Kaloidon Gel
Tube - 30 and 75 ml
Kaloidon Gel is an advanced formula designed to prevent and treat hypertrophic scars and keloids resulting from surgery or burns. Its transparent gel texture and a special combination of active ingredients promote scar flattening, improve skin elasticity, and relieve symptoms such as itching, redness, and burning. Kaloidon Gel is also indicated to help prevent uncomfortable tightness and adhesions to the underlying tissues, especially when combined with daily massage of the scar.
- ONION EXTRACT (Allium cepa): Rich in Quercetin (> 10%), this ingredient helps reduce inflammation during the skin repair process. Thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it limits collagen hyperproliferation and relieves redness, itching, and other discomforts associated with scar formation.
- PULLULAN: it is a natural film-forming polymer, ideal for protecting and moisturising scar tissue. It forms a thin, breathable film that retains moisture, helping form a protective barrier on the skin. In addition, it makes it easier and more comfortable to massage the scar, thereby improving elasticity and reducing adhesions.
- HYALURONIC ACID and CHONDROITIN SULFATE: an ideal combination to keep the skin hydrated and promote its natural elasticity. They support the skin regeneration process, improving the flexibility and softness of scar tissue.
- ALLANTOIN: a soothing agent with soothing properties, particularly effective in reducing itching and burning. Promotes skin comfort during the healing process, contributing to healthier, less irritated skin.

What types of scars is Kaloidon Gel indicated for?
Kaloidon Gel is indicated for both prevention and treatment. It is ideal for post-operative and burn scars, as well as for existing hypertrophic scars and keloids. It can be used in combination with occlusive dressings for an even more effective action.
How does Kaloidon Gel work?
Kaloidon Gel keeps the skin hydrated and protected thanks to Pullulan, which forms a protective film, and components such as Hyaluronic acid and Chondroitin sulphate, which promote hydration and support scar remodelling. In addition, the Onion extract and Allantoin present in the formulation reduce inflammation, relieve itching and burning, and prevent collagen hyperproliferation, promoting a more uniform scar appearance.
When can I start treatment with Kaloidon Gel?
Preventive treatment with Kaloidon Gel can begin once the stitches have fully dissolved or been removed, when the skin is completely intact. For existing hypertrophic or keloid scars, it is advisable to start with Kaloidon Patch for about 4 weeks, then continue with Kaloidon Gel applied twice daily, with thorough massage of the area.
How is Kaloidon Gel used?
Apply Kaloidon Gel to clean, dry skin two or more times a day, using an appropriate amount for the area to be treated. Gently massage for a few minutes until the product is completely absorbed.
What colour is Kaloidon gel?
Kaloidon Gel has an amber colour, determined by the Allium cepa extract (onion extract) present in the formulation. As a natural ingredient, the colour can vary slightly from batch to batch without affecting the product's concentration or efficacy. Each batch contains more than 10% quercetin, ensuring maximum effectiveness in treating scars.
What does Kaloidon Gel smell like?
Kaloidon Gel has a slight onion-like smell that is initially perceived during application but fades quickly due to the volatile nature of its components. This smell is associated with the use of a full onion extract, rich in Quercetin, to ensure the product's effectiveness.
Can I use Kaloidon Gel during pregnancy and lactation?
There are no known contraindications for the use of Kaloidon Gel in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. However, it is always advisable to consult your doctor before use.
Can I use Kaloidon Gel in paediatric age?
There are no known contraindications for the use of Kaloidon Gel in children. In this case, however, it is advisable to consult the paediatrician or referring physician before applying.
