The "Loub Job": Foot Cushioning with Dermal Fillers
What Is a Loub Job?
Dermal fillers aren’t just for facial enhancement; they can relieve your feet. More women are turning to the "Loub Job," a procedure that involves injecting dermal fillers into the ball of the foot to cushion the plantar pad. This treatment is particularly beneficial for women who frequently wear high heels, as it helps prevent the condition known as stiletto metatarsalgia—a painful problem caused by excessive pressure on the balls of the feet when wearing high heels.
High heels have long been a symbol of fashion and glamour, but they often come at the cost of significant discomfort. High heels put immense pressure on the feet, from corns and bunions to more severe issues like metatarsalgia. This pain intensifies as the heel height increases, causing aches, burning sensations, and even long-term damage.
How the "Loub Job" Works
At Skin Renewal, the "Loub Job" involves injecting Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers into the ball of the foot to create a cushion that absorbs pressure. Hyaluronic Acid, a natural sugar found in skin and cartilage, is commonly used for facial treatments, but its cushioning properties also make it ideal for foot filler treatments.
In this quick, minimally invasive procedure, the doctor will first numb the area using ice and an anaesthetic, ensuring a pain-free injection. Once the filler is in place, it provides immediate relief, making high heels much more comfortable.
Benefits of the "Loub Job"
Prevents Stiletto Metatarsalgia: Helps prevent burning and aching in the balls of the feet caused by high heel pressure.
Enhanced Comfort: Cushions the foot pad, allowing you to wear heels for extended periods.
Long-Lasting Relief: The procedure's effects can last up to 6 months, providing prolonged comfort for high-heel wearers.
Boosted Confidence: Walk tall without discomfort, perfect for those frequently wearing fashionable heels.
Botox for Foot Sweating
In addition to dermal fillers, the deluxe "Loub Job" treatment at Skin Renewal includes Botulinum Toxin injections. This helps prevent excessive sweating in the feet and aggravating discomfort while wearing heels. Reducing sweating can also improve balance and stability when walking in high heels.
Why Choose Dermal Fillers for Foot Cushioning?
Over time, the plantar fat pad—the protective fatty tissue in the sole—naturally wears down due to ageing, weight, or frequent high heel use. This thinning can increase discomfort and difficulty walking, even in flat shoes. Dermal fillers replenish this lost volume, restoring the foot's natural padding and preventing conditions like Tarsalgia.
The "Loub Job" is a straightforward, 30-minute procedure by trained Skin Renewal doctors. You can leave the clinic with minimal downtime, and results can be felt almost immediately. Whether planning a big event or just wanting daily relief from high heel pain, this treatment offers a practical solution to enhance foot comfort.
