Plantar callus (" corn seed ", Clavus Durus) is a very unpleasant and painful disease caused by dead skin cells hardening and thickening in an area of the foot.Calluses usually appear on the soles of the feet, heels and/or the inside of the big toe. Some calluses have a deep core called nucleation.
Several treatment options are available, such as electrosurgery, cryosurgery, chemical agents (salicylic acid) and scalpel excision. Of the treatment options available, none are uniformly effective, and most are associated with different limitations and side effects, such as necrotic debris.
Laser treatment for Clavus Durus is painless and usually takes less than 10 minutes per session. Move the laser slowly over the entire treatment area until you are finished. Pioon medical diode laser penetrates deep enough to reach the muscles, ligaments and tendons in the feet and ankles without damaging tissue like other treatments. When your cells absorb light energy, they use it to initiate cell renewal and healing. This reduces pain and inflammation and can also trigger your immune system to fight fungal infections.
Preparation:Soak the feet with corn in warm water containing disinfectant for approximately 10 minutes. This step helps soften the callused skin and promotes cleanliness.
Local Anesthesia:Use 4-6 radially distributed injection points to apply local anesthesia around the callus. This ensures that the patient remains comfortable during the procedure.
Excess Skin Removal:Carefully remove or scrape off excess skin from the affected area. This step is crucial for exposing the core of the callus and preparing it for laser treatment.
Laser Application:Direct the laser to the corn root to stop bleeding and fully cauterize the blood vessels. The precision of the laser allows for targeted treatment without causing unnecessary damage to surrounding tissues.
Cell Renewal and Healing:As the cells absorb light energy, they initiate cell renewal and healing. This process helps in reducing pain and inflammation, and it can also stimulate the immune system to combat fungal infections.
Precision:Laser treatment offers a high degree of precision, targeting the affected area without causing collateral damage.
Quick and Painless:The procedure is swift, usually lasting under 10 minutes, and is generally painless for the patient.
Deep Penetration:The diode laser penetrates deep into the tissues, reaching muscles, ligaments, and tendons, ensuring comprehensive treatment.
Reduced Side Effects:Compared to some traditional treatments, laser therapy is associated with fewer side effects, providing a more comfortable experience for the patient.
In conclusion, laser treatment for Clavus Durus presents a promising and efficient option with its painless nature, quick procedure time, and potential for reduced side effects. Always consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most suitable treatment for individual cases.
