Leneva Injections for Foot Fat Pad Restoration

Leneva Injections

What Are Leneva Injections?

Leneva is an innovative, FDA-cleared injectable treatment that uses human adipose-derived extracellular matrix to safely and effectively restore lost cushioning in the feet. Unlike synthetic fillers, Leneva supports the body’s natural ability to regenerate fat tissue, making it a groundbreaking option for patients suffering from pain due to fat pad loss and pressure-related foot issues.

How It Works

Leneva is injected into the area where fat pad loss has occurred—commonly the ball of the foot or heel. The all-natural matrix encourages your own body to grow new fat tissue, helping restore the natural padding that protects bones, nerves, and soft tissue. The result is long-lasting pain relief and improved foot function.

Conditions Leneva Can Treat

  • Fat Pad Atrophy (forefoot or heel)
  • Painful Calluses or Pressure Points
  • Metatarsalgia
  • Plantar Fasciitis (in some cases)
  • Diabetic foot-related pressure ulcers
  • Chronic foot pain due to footwear or overuse

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a great candidate for Leneva injections if you:

  • Experience burning or aching in the balls of your feet when walking or standing
  • Have thinning skin or visible loss of padding on your soles
  • Are looking for a non-surgical alternative to relieve chronic foot pain
  • Want a regenerative solution rather than temporary symptom relief

Contraindications

While Leneva is well-tolerated by most patients, it may not be suitable for individuals who:

  • Have active skin infections or ulcerations at the treatment site
  • Have uncontrolled diabetes or peripheral vascular disease
  • Are allergic to human-derived tissue products
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding (precautionary)

What to Expect

The procedure is performed in-office and typically takes about 30 minutes. Patients can return to most daily activities within a day or two. Relief may be noticeable in a few weeks as the body begins regenerating tissue, with full benefits continuing to develop over months.
