For Hyperkeratotic Conditions, Choose Kamea® G
As summer approaches, patients are increasingly focused on the appearance and comfort of their feet. Stubborn calluses, persistent rough, dry skin, and other hyperkeratotic conditions can be frustrating for them and challenging for you to manage effectively with over-the-counter options alone.
At The Tetra Corporation, we understand the need for clinically effective solutions. That’s why we offer Kamea® G, a professional-grade keratolytic designed for in-office dispensing to help your patients achieve smoother, healthier skin. Learn more about it in the blog below!
Understanding Hyperkeratosis: When Skin Works Overtime
Hyperkeratosis is simply the thickening of the outermost layer of the skin, often in response to friction, pressure, or certain skin conditions. This can manifest as:
- Calluses: Those hard, thickened patches, especially on weight-bearing areas.
- Severe Dry, Rough Skin: Beyond what typical moisturizers can handle.
- Keratosis Pilaris: Small, rough bumps on the skin.
- Psoriasis-related scaling: Thickened, scaly patches.
- Seborrheic Keratosis: Common benign skin growths.
While some mild cases respond to basic exfoliation, moderate to severe hyperkeratosis often requires a more potent, targeted approach.
How Kamea® G Works
Kamea® G harnesses the power of glycolic acid, a well-known alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA).
Think of it as a highly effective, yet gentle, exfoliant. Glycolic acid works by:
- Breaking Down Dead Skin Cells: It dissolves the “glue” holding dead skin cells together on the surface.
- Promoting Cell Turnover: Encouraging the shedding of old, thickened skin and the emergence of newer, smoother skin underneath.
- Improving Skin Texture & Appearance: Leading to noticeably softer, smoother, and healthier-looking skin.
Kamea® G is specifically formulated as an effective keratolytic for the debridement (removal) of these hyperkeratotic skin conditions.
Why Dispense Kamea® G in Your Podiatry Practice?
Offering Kamea® G directly to your patients provides several key benefits for both them and your practice:
- Clinical Strength & Efficacy: You’re providing a professional-grade formulation that delivers noticeable results for stubborn skin conditions, often superior to what patients can find over-the-counter.
- Enhanced Patient Outcomes: Effectively treating calluses and rough skin improves patient comfort, reduces pain from friction, and can even enhance the penetration and effectiveness of other topical medications (like antifungals if thick skin is a barrier).
- Increased Patient Compliance & Trust: When patients receive a targeted solution directly from you, their trusted podiatrist, they’re more likely to use it correctly and consistently. This reinforces your role as their primary foot health resource!
- Professional Recommendation: You can confidently recommend Kamea® G, knowing it’s designed for the specific conditions you treat daily.
Ideal Patient Candidates for Kamea® G Include Those With:
- Persistent, painful calluses
- Severely dry, rough, or thickened skin on the feet
- Skin scaling associated with conditions like psoriasis (as an adjunct to their primary treatment)
Don’t let hyperkeratotic skin conditions frustrate your patients or limit their comfort. Kamea® G offers a powerful, clinically oriented solution for effective skin debridement and renewal. Combine it with our Kamea® 20 for moisturization and hydration, you’ll be sure to see results that last.
