Uses
Kelo-cote Solaire Gel is prescribed for use by patients with scars to help heal scar tissue, making the scar less visible, and softening any irritation, pain or discomfort. As well as general scaring this product is often used for hypertrophic, keloid scars which are a result of surgery, burns, or pregnancy.
It is a silicone based gel which leaves a breathable, flexible, and water-resistant layer of gel which lasts for 12 hours. It can be used over joints and hairy areas of skin with no problems, and is safe for use by both children and those with sensitive skin.
Kelo-Cote Solaire gel has all the benefits of other products but with the added effects of offering protection from the sun, which helps to protect the scar and promote better results. It may be used alongside other products, as prescribed by your physician.
Dosage and administration
Always administer this medication as advised by your physician. Different patients may require different dosages based on their medication history and current physical condition.
Before you apply the gel, clean the area to be treated and leave to dry. Apply a thin layer over the scar(s) to be treated, and then leave uncovered for 5 minutes to allow the gel to dry.
For best results, apply the gel twice a day, 12 hours apart, in the morning and in the evening. As the gel's protective layer lasts for 12 hours, this means the scar will be constantly protected, allowing for improvements to be seen quick.
Side effects
Kelo-Cote Solaire Gel is tolerated very well when used as recommended. However, if you suspect you have any side effects as a result of using this medication you should inform your physician as soon as you are able to.
Precautions
Always ensure your physician prescribing this medication is aware of any other medication you are using, any allergies you have, and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Keep out of reach of direct sunlight, and store in a cool place, out of reach of children and pets. |
