Curacorn
Long-Lasting Relief from Painful Corns & Calluses
Are you tired of recurring foot pain caused by corns and calluses? At Mirfield Podiatry, we offer Curacorn®, an innovative treatment that provides long-term relief by addressing the root cause of these painful lesions.
What Is Curacorn®?
Curacorn® is an advanced treatment that uses hyaluronic acid (HA) gel injections to cushion areas of the foot prone to corns and calluses. This gel reduces pressure and friction under the skin, offering lasting relief and improved comfort.
How Does Curacorn® Work?
Corns and calluses form due to pressure between bones and skin.
Curacorn® works by:
-
Injecting HA Gel to cushion and protect the area
-
Reducing skin stress to stop hard skin forming
-
Improving comfort and relieving pain almost immediately
Who Can Benefit?
Curacorn® is ideal for those with:
-
Corns between or on top of toes
-
Pressure points on the soles of the feet
-
Lost foot padding (fat pad atrophy)
-
Foot pain from high-impact activities
-
Long-term conditions like diabetes or arthritis

-
Are under 18
-
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
-
