Calf Botox is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to reduce the appearance of bulky calf muscles and create a slimmer, more balanced leg contour. By relaxing overactive calf muscles, this treatment helps soften muscle prominence without surgery.

What Is Calf Botox?

Calf Botox involves injecting botulinum toxin into the gastrocnemius muscles of the lower legs. This reduces excessive muscle contraction and gradually decreases muscle bulk, leading to a more streamlined calf shape.

Benefits of Calf Botox

Calf Botox may provide several contouring benefits, including:

• Slimmer-looking calves
• Improved leg proportions
• Non-surgical muscle contouring
• Minimal downtime
• Gradual, natural-looking results

Who Is Calf Botox Suitable For?

Calf Botox may be suitable for individuals who:

• Have bulky calf muscles due to muscle hypertrophy
• Want slimmer legs without surgery
• Prefer non-invasive body contouring options
• Understand that results are gradual

This treatment is generally not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.

Common Areas Treated With Calf Botox

Calf Botox is typically applied to:

• Medial and lateral gastrocnemius muscles

Treatment plans are tailored based on muscle size and leg shape.

How Calf Botox Treatment Works

The treatment process typically includes:

1. Evaluation of calf muscle size and movement
2. Marking and cleansing the treatment area
3. Targeted injections into calf muscles
4. Immediate return to normal activities

⏱ Typical session: 20–30 minutes
🩹 Downtime: Minimal

When to Expect Results

Initial changes may begin within 2 to 4 weeks, with more noticeable calf slimming developing over 4 to 8 weeks as muscle activity decreases.

How Long Calf Botox Results Last

Results typically last 4 to 6 months, depending on muscle strength, dosage, and activity level. Maintenance treatments may be needed to maintain results.

Calf Botox vs Other Leg Slimming Treatments

Calf Botox differs from other leg contouring options:

• Targets muscle bulk rather than fat
• Does not require surgery or incisions
• Provides gradual contour improvement
• Not suitable for fat-related calf enlargement

After Calf Botox treatment, general recommendations include:

• Avoid strenuous leg exercise for 24–48 hours
• Avoid massaging the calves for 24 hours
• Avoid saunas and hot baths for 48 hours
• Resume normal walking as tolerated
