What is Curacorn®?
Curacorn® is an innovative treatment using hyaluronic acid gel injections to cushion ‘inside’ the skin to help prevent painful pressure lesions such as corns & calluses.
This makes it a perfect treatment for people who lead busy lives and want their foot pain gone once and for all.
What Can Curacorn® Help With?
- Corns and Callus - Curacorn® (hyaluronic acid) helps to prevent the buildup of painful skin lesions.
- Fat Pad Atrophy - As we age, the natural ‘fatty pad’ in our feet atrophies (wears away). Curacorn® provides a ‘new’ fat pad helping to relieve pain from direct bone to skin contact.
- Interdigital Corns or Callus - For corns and callus that form between the toes due to repetitive friction, Curacorn® acts as cushion to prevent continuous friction between two toes.
- Sports / Athlete related foot pain - Athletes, runners or anyone involved in high impact sports, Curacorn® reduces impact and any pressure discomfort.
How Does Curacorn® Work?
Curacorn® involves painlessly injecting a viscous, hyaluronic acid gel under your skin to cushion the forefoot, heel or toes to prevent pain and hard skin formation. Unlike other ‘dermal fillers’ Curacorn is a highly concentrated hyaluronic acid with a thicker, long-lasting texture.
Will the Curacorn® procedure hurt?
Curacorn® is carried out under local anaesthetic which makes the procedure painless. Any pain from the local anaesthetic is minimal and short lived. The injection of hyaluronic acid is completely pain-free.
