Corn Removal Treatment
Corns are thickened areas of skin that form as a response to friction and pressure, often appearing on the feet, toes, and sometimes on the hands. While corns are generally not harmful, they can become painful and affect your comfort and mobility. At Dermalogic, we offer safe and effective corn removal treatments, ensuring lasting relief and restoring the comfort of your feet.
During Treatment
During your corn removal session, our experienced professionals will guide you through the process, ensuring your comfort at every step. Depending on the treatment chosen, a local anesthetic may be applied to the area to minimize discomfort. Corn removal is generally a quick procedure, and the pain relief is often immediate.
After Treatment
After the treatment, you may be advised to keep the area clean, dry, and avoid putting pressure on the treated foot for a short period. You will also receive tips on footwear and lifestyle changes to prevent future corns from developing.
Our treatments for corn removal are effective in eliminating discomfort and restoring smooth, healthy skin. With proper aftercare and preventive measures, you can enjoy long-lasting relief and improved comfort while walking or standing.
What to expect
Corn Removal Treatments
At Dermalogic, we provide a range of effective treatments for corn removal, customized to your specific condition and comfort:
-
Debridement: This is a procedure where the thickened skin is carefully shaved down using a sterile scalpel. Debridement instantly reduces discomfort, allowing immediate relief from pressure and pain.
-
Cryotherapy: Cryotherapy involves applying liquid nitrogen to freeze the corn, which then causes the skin to slough off, allowing healthy skin to replace it. This is an ideal treatment for corns in less accessible areas.
-
Laser Therapy: Laser treatment is an effective way to target and remove corns with precision. The focused laser energy breaks down the corn tissue without damaging the surrounding skin, providing long-lasting results and reducing the risk of recurrence.
-
Orthotic Support: For lasting prevention of corns, orthotic devices may be recommended. These are custom-made shoe inserts that help redistribute pressure and reduce friction on the affected areas.
