How long does Leneva take to wear out? Leneva uses injections to restore the foot's fat pad. The fat pad acts like a cushion and protects the feet from any impact. It can cause pain in one's foot if the cushion is damaged or worn away. Leneva can reduce the pain by injecting a substance called Hyaluronic Acid into the area where it has been worn away. This substance will plump up the area,and provide cushioning. The injections are done approximately every six to eight months. Each one lasts about six weeks. How much does Leneva run? Leneva is an innovative,minimally invasive treatment for foot discomfort that injects the patient’s own fat to improve cushioning and support. It is fast and easy to do and can help reduce pain and improve function. Leneva uses liposuction to remove a small amount fat from another region of the body. This fat can then be injected into the area of the foot that requires support or cushioning. Each patient has different needs so the injection locations are chosen carefully. Leneva's procedure uses the patient’s own fat. Therefore,there is no risk for rejection or allergic reaction. The fat cells in the foot will grow and continue to live long after injection. Leneva can also be performed in an outpatient setting,meaning that you don't need to spend time in hospital. The recovery time is quick,with most patients being able to resume their daily activities in a matter of days. Leneva could be right for your foot pain.

KC Foot Care offers a noninvasive way to treat foot pain caused by a recurring callus,pain in the ball of the foot or heel and even ulcerations due to loss of fat padding. As we age,the fat pad to our feet shifts due to hammertoe and bunion deformity or repeated steroid injections for plantar fasciitis. The fat pad thins down,causing increased pressure points and pain with every step we take. Leneva is an allograft adipose matrix derived from donated human tissue used for tissue reconstruction. This is a safe and clinically proven solution to help with foot pain without steroid injections or surgery. Leneva is also FDA approved. How can I treat corns and calluses at home? Unless the cause of the corn and callus is addressed,they will not go away and often grow back. Home care includes gentle exfoliation using a pumice stone regularly. Using a razor or cuticle scissors is risky and can cause an infection. Do not use any over the counter medicated products with salicylic acid without consulting a podiatrist. Using these products without supervision can make the issue worse. What other treatments are available? The goal in treating the corn or callus is to reduce the pressure causing it. Choosing wider appropriately sized shoes,prescribed skin softeners with urea or lactic acid,regular foot care,felt pads,gel inserts and custom orthotics are usually the first line of treatment. Recent advancement in medicine has made many foot fillers,including fat allograft (Leneva),as a nonsurgical option injection therapy for pain relief. Lastly,surgery may be considered in severe cases.
