Nonsurgical Calf Reduction
Calf Botox in Atlanta, GA
When it comes to the lower legs’ muscles, many women feel self-conscious about having bulky-looking calves or uneven calf sizes. As an alternative to surgery, Botox can be used to relax certain muscles, which makes them appear slimmer and more streamlined.
This procedure does not affect the calf function; patients can continue with their regular activities. Relaxing the calf muscles with Botox® can result in a slimmer, more feminine appearance. Botox can make their legs look and feel more symmetrical for women who have larger muscles in one calf than in the other.

How Is Calf Botox Performed?
Although Botox injections produce very little discomfort, you may opt to use a numbing topical cream if you like. Then, using a series of syringes, Dr. Huynh will inject Botox evenly and precisely across the gastrocnemius, which is the main calf muscle that creates definition and bulkiness. The entire procedure can be completed in less than one hour. Since Calf Botox is a non-invasive procedure, no special preparations are necessary.

Other benefits include:
- Noninvasive procedure
- No scarring
- No downtime for recovery
- Less prominent calf muscles

FAQs for Calf Reduction
To retain the results of your calf reduction Botox® treatments, you need maintenance sessions. Typically, these sessions are scheduled four to six months apart. But the actual timeline varies on a case-by-case basis and depends upon how you are reacting to the treatment.
Its temporary nature makes Botox® for calf reduction a flexible treatment. If you do not like the results or want to let go of your new look, you can stop the maintenance injections at any time.
Botox® cosmetic treatments for calf reduction may cost around $300 to $400. However, this is just an estimate and the actual cost for your Botox® treatment may vary. To manage your expectations and make an informed decision, it is important that you get a personalized quote from your Botox® provider.
Often, you can get this estimate during the first consultation. This will let you determine whether you can afford the Botox® treatment or if you need to explore other options. In turn, you can obtain your dream appearance for your legs without putting unnecessary burden on your bank account.
Typically, neuromodulators (Botox® or Dysport) treatment for calf reduction can take anywhere from one to two months to take effect. It is because once the Botox® composition of botulinum toxin is injected within the treatment site, it starts blocking nerve signals from the treated nerves to the brain. In terms of calf reduction, this prevention of dynamic movement reduces the appearance of your gastrocnemius muscle, which is the chief muscle of your calf.
As a result, you can obtain shapelier legs that more closely match your ideal appearance. From there, you can maintain your new look with ongoing Botox® maintenance treatments.
After receiving Botox® or Dysport for calf reduction, you do not have to face excessive downtime. Typically, you can resume your daily activities right after your Botox® treatment. This little to no downtime ensures that you can go about your day-to-day engagements without having to take extensive time off work or your social engagements.
However, you may need to rest for at least one to two days after your neuromodulator treatment if you experience any side effects such as muscle weakness interfering with normal gait. This allows you to steer clear of any possible discomfort, ache, swelling, and bruising. You should follow the personalized advice of your Botox® provider to ensure your comfort after the treatment. This may include taking over-the-counter medicine to reduce pain and not rubbing the treatment site.
While Botox® does not require you to go through a recovery period, you still need to take certain steps before your treatment to ensure you get the results you desire and prevent discomfort.
This includes the practice to steer clear of exercise at least a day before your treatment and avoid alcohol and smoking at least a week before it. You can also discuss additional measures with your Botox® provider to get personalized preparation advice according to your lifestyle.
