Foot hyperkeratosis (excessive skin thickening)
Hyperkeratosis is a condition where the skin on the feet becomes excessively thickened and rough. It most commonly appears on the heels, balls of the feet, and other areas exposed to increased pressure. Causes may include tight or uncomfortable footwear, flat feet, excess weight, metabolic disorders (including diabetes), and insufficient foot care. This thickening of the skin can lead to dryness, a feeling of tightness, pain when walking, cracks, and even inflammation.
How the procedure is performed:
The specialist examines the foot and determines the degree of hyperkeratosis. A gentle hardware treatment is then performed:
- Thickened and keratinized layers of skin are carefully removed using professional burrs.
- A softening and healing professional cream is applied afterwards, and in some cases, a restorative mask or a therapeutic dressing is used.
- Finally, recommendations are given for at-home care and suitable footwear.
Benefits of the procedure:
It’s important for many people to understand how comfortable the procedure will be and how quickly they can return to daily life.
- Instant improvement in skin condition
- Safe and painless removal of thickened areas
- Prevention of cracks, calluses, and inflammation
