How does Calf Reduction Botox work?
The goal of a calf reduction by Botox injections is to slim and contour your calf muscles.
Calf reduction botox or dysport works by temporarily weakening your calf muscles which leads to controlled atrophy or shrinkage of your calf muscles.
Compared to surgical treatments, Botox injections are less invasive than surgical muscle resection of the calf muscle, liposuction or nerve ablation.
Botox injections can still create noticeable and temporary effects for patients who desire a slimmer lower leg.
How many units of Botox do I need for Calf reduction?
50 to 100 units of Botox or 100 to 200 units of Dysport are needed for calf reduction .
The target muscle is the gastrocnemius muscle. This is the most superficial calf muscle that is responsible for bulkiness and definition of your calves.
How is calf reduction botox performed?
After numbing cream is applied, Botox or Dysport will be carefully injected evenly across the gastrocnemius muscle in a series of multiple tiny injections.
