How long does Leneva stay? Leneva is a treatment which uses injections in order to heal the fat pad at the bottom of your foot. The foot's fat pads act as a cushion to protect the bones and prevent them from being damaged by impact. It can cause pain in one's foot if the cushion is damaged or worn away. Leneva can treat this problem by injecting a substance called "hyaluronic" into the affected area. This substance will plump up the area,and provide cushioning. The injections are generally done every six month and last approximately six weeks. How much does Leneva run? Leneva uses the patient's fat to inject support and cushioning into the feet. This is a revolutionary,minimally-invasive method for foot pain. It takes just minutes to complete and has been proven to be very effective in relieving pain and improving function. Leneva refers to the removal of small amounts from another area of your body with liposuction. This fat is then injected to the areas of your foot where support and cushioning are required. Each patient is different so each person's needs will be considered when selecting the injection sites. 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. It takes only a few days to recover and most patients are able return to their usual activities within a few weeks. 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.
