Restore Comfort. Regain Confidence in Every Step.

Are you suffering from heel pain, forefoot discomfort, or a burning sensation in the balls of your feet when walking or standing? These symptoms could be due to a loss of natural fat padding in your feet—an issue more common than many realize, especially as we age. At Burlington Podiatry, we are proud to offer Leneva® Fat Pad Injections—a cutting-edge, nonsurgical solution to restore the cushioning your feet need for pain-free mobility.

What Is Fat Pad Atrophy?

Your feet naturally have fat pads that act as shock absorbers, protecting your bones, joints, and soft tissues. Over time, due to aging, overuse, medical conditions (like diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis), or even certain footwear choices, these fat pads can wear down. This leads to:
  • Increased pressure on bones and joints
  • Pain during walking or prolonged standing
  • Callus buildup or skin breakdown
  • Difficulty wearing shoes comfortably
Without proper support, the skin and bones of the feet bear the brunt of daily activity, leading to chronic foot discomfort.

What Is Leneva®?

Leneva® is an FDA-approved, injectable adipose matrix derived from purified, donated human fat tissue. It’s a regenerative treatment designed to replace lost fat padding in the feet—particularly in high-pressure areas like the heel and ball of the foot.
Once injected, Leneva acts as a scaffold, stimulating your body’s natural healing response. Over time, your body will regenerate its own fat tissue in the treated area, offering long-lasting relief and renewed cushioning.

What to Expect During Treatment

At Burlington Podiatry, your Leneva injection treatment will include:
  1. Initial Evaluation: A thorough exam and imaging (if needed) to confirm fat pad atrophy and determine if you’re a good candidate.
  2. Treatment Planning: Discussion of your goals and expectations. We’ll explain how Leneva works and walk you through every step.
  3. The Procedure: In-office injection with minimal discomfort. The process typically takes less than 30 minutes.
  4. Recovery: Most patients return to normal activity shortly after the procedure. You may need to wear offloading pads or custom orthotics to help protect the treated area during the healing process.
Unlike traditional fat grafting, there is no need to harvest your own fat—Leneva is ready to use and requires no downtime or stitches.
