Curacorn® dermal fillers are an established aesthetic procedure and involves a highly viscous form of Hyaluronic Acid to ‘cushion’ painful lesions, reducing pressure over the painful areas and decreasing the production of callus and corns caused by friction.
It was initially introduced in the UK to protect at risk people with diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis from foot ulceration, and has been successful in providing long term comfort to people with painful lesions on any area of the toe, the ball of the foot or even the heel.
It enables us to form a ‘cushion’ underneath a lesion to decrease the production of callus and corns and ultimately relieve the pain associated with them. Its effects can last up to 18 months.
Who Can Benefit and What to Expect
Patients who can benefit from a treatment like this include:
Those with painful chronic corns on high weight-bearing areas or in-between the toes
Patients with loss of the natural fatty padding in the ball of the foot exposing the joints to high pressure on walking
Those with biomechanical changes within the foot leading to high pressure areas (eg: Bunions and retracted toes)
What to expect on the day:
Patients will be assessed during an appointment or in the case of an existing patient their routine appointment, where we will take a full medical history, and assess your suitability for treatment. This will also include a full Vascular and Neurological assessment and lesion check with pressure analysis.
If suitable, a treatment plan will be discussed and agreed.
You will then be booked in for a series of appointments with Emma Bell for the administration and review of your Curacorn®️ treatment.
Appointment 1 - We will revisit your suitability and check no changes to your medical status, consent you for treatment, photograph the lesion, debride it and administer a small amount of local anaesthetic prior to the area to make the procedure as comfortable as possible for you. We will then administer the Curacorn®️
Appointment 2 - This is 2-3 weeks later where we will re-assess you and if required top up the treatment using exactly the same procedure.
Appointment 3 - One month after the second appointment we will see you again to further assess and top up if required.
