Kelo Cote: Advanced Formula Scar Gel

How Do Scars Form?

Your skin is a magical organ, but like any body part, if heavily damaged can struggle to fully repair back to its original aesthetic. When the skin is wounded and there is a break in the body’s tissues, the body produces a protein called collagen, which builds up where the tissue has been damaged, helping the wound to heal and strengthen.

The Types of Scars

Hypertrophic scars are usually red, thick and elevated and can be itchy or painful.

• Keloid scars are thick, rounded and irregular clusters of scar tissue that extend beyond the original wound.

• Atrophic scars are generally small, round depressions that lie below the surface of the surrounding skin.

Although scars are permanent, they can fade over a period of up to two years. It is often unlikely that they will fade any more after this time, however, there are options available should you wish to further fade such skin blemishes.
