Calf reduction botox at our clinic in London offers an alternative to surgical procedures for those seeking to reduce the size of their calf muscles for a slimmer leg appearance. It’s a less invasive option with minimal downtime.
The size and shape of calf muscles, particularly the gastrocnemius, can vary due to genetics, exercise routines, and other factors.
While toned calves are often desired, some people might feel that their calf muscles are overly developed or bulky, giving the legs a more muscular appearance than they prefer. For those looking for a non-surgical option to calf slimming, botulinum toxin provides a solution.
What is Botulinum Toxin?
Botulinum toxin is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When introduced in precise amounts into the body, it can temporarily block nerve signals to muscles, leading to a relaxation of the targeted muscle.
How Does Botox Aid in Calf Reduction?
The principle behind botulinum toxin in calf reduction is similar to its use in other muscles:
- By injecting the toxin into targeted areas of the calf muscles (primarily the gastrocnemius), the muscle’s activity is reduced.
- Over time, this reduced activity can lead to a decrease in muscle size or atrophy, giving the calf a slimmer appearance.
How do I know Botulinum Toxin is right for me?
This is where Dr. Hanson comes in. Using our experienced and honest approach to consultations, we will give you the best advice so you can make an informed decision before you take on any treatment. There is no obligation to undertake any treatment.

Consultation: An initial consultation with a qualified practitioner is crucial. They will assess the anatomy of the calves, discuss desired outcomes, and create a tailored treatment plan.
Preparation: The calf area is cleaned, and, if necessary, a topical anaesthetic may be applied for patient comfort.
Injection: Using a fine needle, the practitioner strategically administers botulinum toxin into specific points of the calf muscles.
Duration: The treatment typically lasts between 30-45 minutes, depending on the number of injection points required.
Frequently Asked Questions About Calf Reduction Botox
How does calf reduction botox work?
Botox calf reduction works by injecting botulinum toxin directly into the gastrocnemius muscles in each calf. This procedure gently weakens the muscles over time, resulting in a decrease in size and a softer definition of the calf contours.
Am I a suitable candidate for calf reduction botox?
Dr Hanson will determine if you’re a suitable candidate for calf reduction botox through a physical examination at your consultation. During this assessment, your calves will be evaluated in both a neutral stance and a tiptoed position to check if the bulkiness is caused by enlarged muscles. If that’s the case, botox will be a suitable treatment option for you.
How long do the results of calf slimming botox last?
Results from calf slimming Botox typically last between 4-6 months, though this can vary between individuals. To maintain and prolong the effects, repeat treatments may be necessary.
Can I exercise after botox calf reduction?
Light activities are generally fine during the 6-month effect period of botox calf reduction. However, it’s important to avoid calf isolation exercises, as these can prematurely work the muscles back to their original size before the treatment has fully taken effect. Dr Hanson will go through all the best ways to maintain long-lasting results from your treatment during a consultation.
Will the results of calf reduction botox look natural?
Yes, the results of calf reduction botox will look natural. Dr Hanson is highly skilled in botox calf reduction and carefully tailors the dosages to create a gradual, natural-looking reshape.
Is any downtime required after calf reduction botox?
Most clients experience little to no downtime after calf reduction botox. You might feel mild soreness or slight swelling, similar to what you’d experience after a workout. However, clients can typically resume normal activities immediately following treatment at Dr Hanson’s clinic.
