Sculptra for Correcting Painful Plantar Callousing
Are you struggling with foot pain? Wearing fashionable but painful shoes has to be one of the most difficult choices to make in the morning. Many women believe their stilettos and pumps are responsible for causing deformities like hammertoes and bunions. Not true!
Many of our older patients at Mid Florida Foot, Ankle & Vein Clinic who are ready to have surgery often blame the shoes they wore as young women for the cause. Regardless of the shoes worn, the deformities would develop anyway. That’s good news for those of you sporting a closet full of shoes.
One thing that is true, the natural shock absorber or fat pad on the bottom of the feet diminishes with age for all of us. Some experience this more than others. This absence of a fat pad can lead to painful callous development which can be very painful.
Welcome Sculptra! Sculptra (Poly L Lactic Acid) is an injectable used to volumize areas of the body. Of course it got its start in the face but works anywhere in the body. It encourages the body to make its own collagen effectively building the shock absorber or fat pad back where you need it the most.
It’s combined with an anesthetic just prior to injecting to make it more comfortable. Several injections may be necessary but this lasts for a year if not more and is showing considerable promise.
