Curacorn® Treatment Glasgow
Curacorn® is an advanced treatment designed to relieve pain caused by corns, calluses and areas of high pressure on the feet.
The technique uses a specialised hyaluronic acid dermal filler, which is carefully placed beneath the skin to create a cushioning layer between the bone and the surface of the foot. This helps reduce friction and pressure that can lead to painful lesions.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found within the body that attracts water and helps maintain cushioning and hydration within the tissues. When used within the foot, it can help restore lost padding and reduce pressure in painful areas.
By restoring cushioning in these areas, Curacorn® can significantly improve comfort when walking, standing, and wearing shoes.
What is Curacorn®?
Curacorn® is a specialised podiatry treatment designed to reduce pressure in painful areas of the foot.
By placing dermal filler beneath the skin, the treatment helps create a protective cushion between the bone and the surface of the foot. This reduces the friction and pressure that cause corns and calluses to form.
The treatment can be particularly helpful for patients who experience persistent discomfort from pressure points that do not fully respond to routine podiatry care.
Curacorn® can be used to help relieve pain caused by:
• Painful corns
• Persistent callus
• Pressure beneath the ball of the foot
• Areas where natural padding has reduced over time
Which Foot Conditions Can Be Treated With Dermal Fillers?
When people think of dermal fillers, they often associate them with facial aesthetic treatments. However, dermal fillers can also be used in podiatry to help relieve pain from areas of high pressure in the feet.
By placing a specialised hyaluronic acid filler beneath the skin, we can create a cushioning effect between the bone and the surface of the foot. This helps reduce friction and pressure that lead to painful lesions such as corns and callus.
Dermal fillers can be particularly helpful for patients who experience ongoing discomfort from pressure points that do not fully respond to routine podiatry care.
Restoring volume in these ulcer-prone areas proved very successful in helping patients with diabetes prevent painful ulcerations, but that’s not the only use. It can also:
Prevent Corns
A corn is a hard, thickened area of skin, usually found on the side of your pinky toe or other areas of your foot. They typically develop as a result of unwanted pressure or friction in order to protect the toe from further damage, most commonly from poorly fitting shoes. They can be painful and sensitive to touch and also cause you pain while wearing certain types of shoes.
Curacorn can increase the volume of fatty tissue surrounding these areas where a corn might otherwise develop, creating a cushioning effect that prevents the corn from forming.
Reduce Pain in Hammertoes
A hammer toe is a name for when your middle toe bends downwards or inwards towards the bottom of your foot. This condition can be very painful and cause pain when walking or exercising. It can also lead to other foot-related problems and, due to the increased pressure or pain on your foot, alter your gait and cause pain in your lower limbs, hips and even back. Curacorn can relieve some of the inflammation and pressure placed on your foot from hammertoes.
Reduce Arthritic Pain
Much like any joint in the body, arthritis on your feet can be uncomfortable. It can cause your joints to become stiff and painful and limit you from wearing certain types of shoes or doing certain activities. An additional layer of filler can provide you with a new lease of life by giving you an additional layer of cushioning that protects your feet.
Other Benefits
Dermal fillers can also provide additional benefits beyond treating specific lesions. By restoring cushioning in high-pressure areas, they can improve overall comfort when walking, standing, or wearing certain types of footwear.
For patients who spend long periods on their feet at work or who experience discomfort from pressure beneath the ball of the foot, the added cushioning can make daily activities and exercise more comfortable.
In some cases, patients also find they can wear a wider range of footwear more comfortably once painful pressure points have been reduced.
