Who can benefit from dermal filler in their feet?

• Dermal fillers are effective in eradicating painful corns, they are a great alternative to surgery for chronic painful corns.
• Dermal fillers are great for individuals who like to wear high heels and find it is becoming increasingly painful to wear them for any length of time due to pain and secondary corns or callous formation either on the sole of the foot or toes.
• Dermal fillers are great for patients who have lost the fatty padding on the balls of their feet and are in constant pain and discomfort when walking.
• Dermal fillers are great for hammer toes which become inflamed and painful from shoe pressure

Dermal fillers are recommended whereby conventional or conservative podiatric method attempts have failed in alleviating foot pain, or the patient no longer negate the need to have padding stuck to the foot which can impede on hygiene and look unsightly.

The application of injecting dermal fillers into the feet is an advanced procedure whereby specialised hyaluronic fillers are used to plump up the balls of the feet and cushion toe joints. This reduces painful weight bearing pressures to reduce excess forces and friction. The result is support and cushioning to provide comfort and relief when wearing high heels, on feet for long duration or have lack of anatomical padding resulting in painful corns or callouses.

Dermal fillers are primarily used for aesthetic procedures to plump up, smooth out, and contour. They are gels of different viscosities which are comprised of hyaluronic acid(HA). A synthetic form that does not consist of animal derived ingredients. HA occurs naturally within the body, present in the skin, joints and eyes. It is hydrophilic, which means it attracts water molecules to ‘plump’ up, cushion and keep structures supple and flexible. It is a natural substance which in time naturally breaks down.

At my foot doctor our podiatrist has studied a wide range of dermal fillers to offer our patients the best evidence based treatments, Restylane has over 20 years proven track treatment and safety record. Stylage is an advanced dermal product are combines with an antioxidant, Mannitol, naturally present in nature in celery, olives and raspberries to which can reduce some of the common side effects associated with hyaluronic acid injections (redness and swelling). The presence of Mannitol, the “free radical scavenger”, limits the effects of free radicals on the dermis and on the product injected, thus reducing the risk of post-injection inflammation. Stylage takes longer to break down and is longer lasting. ReDexis can be used for plantar augmentation also, all options will be discussed during consultation. The fillers are carefully injected in small volumes underneath the skin, where the cushioning is required to restore volume and structure. The fillers will not affect the shape or look of the foot, but simply apply additionally required cushioning.
