Calf Slimming with Botulinum Toxin for Contoured Lower Legs
Calf slimming, often known as gastrocnemius muscle reduction or lower leg contouring, is a specialised, non-surgical treatment designed to reduce the appearance of muscular calves. This procedure is ideal for individuals who feel their calves appear too bulky or prominent and wish for a more streamlined, balanced silhouette. The treatment focuses specifically on the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles in the lower leg, which are responsible for calf shape and size.
How Botulinum Toxin Works for Calf Contouring
Botulinum toxin injections work by reducing the activity of the gastrocnemius muscle, leading to a gradual reduction in muscle size and creating a slimmer, more balanced calf contour. This approach is ideal for those who desire a streamlined leg shape with subtle, refined results. The procedure is quick and involves minimal discomfort, allowing clients to return to their daily activities with ease.
Longevity and Maintenance
Calf slimming results typically last 4–6 months as the muscle response varies individually. With regular maintenance sessions, the effects of botulinum toxin can be sustained over time. Repeated sessions may also lead to a cumulative effect, as the calf muscles gradually adapt to reduced activity, potentially extending the interval between treatments.
