Understanding Curacorn® Dermal Filler Treatment
Curacorn® is a specialised treatment involving the injection of a highly viscous form of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) into specific areas of the foot. This procedure provides internal cushioning, reducing pressure and friction that lead to painful lesions such as corns and calluses. By addressing the root cause of these issues, Curacorn® offers long-term relief and improves overall foot comfort.
Curacorn Dermal Filler Treatment: Long-Lasting Relief for Painful Foot Conditions
Benefits of Curacorn® Treatment
Effective Pain Relief: Provides cushioning to alleviate discomfort from pressure points.
Long-Lasting Results: Effects can last up to 18 months, reducing the need for frequent treatments.
Minimally Invasive: Offers a non-surgical alternative to traditional corn and callus treatments.
Quick Recovery: Most patients resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
Conditions Treated with Curacorn®
This treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing:
Painful Corns: Especially those located between toes or on top of hammer toes.
Calluses: Thickened skin areas on the soles due to high pressure.
Loss of Fatty Padding: Thinning of natural cushioning in the foot, leading to increased pressure and discomfort.
High-Impact Activities: Athletes or individuals who engage in activities that exert excessive pressure on the feet.
Our Approach to Curacorn® Treatment
At We Fix Feet, we prioritise your comfort and health through a comprehensive treatment plan:
Initial Consultation: We conduct a thorough assessment of your foot condition, medical history, and lifestyle to determine suitability for Curacorn® treatment.
Personalised Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, we develop a customised plan tailored to your specific needs.
Procedure: A local anaesthetic is administered to ensure comfort, followed by the precise injection of the HA gel into the targeted area.
Aftercare Support: We provide detailed guidance on post-procedure care and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor progress.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Anaesthesia: A local anaesthetic is applied to numb the treatment area, ensuring a pain-free experience.
Injection: Using a fine needle, the HA gel is carefully injected beneath the skin’s surface at the identified pressure points.
Duration: The entire procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.
Post-Treatment: You may experience minor swelling or bruising, which usually subsides within a few days. Normal activities can generally be resumed shortly after the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about Curacorn treatment, painful corns, suitability, recovery and what to expect from your appointment.
01 What is Curacorn Dermal Filler and how does it work?
Curacorn Dermal Filler is an injectable treatment designed to cushion and protect areas beneath certain painful corns and over bony prominences of the feet.
Curacorn is a highly viscous hyaluronic acid gel, not silicone, specifically designed to redistribute areas of high pressure in the feet. Unlike facial dermal fillers, it is formulated to withstand the pressure placed on the feet.
Rather than simply removing the corn, Curacorn helps redistribute the pressure that contributes to it forming, with the aim of providing longer-lasting comfort.
02 Who is Curacorn Dermal Filler suitable for?
Curacorn may be suitable for carefully selected patients with persistent, painful pressure corns where reducing pressure beneath the skin may improve comfort.
A clinical assessment is essential before treatment to determine whether Curacorn is appropriate for you.
03 What types of corns can be treated with Curacorn Dermal Filler?
Curacorn is generally considered for specific pressure-related corns rather than every type of corn.
Your clinician will examine the affected area and determine whether your corn is suitable for this treatment.
04 How is Curacorn different from simply having a corn removed?
Routine corn removal relieves symptoms by removing the hardened skin that has formed over an area of pressure.
Curacorn aims to address the underlying pressure by providing additional cushioning beneath the affected area.
05 Can Curacorn help reduce recurring pain from persistent corns?
For suitable patients, Curacorn may help reduce pressure and improve comfort around persistent corns.
Results vary between patients, and no treatment can guarantee a permanent resolution.
06 Will the procedure hurt?
Most patients tolerate the procedure well. A local anaesthetic may be used where appropriate to maximise comfort during treatment.
Your clinician will explain what to expect before the procedure begins.
07 How long does a Curacorn treatment appointment take?
Curacorn appointments are typically completed within 30 to 45 minutes. This includes the clinical assessment, treatment and aftercare advice.
08 How long do the results typically last?
Results vary depending on your activity levels, foot mechanics and the underlying cause of the pressure.
Some patients experience prolonged relief for years, while others may benefit from a repeat or top-up treatment.
09 Will I be able to walk normally after treatment?
Most patients can walk immediately after Curacorn treatment.
We may recommend temporarily reducing high-impact activities while the treated area settles.
10 Are there any risks or side effects associated with Curacorn Dermal Filler?
As with any injectable treatment, there are potential risks and side effects. These may include temporary soreness, bruising or swelling around the treated area.
The potential risks, benefits and aftercare requirements will be discussed fully before you decide whether to proceed.
11 Can Curacorn prevent me from needing surgery?
In suitable cases, Curacorn may reduce symptoms sufficiently to delay or avoid surgery.
However, this cannot be guaranteed, and the most appropriate treatment will depend on the underlying cause of the pressure and pain.
12 How many Curacorn treatments might I need?
Many patients only require one treatment initially.
Repeat or top-up treatments may occasionally be recommended, depending on your response and whether pressure returns to the affected area.
13 What happens if my corn comes back after treatment?
We will reassess the affected area and investigate the cause of the recurring pressure.
Depending on our findings, we may discuss further Curacorn treatment, footwear advice, orthotics or another appropriate treatment option.
14 Is Curacorn suitable for active people and those who spend long hours on their feet?
Yes. Curacorn can be particularly beneficial for suitable patients whose occupation, sport or lifestyle places repeated pressure on specific areas of the feet.
Your activity levels and footwear will be considered during your assessment.
15 Can Curacorn be used alongside orthotics or footwear changes?
Yes. Curacorn can be used alongside orthotics, footwear changes and other pressure-relieving strategies.
Combining treatments may provide a better long-term outcome because it addresses both the symptoms and the underlying mechanical causes of the pressure.
16 Why should I choose We Fix Feet for Curacorn Dermal Filler treatment?
We provide a comprehensive clinical assessment and explain all suitable treatment options before making a recommendation.
Curacorn will only be recommended when we believe it is appropriate for your condition, needs and treatment goals.
17 Will I need an assessment before receiving Curacorn treatment?
Yes. Every patient is assessed before treatment to confirm the diagnosis and determine whether Curacorn is the most appropriate option.
The assessment also allows us to identify factors that may be contributing to the pressure and recurring corn.
18 What alternatives are available if Curacorn is not suitable for me?
Alternative treatments may include routine podiatry care, footwear advice, orthotics or specialist orthotic insole offloading techniques.
In some cases, a surgical referral may also be considered. Your clinician will explain which options are appropriate for you.
19 Is Curacorn Dermal Filler available on the NHS, and why do patients often choose private treatment?
Curacorn treatment is not available through the NHS.
Many patients choose private care because it provides faster access, a personalised assessment and access to treatment options that are not routinely provided through NHS services.
20 How do I know if Curacorn is the right solution for my painful corn?
A consultation allows us to examine the corn, identify the likely cause of the pressure and understand how it is affecting your daily activities.
We can then explain whether Curacorn or another treatment option is likely to provide the best outcome for you.
