What is “calf Botox injection”?
The phenomenon of calf muscle development, known as ``shaky legs,'' is caused by exercise and the use of high heels, and is a problem that is difficult to correct with training or massage.Botox injections using botulinum toxin extracted from Clostridium botulinum are considered to be an effective solution to this problem.
Botulinum toxin is diluted with saline and then injected directly into the particularly developed calf muscle (gastrocnemius).The aim is to inject 5 to 10 locations on each side, and when injected into the muscle, the muscle temporarily relaxes and recedes.As a result, the volume of your calves is reduced, giving you a slimmer appearance.
Botox injection is a cosmetic treatment mainly used for antiperspirant, wrinkle removal, and reducing muscle volume, and its effectiveness is also recognized as a slimming treatment for overdeveloped calf muscles.However, it is recommended that you avoid strenuous exercise for about a month after the procedure, as muscle regression will continue.In addition, when combined with liposuction, more effective improvements can be expected in both fat and muscle.It is important to receive professional counseling as the appropriate treatment will differ depending on the patient's condition.
Reasons why your calves look thick
One of the reasons why your calves look thick is excessive hypertrophy of your calf muscles.Most of the calf is made up of muscle, so even if you lose the fat in your calves through diet, the muscles you built up in your calves remain, so it may be difficult to lose weight even with exercise or diet.
Botox is effective for “sham feet” caused by these developed muscles.
Mechanism of slimming legs
- Botox injections are performed directly into the gastrocnemius muscle of the calf.
- Muscles relax, weakening excessive muscle development.
- By reducing excess muscle, your legs will become slimmer and more beautiful.
Effects of Botox injection for beautiful legs and calves
-
Point
Effective in about 1 month
Botox injections for beautiful legs in the calves can be performed over a wide range of areas, so many people can see the effects within about a month after injecting Botox.This is the time required for the muscles to become smaller after they are no longer used, so don't worry about it and keep an eye on it for about a month.
-
Point
More effective if repeated
Botox treatment for beautiful legs and calves tends to be more effective after the second treatment than the first time, and the effect period is significantly longer.It is most effective to perform the next Botox injection before the effects of Botox have completely worn off.

Disadvantages of Botox injection for beautiful legs and calves
Botox injections into the calves, like any other medical procedure, have certain disadvantages.The main ones are listed below.
-
temporary effect
The effects of Botox are temporary, and muscle activity gradually returns, usually after 3 to 6 months, requiring periodic reinjections.
-
Effects that vary from person to person
The effects vary depending on the person.Also, it may take several weeks to see results.
-
Possible side effects
You may experience temporary side effects such as swelling, pain, bleeding, or bruising at the injection site.In rare cases, allergic reactions or excessive muscle weakness may occur.
-
cost
This is a cosmetic treatment that is not covered by insurance, so it will be expensive.Long-term costs must also be considered, as periodic reinjections are required to maintain efficacy.
-
unnatural muscle movements
Botox can overly restrict muscle movement, causing unnatural gait and movement.
It is important to understand these disadvantages and decide whether or not to undergo treatment after appropriate counseling and examination.Additionally, the skill and experience of the doctor performing Botox injections greatly influences the effectiveness and risk of side effects.

Botox injections into the calf are generally considered a treatment with little downtime, but there are still certain side effects and precautions.
Botox injection itself is a relatively simple treatment, so you can return to your normal life immediately after the injection.However, you may experience some swelling and pain at the injection site on the first day.In addition, it is best to avoid exercise and massage for about a week after the injection, as they may affect the muscles.
Side effects may include temporary swelling, pain, bleeding, and bruising at the injection site.In rare cases, allergic reactions, excessive muscle weakness, or abnormal muscle movements may occur.
