Why consider lower leg Calf Slimming?
One of the most prominent characteristics of the human body is the calf muscle.
Most women are concerned with whether their legs are attractive, slim, and firm.
Oversized muscular calves are a prevalent concern in Asians. When you utilize these muscles to walk, stand in heels, or exercise, they bulge and thicken.
In addition, some women may have larger and more prominent calf muscles than other.
Botox injections has quickly become one of the most noticeable and iconic treatments in the world.
Botox is an ideal option for people who do not wish to undergo surgical procedures for lower leg calf slimming otherwise known as calf reduction.
How does botox create a slimming effect for Calf Reduction?
Calf slimming or Calf Reduction is a typical procedure used by people who wish to shape and contour their bodies.
While most plastic surgeries remove fat and skin tags, this procedure focuses on the calf muscle (gastrocnemius) and improving its contour.
The gastrocnemius muscle is the major muscle that botox Doctors focus on to shrink the calf.
It's crucial to know that your calf muscles will keep working normally. As a result, you can resume your normal activities and exercises following the therapy.
Botox involves injecting a chemical called botulinum toxin, into the calf, where it can block signal transmission between the muscles and the nerves.
With the blockage of the signal transmission, the muscle contraction is reduced and overtime, the muscle undergoes a process called disuse atrophy whereby the muscle bulk size shrinks – thereby giving a slimming effect.
What are the benefits of Calf Slimming Botox treatment?
The major objective of calf slimming is to achieve a harmonious and smooth leg shape.
Botox injection is an efficient and safe treatment for calf muscle hypertrophy.
After receiving a botulinum toxin injection, you will notice a reduction in the prominence and size of the calf muscle with no scarring or downtime.
Calf reduction eventually results in a more feminine, symmetrical shape of the calves. As a result, botox can provide obvious and long-lasting effects.
