Calf Botox Injection for Slender and Sexy Legs




#1   Calf Botox Injection
There are such surgical procedures such as a calf nerve block and muscle recession that can improve thick calves, which often trigger a rejection reaction. Instead, non-surgical Botox injection is gaining its popularity lately. Botox is injected around the calf muscles to supress the secretion of acetycholine, a neural transmitter that helps reducing the amount of muscles. As it selectively reduces the volume of muscles on the desired area, it effectively reduces the knots in the calves. Botox can be injected to the muscles on both outer and inner calves. The muscles loosen up 3~4 weeks after the injection and the bulgeness on the calves gradually reduced.

#2   Effects
The effect of the injection starts to kick in 1 month later, and last for 3~6 months, thus, one should get another injection 6~12 months after the previous one.
#3   Ideal candidate
 - Those with thick, bulging calves
- Those who wish for sleek legs
- Those who often have a cramp
- Those whose legs swells often
#4   Advantages
- The procedure only takes 5~10 min.
- There is no significant pain.
- It does not require anesthesia.
- No scar is left as no incision is made.
- Although a needle mark may be visible immediately after, it will soon disappear.


#5   Precaution
Though calf injection is a simple procedure, you should check certain matters before the procedure. First, you need to see a specialist to get the accurate diagnosis on which calf muscles have to be modified. You should also make sure that only a correct dose of certified Botox will be administered to the calves to achieve definite results under safe circumstance.

#6   Procedure
[Specialist consultation] --> [Calf muscle diagnosis] --> [Botox injection]
Patients stand on their toes with their heels up so that the calf muscles are contracted and the doctor can see the status of the muscles.

#7   Post Management
- Swelling, bruise around the injected spot and a little itchness will naturally disappear.
- The injected spot may feel stiff temporarily after injection.
- One should not lie down for 3~4 hours after injection and keep the injected spot away from water for 4 hours.
- One should not massage the injected spot and avoid hot sauna for about a week.
- One should neither engage in strenous leg exercise for 10 days nor wear high heels for long hours.

  1. I read this article with great interest. I haven't yet had a patient complain of prominent calves, but I've had many patients complain about cramps in their calves. I look forward to seeing if this will develop into a treatment for those symptoms.

  2. Does Botox help relieving muscle cramps? I often have severe calf muscle cramps at night.

  3. Botox has the ability to relax the muscles around the injected area, thus, it is widely used to treat a variety of muscle spasms
