Reviews about the gel "KeloKot"
If you compare the responses of people who used the original American drug and those who applied Chinese fakes to the skin, then, of course, you can see the global difference.
Negative reviews are associated with unsuccessful attempts by patients to eliminate long-term scars using inexpensive analogues or replicas. In cases with old scars, it is worthwhile to understand that gel alone is simply not able to solve such a problem. Indeed, for effective removal of long-standing scars, complex therapy is needed, supplemented by physiotherapeutic measures.
But positive reviews belong, as a rule, to those who used KeloKot gel for the treatment of recent scars. In such situations, the drug really showed itself perfectly and showed a good result.
Of course, many users are unhappy with the high cost of the gel (in the range of 1,000–1,500 rubles). However, according to doctors, such a price is fully justified by the effectiveness of the drug.
