (I didn't get to test..) The only Silicone scar treatment available in a spray, Kelo-cote is proven to be safe for even the most sensitive skin of babies and children of all ages. Kelo-cote Kids Spray fades the scars caused by cuts, scrapes, burns, insect & animal bites, stitches and surgery.

Kelo-cote Kids Spray forms a protective barrier over the scar, and works to regulate moisture level and the collagen production. The "touch-free" application is ideal for kids. The gentle, non-stinging formulation means no "owwies" and is therefore easier for parents to apply.



My thoughts on Kelocote:

I have a terrible surgical scar that is more than a 3 inches long - on my torso. This product reduced the redness, the tightness, the rope- like texture of my scar. The whole thing had a turnabout really. I used this product for 8 weeks, 2x daily, as recommended. At first I used the Kelocote spray ( the entire can, and I seemed to use more of it than the gel), then I started in on this enormous tube of scar gel they also sent me. I have used a third of the tube. I have learned however, to go sparingly on the gel, as opposed to the spray. With the spray I felt like I had to use more, but with the gel, I learned the more you use, the more rub-off you get on your clothes. I had it saturate one shirt when I laid down in bed. But on a more positive note, it did not stain or bleach and washed out entirely! :) It also helps it feel better as it does not pull anymore. I started either waiting until it's dry to dress (applied after shower) or I put a band-aid over the area and take it off when the Kelo cote is dry.
