Curacorn®
Curacorn®
Curacorn® is a unique & innovative treatment using special dermal fillers to cushion ‘inside’ the skin to prevent painful pressure lesions such as corns & calluses, making it the perfect treatment for busy patients who find themselves having to return for with painful lesions regularly.
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 a thinning of the natural fatty padding in the ball of the foot exposing the joints to high pressure on walking
- Athletes that have to wear tight fitting footwear
Patients will be assessed during their foot care 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, our podiatrist will recommend a treatment plan with you.
You will then be booked in for a series of appointments administration and review of your Curacorn®️ treatment.

How many appointments will I require for Curacorn®️ treatment?

We will then administer the Curacorn®️

1 month later we will see you again to further assess and top up if required.
