Corns and calluses can make everyday activities uncomfortable. While traditional treatments offer temporary relief, Leneva® corn and callus treatment provides minimally invasive foot care in our Portland practice. If you want to restore natural foot cushioning and reduce pain, the Oregon Institute of Foot Care LLC can help.
Leneva For Corns and Calluses
At OIFC, Dr. Manson uses the breakthrough, non-surgical Leneva injections to treat ball of foot pain, corn and callus discomfort, and diabetic ulcers.
Leneva is a new fat grafting system introduced in the United States in November 2019. Leneva injections are a non-invasive way to treat foot pain caused by corns, calluses, and ulcerations due to loss of fat padding.
As we age, the fat pad on our feet shifts or wears down, causing increased pressure points and pain with every step. This all-natural injectable product comprises sterilized human fat tissue (called adipose tissue) placed within a cellular matrix.
Why Do Corns and Calluses Develop?
Corns and calluses form due to repeated friction or pressure, often caused by ill-fitting shoes, high-impact activities, or changes in foot structure. Over time, the skin thickens as a protective response, leading to discomfort. Traditional removal methods can be ineffective, making regenerative foot care solutions like Leneva foot treatment at our Portland practice a better option.
What are the Intended Uses for Leneva Injections?
Leneva is a first-of-its-kind human adipose tissue for tissue reconstruction. As an all-natural extracellular matrix, it is a safe, natural, off-the-shelf solution to replace damaged or inadequate adipose tissue. The injections have multiple clinical applications including, but not limited to:
Calluses and Corns
Ball of Foot Pain
Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Pressure Ulcers
Tunneling Wounds
Fat Pad Reconstruction Procedures
What Is Leneva® For Corns and Calluses?
Leneva is an allograft adipose matrix derived from donated human tissue for tissue reconstruction. It is a safe and clinically proven solution to help with foot pain without steroid injections or surgery. Leneva is also FDA-approved.
When inserted under a pressure point, Leneva cushions the area and provides a scaffolding for your body to build new fat cells at the injection site. This combination of grafted fat plus your new fat cells creates a stable cushion that can provide comfort over many months to years.
Fat pad loss under the ball of the foot and heel is a common cause of pain in many patients who feel like they are walking on rocks with each step. Patients with significant fat pad loss complain about extreme forefoot pain, the inability to tolerate walking barefoot on hard surfaces, painful recurrent calluses, and even open blisters or wounds. Leneva injections help patients regrow the fat they once had on their feet.
Benefits of Leneva Treatment
Leneva® corn and callus treatment is a groundbreaking non-surgical solution that revitalizes foot cushioning. It stands out for its ability to:
- Alleviate pressure and discomfort caused by corns and calluses
- Stimulate natural fat pad regeneration for lasting relief
- Avoid the need for cutting or skin removal, ensuring a safer approach
- Offer a more effective, long-term alternative to conventional treatments
Experience improved foot comfort and mobility with this innovative treatment.
Who Is a Candidate for Leneva?
You may benefit from Leneva corn treatment if you experience chronic pain from corns or calluses, have reduced fat padding on your feet, or want minimally invasive foot care in Portland. It is suitable for individuals looking for a regenerative approach without surgical intervention.
How Often Is Leneva Done?
After the first treatment, patients are seen by Dr. Manson for a follow-up in four to six weeks. It can take about three months for the injection to incorporate fully. Depending on activity level, the average length of time that the injection lasts is about two years.
What Happens During Leneva Treatment?
Leneva is an injectable product administered in our office that caters to patients in Portland, Lake Oswego, and West Linn. After Dr. Tyler Manson has placed a small amount of local anesthesia in the skin to numb the treatment area, the Leneva fat matrix is injected below the skin to add internal fat cushioning at your pressure point.
This human fat and cellular scaffolding complex remains where it has been placed, and over time, your body further fills the scaffolding with your fat cells. After the Leneva is applied to your foot, you can go home and follow post-treatment instructions as you go about your daily life with very little downtime or discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can I resume normal activities?
Most patients can walk immediately after the procedure but should limit high-impact activities for a few days to allow proper healing. Full benefits typically develop over several weeks as the body regenerates lost tissue.
How long do results last?
Results vary based on individual healing responses, but many patients experience relief for months or longer. The treatment encourages fat pad regeneration for feet, offering a more lasting solution than temporary padding or traditional removal methods.
Is the procedure painful?
The injection process is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. Some mild soreness may occur at the injection site, but it typically resolves within a few days.
Healing and Care After Leneva Treatment
Recovery is straightforward. Most patients resume normal activities within a few days. The injected material integrates with your tissues, stimulating the body’s natural repair process. While results vary, many experience noticeable improvement in foot comfort within weeks. Patients should avoid excessive pressure on treated areas to allow optimal fat pad regeneration for feet.
How Much Does Leneva® Treatment Cost?
Most insurance companies do NOT typically pay for Leneva injections. If your insurance should apply any amount of those charges to patient responsibility (copay, coinsurance, deductible, etc.), then you will be responsible for those charges. The price of the Leneva at our office covers the cost of the injectable, processing, local anesthesia, and the actual procedure of injecting the Leneva.
$1000 for single callus or corn (1.5 cc of LENEVA®)
$1500 for heel (3 cc of LENEVA®)
How Is Leneva Different From Other Treatments For Fat Pad Atrophy?
What’s so revolutionary about Leneva is that the product organizes itself to fill in the fat-deficient area, decreasing the likelihood of product displacement so that the material remains in the area where Dr. Manson placed it. It not only provides the area with an instant fat cushion, taking the pressure off the area right away, but it also inserts a scaffolding that provides a space for your body to produce new fat cells over time.
In fact, during clinical trials in which the product was used to treat pressure ulcers, researchers measured decreases in peak pressure on the wound sites, resulting in decreased callus formation. Other studies showed that Leneva encouraged the formation of new blood vessels (vital for wound healing) and new fat cells (important for added cushioning).
By creating a much longer-lasting natural cushion, Leneva can potentially reduce pressure and friction and, therefore, pain. It can improve the patient’s quality of life suffering from foot pain.
