Botox Calf Reduction For Lower Limbs

The calf muscle of the human body is one of the most noticeable features. Therefore, when your calf muscle is large, bulky, and out of proportion, it is not only aesthetically unpleasant but also affects your self-confidence. In such a scenario, Botox calf reduction is often the only solution.

For women with heavy, bulky and muscular calves, it usually becomes a matter of concern, as it becomes difficult to wear their favourite dresses, short skirts, skinny jeans or zip-up tall boots. To achieve slim and feminine looking legs and improve their overall appearance, Botox calf reduction is the ideal solution.

What Causes Large Bulky Calves?

Some of the common reasons behind your bulky and swollen calves are:

Genetics
Obesity
Muscle Hypertrophy (Enlarged Muscles)
Cellulite
Water Retention

Calf Reduction by Botox Injections

The primary goal of calf reduction is to create a harmonious and smooth contour of the legs. Otherwise, the lower legs can appear shorter and unappealing.

For some, bulky calves is an aesthetic concern, while for others, it is a medical one that impedes blood flow. Moreover, large calf muscles may compress arteries in the lower leg.

Botox calf reduction is a non-surgical procedure to slim the lower limbs. Unlike surgical muscle resection of the calf muscle, nerve ablation or liposuction, Botox can create visible and sustainable results.

Who Can Have Botox Calf Reduction?

Botox injections for calf reduction are ideal for overall healthy men and women who wish for more slender and symmetrical calves. It is a good option for anyone who wants a non-surgical solution for their disproportionate calf muscles.

Calf Reduction by Botox is ideal for you if you:

Are not happy with your calves size
Maintain a healthy body weight
Do not have excess amounts of loose skin, especially if you have undergone a dramatic weight loss
Hold realistic expectations about the results
Do not have any serious health issues
Are not suffering from water retention issues

How Does Botox Reduce Calf Muscle Size?

Botox is an approved prescription medication that helps to carry out many non-surgical cosmetic procedures. It restricts the activity of muscles, making them inactive. Prolonged activity leads to disuse atrophy (shrinkage) of the muscle.

In general, the amount of Botox needed to treat calf muscle hypertrophy is a lot more than the amount needed for your facial muscles.

The calf reduction usually requires 100-150 units of Botox. However, your doctor will determine the right amount for you after a thorough assessment and examination.

How Does Botox Calf Reduction Work?

A detailed consultation takes place before the treatment. It involves examining your calf muscles, expectations, medical history, and possible outcomes of the procedure.

Very fine needles are used to inject Botox into the muscles. The Gastrocnemius muscle is responsible for bulky and thick calves. Botox, therefore, helps to reduce the size of these muscles and make them smoother.

It is important to note that your calf muscles will continue to function normally. Therefore, you can continue your regular activities after the treatment.
