Curacorn - Dermal Fillers for corns

What is Curacorn?

Curacorn or Dermal filler for corns is a treatment where hyaluronic acid gel is injected underneath the skin to help reduce symptoms associated with corns or stop them reoccurring at all. Corns are areas of deep hard skin which are concentrated and happen due to areas of high friction and pressure. Traditionally methods of external cushioning and padding have provided relief; with the Curacorn treatment this cushioning in alternatively injected beneath the skin under the corn. The treatment can last 6-18 months or in some cases it can permanently resolve the corn.

Who can benefit from Curacorn?

Those who have severe, persistent and reoccurring corns which are failing to resolve with other methods such as footwear modifications or padding, who want to try a treatment that can reduce the need for routine podiatry appointments. It may not work as well on joints due to the limited space under the skin to inject the gel.
