Looking to reduce the size of your calves?

Calf slimming treatments at Skin Medical utilise Botox is a medical procedure that can help slim down the appearance of bulky calf muscles and achieve a more aesthetically pleasing look to the legs that lifestyle changes and exercise alone are unable to deliver.

The procedure involves injecting Botox (botulinum toxin) into your calf muscles, specifically targeting the gastrocnemius muscle. The Botox works by temporarily paralysing the muscle, which leads to a shrinking of the muscle over time. This reduces the bulkiness of the calves. The procedure typically includes:

An initial consultation with your practitioner to discuss your expectations, concerns and suitability. Your practitioner marks the injection sites on the calf, and administers the Botox into the targeted muscles using fine needles.

How safe is it?

When performed by your qualified and experienced doctor at Skin Medical, calf slimming with Botox is considered relatively safe. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, including:

Mild pain or discomfort at the injection site.

Temporary bruising or swelling can occur.

Muscle weakness, which is the intended effect, might impact activities that rely on strong calf muscles.

Putting your trust in a qualified and highly experienced physician like Dr Sabika Karim for a treatment of this nature is critical, and like with all our treatments is subject to an in depth consultation.

How long does the treatment take?

The procedure itself is relatively quick, taking no more than 30 minutes. However, the results are not immediate. The slimming effect typically becomes noticeable after a few weeks to a couple of months as the muscle gradually atrophies. The full results can take up to 3 to 6 months to be fully appreciated.
