Dermal Fillers for Feet – Sculptra and LENEVA

Instant Pain Relief for plantar fat pad atrophy in the heel and metatarsal region

Dermal fillers are predominantly used for cosmetic treatments to augment and provide instant pain relief to the plantar aspect of the foot. These fillers are gels of various viscosities made from hyaluronic acid (HA) or poly-L-lactic-acid. HA is a natural glycosaminoglycan found in the body, existing in the dermis, synovial fluid, and vitreous humor. It is hydrophilic, meaning it attracts water molecules to ‘plump’ up, cushion, and maintain the resilience and flexibility of structures.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers for Feet:

  1. Plantar padding: Restores cushioning in areas of fat pad atrophy
  2. Shock absorption: Improves biomechanical function during gait
  3. Pain relief: Reduces discomfort associated with plantar pressure
  4. Non-surgical option: Minimally invasive alternative to surgical interventions
  5. Quick recovery: Patients can usually resume normal activities shortly after treatment

Sculptra (Poly-L-lactic acid):

  • Stimulates collagen production
  • Provides gradual, long-lasting results
  • Typically requires multiple treatments for optimal effect

LENEVA (Hyaluronic Acid):

  • Provides immediate volume
  • Highly biocompatible
  • May require periodic touch-ups to maintain results

Indications:

  • Metatarsalgia due to fat pad atrophy
  • Plantar heel pain associated with fat pad deterioration

Diabetic foot ulcer prevention in high-risk areas

Procedure:

The filler is injected into the subcutaneous tissue of the affected area using a fine needle or cannula. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.

 

Potential Side Effects:

While generally safe, patients may experience temporary:

  • Edema
  • Erythema
  • Ecchymosis
  • Pruritus
