Best Scar Removal Cream - What is the best?

What is the best scar removal cream on the market? There is no topical product that has been clinically proven to “remove” or get rid of a scar entirely. If a product makes the claim that it is the “best scar removal cream”, or that it will make a scar disappear, a buyer should beware.

If you’re looking to manage and/or prevent abnormal scars, an ingredient clinically proven to be highly effective is silicone. Silicone gel has proven efficacy in scar management and abnormal scar prevention and has become the gold standard of dermatologists and plastic surgeons worldwide.

Kelo-cote® is a patented topical silicone gel for the management and prevention of abnormal scars in the form of hypertrophic scars and keloids. Silicone is considered the clinical gold standard and first-line therapy for scar treatment and abnormal scar prevention based on The International Clinical Recommendations on Scar Management.1 Kelo-cote® has also been successfully used to manage scars resulting from trauma, burns and surgery. Regardless of the origin of the scar, Kelo-cote® has proven results, as evidenced by clinical studies and satisfied healthcare professionals and customers from around the world. Kelo-cote® is the most studied topical scar product, with more than 2,000 patients participating in a variety of published clinical studies.
