If you are always padding your shoes or relying on painkillers to ease foot pain, foot cushioning dermal fillers can provide a safe and long-term solution.

These fillers can provide a more permanent solution to your foot pain, allowing you to enjoy life without discomfort.

Foot cushioning dermal fillers can provide cushioning and comfort to your feet by padding the ball of the foot and protecting soft tissue, nerves, bones, and joints from the impact of repetitive stress.

The specialized filler helps you to reduce the strain on the feet, allowing for improved comfort and mobility. By providing a cushioning layer between the foot and the ground, the filler helps you to absorb shock and reduce the risk of injury.

Additionally, the filler helps to reduce the pressure on the feet, allowing for improved circulation and a reduction in fatigue.

Foot cushioning dermal filler is a non-surgical procedure with minimal side effects. A small amount of dermal filler is injected underneath the skin in areas such as the balls of the foot and toe joints, where extra support is needed.

The extra padding gives a natural cushion to your feet to make them more comfortable for your daily life, and to wear your heels in style.

Dermal fillers composed of hyaluronic acid (HA) are most frequently used to cushion the foot. HA is a natural substance found in your body that attracts and binds to water, providing lubrication, hydration, and cushion.

All the brands of dermal fillers that we offer at the Medical Cosmetic Clinic can be used for foot cushioning.

Types of foot cushioning dermal fillers include hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, which are used to provide extra cushioning and reduce pressure on the area, as well as Sculptra.

Other types of dermal fillers include natural, man-made, or synthetic materials that have been developed for injection into the skin and lips, as well as cushioning foot filler injections for individuals with significant fat pad loss.

Dermal fillers can also be used to provide cushioning for the balls and heels of the feet and to treat arthritis of the foot joints.

Dermal fillers are generally safe when administered by a qualified physician/injector who understands the physiological structures of the foot.

Hyaluronic acid is often used to add volume and hydration, with results typically lasting 6-12 months.

However, needle-free devices such as hyaluronic pens should not be used for the injection of hyaluronic acid due to safety concerns.

The most concerning risk associated with dermal fillers is the potential for an inadvertent injection into a blood vessel.

Other risks include acne-like skin eruptions, asymmetry, bleeding from the injection site, bruising, damage to the skin that results in a scar, allergic reactions, infections, death of skin cells, chronic inflammation and infection, and granulomas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of dermal fillers can be used on the foot?

All dermal filler brands can be used for the foot. Dermal fillers composed of hyaluronic acid are most frequently used for the foot.

What can I expect during the treatment?

There will be an initial consultation to decide on the exact area of treatment, based on the condition to be treated and the desired outcome. The fillers are for adding extra cushion, and won’t affect the shape or look of the foot.

The dermal fillers used at the Wilderman Medical Clinic are safe, but the sole of the foot is highly innervated, thus local anesthetics and pain-reducing medications may be used for the procedure.

What can I expect after the treatment?

• The time it takes for the whole procedure depends on the area being treated. For example, it takes 20-30 min for single toes and 1 -1.5 hours for the ball of the foot.
• The procedure has minimal downtime.
• The filler can last anywhere from 6-12 months as HA naturally breaks down within the body. However, the injections stimulate collagen formation which gives thickness to the tissues for up to 2 years.

Your feet will be protected and comfortable, helping you be more active.
