Curacorn® Foot Treatment for Corns & Pressure Relief in Malta

Persistent, painful corns and burning pressure points beneath the ball of the foot make every step uncomfortable. While traditional podiatric scalpel debridement offers immediate short-term relief, recurring pressure and loss of natural fat pad cushioning often cause these lesions to return.

At Amrita Footcare & Wellness Centre in Birkirkara, Malta, we offer Curacorn®, an advanced, non-surgical treatment engineered to restore internal cushioning and target the underlying mechanical friction beneath the skin.

What is Curacorn® and How Does It Work?

Curacorn® is a specialised podiatric therapy using a medical-grade, highly viscous formulation of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Unlike cosmetic fillers, this robust HA gel is precisely injected into deeper tissue layers of the foot to rebuild protective padding.

By placing a biomechanical cushion directly between prominent bones and the skin, Curacorn® redistributes local pressure and absorbs ground reaction forces. This prevents the repetitive friction that triggers chronic corns, neurovascular calluses, and burning metatarsal pain.

Every Curacorn® procedure is carried out by our qualified podiatrists following a comprehensive lower-limb assessment to confirm clinical suitability.

Why Choose Curacorn® Over Traditional Corn Removal?

Standard corn treatments generally pare away hard, dead skin from the surface. However, unless the underlying mechanical compression is resolved, the body continues producing thick keratin as a protective barrier. Curacorn® solves this issue from within:

• Targeted Internal Cushioning: Introduces a protective buffer beneath the skin rather than just treating superficial symptoms.

• Long-Lasting Relief: Results can last up to 18 months, significantly reducing frequent routine maintenance visits.

• Non-Surgical & Minimally Invasive: Administered under local anaesthetic with no incisions, stitches, or surgical downtime.

• Rapid Recovery: Most patients walk comfortably immediately and return to their routine schedule within 24 to 48 hours.

• Protects Thinning Fat Pads: Replenishes natural adipose tissue lost through ageing, repetitive high-impact exercise, or systemic conditions.

Who Can Benefit from Curacorn® Cushioning?

Curacorn® is suitable for individuals struggling with localized foot pain caused by bone prominence, structural friction, or thinning biological tissue:

• Painful & Recurring Hard Corns: Deep, stubborn corns located on high-pressure zones, such as under the metatarsal heads or the heel.

• Interdigital Corns (Between the Toes): Soft corns caused by neighboring toe bones rubbing together inside everyday footwear.

• Prominent Deformities & Hammer Toes: Friction points over retracted, clawed, or hammer toes that rub persistently against shoe uppers.

• Plantar Fat Pad Atrophy: Loss of natural cushioning across the ball of the foot, often leading to deep burning discomfort and pressure-related calluses.

The Procedure: What to Expect at Amrita Foot Clinic

At our Birkirkara clinic, every treatment adheres to strict clinical protocols designed for patient comfort and hygiene:

• Initial Clinical Assessment: We conduct an in-depth examination of the foot, reviewing lesion depth, vascular status, joint mobility, and overall biomechanics.

• Local Anaesthesia: A gentle local anaesthetic is administered to numb the specific area, ensuring the entire procedure remains comfortable.

• Targeted Micro-Injection: The Curacorn® hyaluronic acid gel is precisely introduced beneath the lesion or pressure point.

• Post-Treatment Guidance & Follow-up: The appointment takes roughly 30 to 60 minutes. You will receive clear aftercare instructions, with follow-up appointments scheduled to review tissue integration.

Clinical Tip: Combining Curacorn® with our prescription Orthotic Insoles provides optimal long-term management, realigning foot posture and reducing localized mechanical strain across the entire gait cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How long do the effects of Curacorn® last?

Clinical results typically last between 12 and 18 months. Hyaluronic acid is naturally and gradually absorbed by the body over time, and repeat top-up sessions can be safely performed as needed.

Is the Curacorn® injection painful?

No. A local anaesthetic is applied before the procedure to numb the target site, ensuring minimal to no discomfort while the gel is injected. Mild localized tenderness or minor swelling may occur for a few days following treatment.

Can I walk right after the appointment?

Yes. Curacorn® is a walk-in, walk-out outpatient procedure. While you can resume everyday light walking immediately, high-impact running, strenuous exercise, and tight footwear should be avoided for the first 48 to 72 hours.
