There are people who are concerned that their calves look particularly thick or that hard muscles stand out when they tense their legs. Since the calf line does not easily change even after weight loss, some even look into calf Botox.

Today, I will summarize everything from the reasons why calves look thick to the effects of calf Botox, when the effects appear, the duration of the results, and who it is recommended for.

1. Reasons why calves get thicker

It is said that the reasons why calves look thick are as follows.

 

1) Muscular calves

When you tense your calves, firm muscles may bulge out, and your calf muscles may become distinctly visible when you lift your heels. It is said that calf muscles can develop if you regularly engage in exercises that frequently use your lower body muscles, such as running, hiking, or cycling.

 

2) Fatty calves

There are cases where you can feel a relatively thick layer of fat when you grab your calves. In such cases, body fat is said to be the main cause.

 

3) Edematous calves

Your legs may swell after sitting or standing for a long time, and your calves may appear thicker in the evening than in the morning. It is said that edema or blood circulation problems can also make your calves look thicker.

2. Effects of Calf Botox

Calf Botox is a procedure that creates a smooth calf line by injecting botulinum toxin into overdeveloped calf muscles to inhibit the secretion of neurotransmitters and weaken the muscles, thereby reducing their size. The following effects can be expected.

1) Relaxation of developed calf muscles

It is said that calf Botox can help alleviate overly developed calf muscles by reducing the movement of muscles that become prominent when tensing the legs.

 

2) Improves smooth calf lines

It is said that as muscle volume decreases, you can expect the bumpy, protruding calf lines to become smoother and more refined.

 

3) Correcting left-right calf asymmetry

The degree of calf muscle development can differ on both sides depending on factors such as gait and exercise habits. It is said that adjusting the injection amount by checking the size and movement of the muscles on both sides can help correct this asymmetry.

3. Timing and Duration of Calf Botox Effects

If you are considering calf Botox treatment, you are likely wondering when the effects will appear and how long they will last. The timing of the effects and the duration are as follows.

 

- Time for effects to appear: Within 4 weeks after the procedure

- Duration: Average 3-4 months

 

It is said that the time it takes for the effects of calf Botox to appear can vary depending on the existing size of the calf muscles, the type and dosage of Botox injected, and the amount of regular exercise.

4. Recommended candidates for calf Botox

It is said that you can consider calf Botox in the following cases.

 

- When you feel tightness in your calf muscles when you tense your legs

- Cases where calf muscles remain unchanged even after weight loss

- When you are self-conscious about your calf line when wearing short bottoms

- If you want to gently tone down calf muscles developed through exercise

5. Precautions After Calf Botox Procedure

1) Do not press hard on the treatment area

It is recommended to avoid strong pressure for a certain period, as rubbing the calves vigorously or performing meridian massage immediately after the procedure can cause irritation.

 

2) Avoid activities that strain the calves

It is advisable to avoid activities that put direct strain on the calves after the procedure. It is important to avoid movements that place strong stress on the calves, such as hiking, wearing high heels, or squats.

 

3) Avoid drinking and saunas

It is recommended to avoid activities that cause your body temperature to rise excessively for a few days after the procedure, as drinking alcohol, saunas, and steam rooms can dilate blood vessels and worsen swelling or bruising.

6. Q&A

1) Is it enough to get calf Botox just once?
You can feel a change after just one treatment, but the effects are not permanent. As muscle function recovers, the calf line may become more prominent again.

 

2) What is the price of calf Botox?
The price of Maypure calf Botox is said to be 79,000 won based on 100U of domestic Botox.
